Description
Energy-efficient semi-detached house with plenty of space, large driveway, two bathrooms, office and garden on the water
This extended semi-detached house, built in the 1930s style, is ideally located close to amenities, main roads, and the green outskirts of Leidschenveen. This energy-efficient family home offers three bedrooms – with the option to create a fourth – two bathrooms, and an independent office space, which could also serve as a (fifth) bedroom on the ground floor.
Sunlight, quality, comfort
You enter through a spacious hallway with an elegant PVC floor that extends throughout the ground floor and features underfloor heating. In the hall, you will find a first toilet. The next door leads to the living room. On your left-hand side is the lounge area. Thanks to the wide sliding doors and large window, you have a partly open view over the greenery behind the house. As soon as spring arrives, the sliding doors invite you to step outside. During the colder months, the gas fireplace provides warmth and a cosy atmosphere.
The living room flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, which consists of a cooking island and a generous surrounding space. This is what you call a true living kitchen! The stylish island features a strikingly solid worktop and an integrated five-burner stove with oven. The second part of the kitchen, with sink area, is set against the wall and fits beautifully into the overall design.
Back in the living area, a door in the corner leads to an additional (extended) room currently used as an office. Extra amenities, including a washbasin, separate second toilet, compact kitchenette and French doors to the garden, make this a multifunctional space. It could serve as an art studio, second living room, or even a ground-floor bedroom.
Three/four bedrooms and two bathrooms
Upstairs, the spacious landing leads to two very large bedrooms. The bedroom at the front connects to a generous walk-in closet. Both rooms have soft carpeting. From the main bedroom, you can access a balcony that spans the full width of the house, and the soundproof glazing ensures peace and quiet. The second bedroom overlooks the green surroundings behind the house. A partition wall reveals that this used to be two bedrooms, which could easily be restored. The PVC floor adds a clean finish, and both bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning. Recently, extra-tall soundproof doors have been installed on this floor.
The large bathroom, renewed in 2022, combines glossy white tiles with a wood-look floor. It features a double washbasin with mirrored cabinet, bathtub, walk-in rain shower, and electric underfloor heating. The third toilet is located next to the stairs.
On the second floor, you’ll find a large, atmospheric fourth bedroom, also equipped with air conditioning and PVC flooring. Dual dormer windows on both sides provide ample light and space, dividing the room naturally into two zones: a sleeping area and a study nook or walk-in closet. For added comfort, a second bathroom was created here in 2024, featuring a walk-in shower, vanity unit with washbasin, anthracite floor tiles, and marble-look wall panels. This bathroom also includes electric underfloor heating. The laundry area, central heating boiler, and solar water heater are all located here. In summer, this house is nearly gas-free!
PS: All opening windows and doors upstairs are fitted with insect screens.
Sustainable living with smart energy systems
This home is not only spacious and comfortable but also exceptionally energy-efficient. The roof holds no fewer than 26 solar panels, divided into two systems: fourteen installed in 2014 and twelve in 2020. Together, they generate a substantial amount of electricity. Additionally, the house has two solar collectors connected to a 200-liter solar boiler, providing hot water and reducing gas consumption.
The ground floor features underfloor heating beneath the PVC flooring, while both bathrooms have electric underfloor heating for extra comfort and efficiency. Every floor has air conditioning, and the front bedroom is fitted with soundproof glazing.
Thanks to these measures, the property holds an A+ energy label — good for both the environment and your energy bills.
Outdoor terrace with a beautiful view
Back on the ground floor, it’s time to slide open the doors and explore the outdoor space. The first terrace is directly adjacent to the back façade, perfectly positioned to enjoy the sun thanks to its southwest orientation. The green hedge offers privacy and shelter. Around the corner is an open area with a second terrace by the water, flanked by willow trees and a grassy dike.
At the front, the former garage now serves partly as a storage area — ideal for bikes and gardening tools — with a connecting door to the attached office. The inverters for the 26 solar panels are installed here. The driveway fits up to three cars and includes a charging station.
Quiet yet very central location
This lovely home is located in a quiet, low-traffic street. Schools (including the British School) and childcare facilities are within walking or cycling distance, as are the shopping centre and medical facilities. The neighbourhood offers plenty of play areas for children of all ages. Public transport is nearby (with a direct connection to the Mall of the Netherlands), and the A4 and A12 motorways are just a few minutes away by car. Love cycling and walking? The Nieuwe Driemanspolder nature area is just around the corner!
