Charming and spacious home with sunny South-facing garden in the green, family friendly Merenwijk Located in the green and child-friendly Merenwijk, this charming home offers a surprising amount of space and a wonderfully sunny south-facing garden. Thanks to the mezzanine, abundant natural light, and practical layout, the house immediately feels warm and welcoming. The property is fully double-glazed and well maintained throughout. Upon entering, you are immediately greeted by the home’s inviting atmosphere. The hall features a coat rack with storage space, a toilet, and a convenient separate closet with room for a washing machine and dryer, the central heating boiler (2016), and the mechanical ventilation unit. The meter cupboard, located outside by the front door, includes 4 circuits and 2 residual-current devices. The living room is spacious and full of character, with an open connection to the generous mezzanine above. The skylight above the mezzanine floods the space with natural light, creating an airy and open feel. A beautiful wood-burning stove adds warmth and coziness to the room. In 2022, a new sliding door with HR++ glazing was installed, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency. From the living room, there is direct access to the sunny south-facing garden. The perfect place to enjoy the sun until the evening hours. The garden is well-proportioned and features a low fence allowing plenty of daylight, a back entrance, and a large brick shed. Ideal for extra storage. At the front of the house is the modern, well-maintained kitchen. Although slightly older, it is in good condition and equipped with various built-in appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, microwave, and fridge-freezer combination. A lovely spot to cook while staying connected with family or guests in the living room. On the first floor, there are two bedrooms, both spacious and bright. The rear bedroom has been enlarged by merging two former rooms, with part of the generous landing converted into a walk-in closet. Also on this floor is the bathroom (partly renewed in 2023), complete with a walk-in shower, second toilet, and vanity unit. A roof window provides natural ventilation, and the mechanical system ensures a pleasant indoor climate. This is a wonderful place to live in the sought-after, family-friendly Merenwijk: a green, spacious neighborhood with a strong community feel, plenty of playgrounds, green areas, and amenities. Schools, sports fields, shops, and the De Kopermolen shopping center are all nearby. The historic city center of Leiden is easily accessible, as are the main roads toward the A4 and A44 motorways.
