Located in the popular and family-friendly Merenwijk district, this well-maintained family home offers four bedrooms, a private driveway, and a deep, beautifully landscaped rear garden. The property features a practical layout and enjoys a convenient location close to Leiden city centre, schools, and major roads.
For many years, Merenwijk has been a sought-after neighbourhood for families and couples looking to enjoy peaceful, spacious living without sacrificing the convenience of city life. Children can safely play in the square directly in front of the house, while a petting zoo, several playgrounds, and recreational areas are all just a few minutes away. The neighbourhood is known for its abundance of green spaces and waterways, offering plenty of opportunities for walking, cycling, running, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Leiden's historic city centre, schools, shops, sports facilities, and major roads providing easy access to Amsterdam, The Hague, and Schiphol Airport are all within easy reach.
The property itself offers generous living space. The private driveway leads to the entrance and to the front storage room, which currently accommodates the washing machine and dryer connections. This space is equipped with both heating and electricity. The entrance hall provides access to the guest toilet and the living room.
The bright and spacious living room benefits from large windows overlooking the garden, allowing plenty of natural light to flood the space. A wooden floor, a working fireplace, and pleasant garden views create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The semi-open kitchen is directly connected to the living area and is fitted with a six-burner gas stove, double oven, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and an instant hot water boiler.
A few years ago, the rear garden was completely redesigned, creating an attractive and lush outdoor living space. Measuring almost 16 metres in depth and facing east, the garden offers ample room with sunny and shaded spots throughout the day. A charming terrace is located directly behind the house, while the rear of the garden borders a narrow waterway, adding greenery and a peaceful setting. A second terrace at the back provides a wonderful place to relax by the water.
The first floor comprises three generously sized bedrooms and a spacious bathroom featuring a bathtub, second toilet, double washbasin, and washing machine connection.
The second floor offers even more possibilities. Thanks to two dormer windows, this level has become a fully functional living space that can serve as an additional bedroom, home office, hobby room, or a combination of these. For those seeking even more living space, a roof extension (ridge elevation) is a possibility.
In short, this is a spacious and well-maintained family home in a desirable location in Merenwijk, offering generous living space, a wonderful garden, and all amenities within easy reach.
