What an incredibly awesome house!
Truly very much taken care of and with tremendous charm, efficient space, and a freely situated garden.
There is garden space on three sides, providing the house with plenty of privacy and sunshine in the garden at any time of day (when the sun is shining, of course).
This excellently maintained and well-isolated monumental corner-house was designed by the Dutch architect Alexander Kropholler and built in 1941. It’s located opposite greenery, a water feature, a quay, and facing the beautiful Town Hall.
The location and surroundings:
Ideally situated in the historic Raadhuiskwartier. Within walking distance of a variety of local shops, childcare facilities, schools, the Mall of the Netherlands shopping center, the historic center of Leidschendam (Damlaan/Damsquare with cozy terraces by the Vliet and the Veur Theater), and various sports and recreational facilities. Want to take a walk or go for a run? There are plenty of parks and green spaces nearby. The highways A44, A4, A12, and A13 are also located nearby, just as the train stations and public transportation connections.
The layout and dimensions can be found on the floor plan, but here’s a summary:
Ground floor (dimensions approximately 9.43 x 6.76):
Entrance through the front garden; bright hall with wardrobe, deep built-in closet under the stairs, and a modern toilet with cabinet, window, built-in reservoir, and fountain.

The garden:
Sunny & beautifully landscaped gardens oriented to the southwest with various cozy terraces, a sunscreen over the entire width of the house, pond (with fish), hobby greenhouse, a fantastic jacuzzi, and an elegant detached sauna.
The garage with tiled roof and loft is accessible via the garden (currently not via the street, but this can be realized again if the sauna is relocated).
