Schaepmanplein 162314 EH LeidenWaardeiland

Two residential floors in this well-maintained maisonette apartment with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two lovely outdoor spaces’ This duplex apartment is located on the first and second floors of a small-scale complex built in 1978 on the popular Waardeiland in Leiden. Inside, the architecture of that period is clearly visible. This is reflected in a spacious living area, a double-height ceiling, plenty of glass and a layout that is anything but ordinary. A living room that automatically makes you look up. A dining table with views over the water. Two outdoor spaces, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and no less than 119 m² of living space spread over two floors. At the same time, the property has been modernised in various areas over the years. The apartment also has energy label B. LAYOUT First floor: The covered staircase on the ground floor leads to the entrance on the first residential level. The hallway offers space for a coat rack and provides access to the surprising living room. At approximately 35 m², the living room is already spacious in its own right, but it is above all the height that makes an impression. Part of the room extends upwards towards the floor above, with the open spiral staircase forming an architectural feature. The result is a living area that feels airy and spacious. The wooden flooring creates a sense of unity and warmth. There is room for a generous seating area as well as a large dining table towards the kitchen. The dining area is perhaps one of the most pleasant spots in the home, as the wide window offers direct views over the water and the greenery along the riverbank. From the living room, you step out onto the first balcony. A sheltered spot with room for a small table and two chairs. There is also a practical outdoor storage cupboard of approximately 2.7 m², providing additional storage space. The kitchen is located directly next to the living room and is visually connected to the living area through two openings, maintaining a sense of openness and connection. The kitchen features light-coloured cabinet fronts, a warm wooden worktop and plenty of drawers and cupboard space. The window above the worktop provides natural light and offers a view of the front door. The kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, combination oven and a large fridge-freezer. The second hallway provides access to the toilet, a bathroom, a built-in cupboard with space for a washing machine and dryer, and two bedrooms measuring approximately 9.3 and 12.6 m². The bathroom is neatly finished and features a bathtub with shower facilities, a washbasin and a heated towel rail. The storage cupboard has connections for laundry appliances and practical shelving for supplies. Both bedrooms are bright and feature built-in wardrobes. The larger bedroom offers sufficient space for a double bed, while the smaller bedroom can easily accommodate a single bed. Second floor: The open spiral staircase in the living room leads to a floor that makes this apartment truly special. Here you will find a spacious bedroom of approximately 20 m². Its generous dimensions allow for much more than just a bed. There is also a large built-in wardrobe, and the room can be arranged as a bedroom with an additional workspace or used entirely as a home office. Adjacent to the bedroom is a second en-suite bathroom of approximately 4.7 m², equipped with a shower, washbasin, heated towel rail and toilet. Having two bathrooms spread across the property is particularly practical for a home with three bedrooms. Storage space has also been carefully considered. On this floor, there is an internal storage room of approximately 6.1 m², providing space for the central heating installation and items that are not needed on a daily basis. The second, larger balcony is accessible from the bedroom. With a depth of more than four metres, there is room for much more than just a small seating area. There is sufficient space for an outdoor dining table, complemented by plants and a lounge area. A wonderful spot, elevated above ground level, where the views over the Oude Rijn create a sense of openness and offer plenty of privacy. On the ground floor, the apartment also has its own easily accessible private storage room, with space for storing bicycles, for example. SURROUNDINGS Schaepmanplein is located on Waardeiland, a peaceful and green residential area on the eastern side of Leiden. Water plays a defining role in the character of the neighbourhood. From the apartment, you even have direct views over the waters of the Oude Rijn. Despite the sheltered location of the ‘island’, the city remains close by. Leiden's historic city centre can easily be reached by bicycle, while several supermarkets and the Winkelhof shopping centre in Leiderdorp are located a short distance away for everyday shopping. Primary schools, other educational facilities, sports amenities and public transport are also available in the surrounding area. Via the N11, N434 and A4, cities such as The Hague, Amsterdam and Utrecht are easily accessible. Waardeiland also has its own marina. Come and have a look and be pleasantly surprised!
