Oranjelaan 722281 GH Rijswijk (ZH)Leeuwendaal

A CHARACTER PROPERTY OF EXCEPTIONAL PROPORTIONS Offering approximately 318 m² of living space, a former professional practice on the ground floor, a spacious residence above – each with its own private entrance – multiple parking spaces on the property and, above all, an extraordinary range of possibilities. In a beautiful location in the highly sought-after Leeuwendaal district, this semi-detached period townhouse with an attached former practice forms part of a distinctive row of three adjoining houses. Behind its attractive, characterful façade lies a surprisingly substantial property that for many years successfully combined living and working at the same address. The ground floor was formerly occupied by a veterinary clinic, while the upper floors were used as a spacious residence. Both sections have their own separate entrance, allowing the residential and professional areas to be kept naturally and conveniently apart. With approximately 318 m² of usable living space, a plot of 343 m² and a volume of approximately 1,254 m³, this is a property of a scale rarely available in this area. The possibilities are exceptionally versatile. LIVING, WORKING OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH The former practice on the ground floor alone comprises approximately 174 m² and has its own private entrance, multiple rooms and sanitary facilities. This provides an excellent starting point for anyone wishing to combine living and working under one roof.Potential uses could include a practice for a doctor, dentist, physiotherapist, therapist or other healthcare professional, as well as office, consulting or workspace for a home-based profession. As the former practice and residential accommodation can be accessed independently, business and private life can be kept perfectly separate. However, even for those not looking for a home with a practice or office, the sheer amount of space offers considerable potential. The generous ground floor provides numerous opportunities to redesign and adapt the property to suit individual residential requirements.The property may therefore also be of interest for lifetime or accessible living, accommodation for dependent family members or other forms of multi-generational living where substantial space and a degree of independence within a single property are desirable. Naturally, any proposed change to the current permitted use is subject to the purchaser carrying out their own investigations as to whether the intended use complies with the applicable environmental planning regulations and whether any consent or permit is required. A CHARACTERFUL RESIDENCE ON THE UPPER FLOORS The upper-floor residence has an atmosphere all of its own. High ceilings, large windows, abundant natural light and various original features reflect the period in which the property was built. The generously proportioned rooms on the first floor provide ample scope to create an impressive living level. French doors open onto the balcony, while several rooms enjoy attractive views across the characterful surroundings. The second floor offers further spacious accommodation. Here, the shape of the roof, skylights, the distinctive round window in the front façade and exposed timber beams add even more character. Parts of the property are dated, which presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to modernise this exceptional home entirely according to their own taste and contemporary living requirements. OUTDOOR SPACE AND PRIVATE PARKING The property also offers a surprising amount of outdoor space.A spacious driveway provides parking for several cars on the property. Particularly when combining residential use with a professional practice or office, this is an extremely valuable feature.To the rear is a secluded outdoor area with a terrace and greenery, creating a pleasant place to sit outside despite the property's urban setting.
