Detached house with deep back garden and energy label A+
This well-maintained detached house, built in 1969, is located at Rhijngeesterstraatweg 199 and sits on a spacious plot with a deep, green back garden. The property underwent a major architectural renovation in 2006.
In recent years, the property has been extensively modernized and made more sustainable and has had an energy label A+ since 2024 (a summary of the most important renovations can be found further down). The ground floor offers ample space for a bedroom and bathroom, making single-level living possible. Two cars can be parked on own property at the front of the house.
Layout
The entrance to this architect-designed house is located in a side extension. This extension features ample glass and a spacious layout, befitting a modern villa. The entrance provides access to the toilet and the stairs to the first floor.
From the hall, you enter the modern, spacious kitchen, which includes a breakfast bar. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including an induction hob with a separate gas wok burner, a double sink, dishwasher, oven, microwave oven, and a large refrigerator. The open connection to the living room makes it a practical and pleasant living space.
The living room is a remarkably spacious and bright space, thanks in part to the large windows in the renovated sliding doors and the high ceilings overlooking the rooms on the first floor. The fireplace in the center of the living room adds to the ambiance. Located at the rear of the house, the living room opens directly onto the garden. Adjacent is an additional room that could serve as an office, playroom, TV room, or a spacious bedroom with a bathroom. The necessary connections for this are already in place. Finally, a spacious storage room, ideal as a pantry and with space for an extra refrigerator and freezer, is accessible through the living room.
The glass veranda at the rear extends the outdoor season and offers views of the garden. The backyard is over 30 meters deep and faces west-northwest. The garden is designed as a natural garden with abundant greenery, a pond, and diverse plants, creating an attractive habitat for numerous bird species, hedgehogs, frogs, and salamanders. There is also a spacious storage room in the garden.
On the first floor, the landing leads to two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, and sink. The second bathroom is accessible via the landing and is equipped with a shower, toilet, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. There is also a separate storage room on this floor. The mezzanine-like connection to the living room creates an extra sense of space and connection between the two floors.
Location
The house is situated in a green residential area near shops, schools, sports facilities, and parks such as Wijckerslooth, Oud-Poelgeest, and the Klinkenbergerplas lake. The Leiden Bio Science Park and the LUMC are also nearby.
Accessibility
Accessibility is excellent. There is a quick connection to the A44 motorway towards The Hague and Amsterdam. Leiden Central Station is accessible by bike, and there is a bus stop right outside.
