Exceptional architect-designed bungalow on a 1,615 m² plot in the prestigious Essenpark district of Leiderdorp

The perfect combination of peace, space and endless possibilities – that is perhaps the best way to describe this remarkable bungalow in the highly sought-after Essenpark neighbourhood of Leiderdorp.

All bungalows in Essenpark were built in the mid-1960s on exceptionally generous plots, and this architect-designed residence is no exception. Offering an impressive 246 m² of living space, an additional 30 m² of external storage space and a magnificent 1,615 m² plot, this property provides an outstanding level of privacy, comfort and flexibility.

Over recent years, the current owners have substantially upgraded the home, particularly with regard to energy efficiency. The property now boasts an Energy Label A, 42 solar panels, a hybrid heat pump and split-unit air conditioning systems.

A defining feature of this home is its thoughtful architectural design and the abundance of natural light throughout. The carefully planned layout caters to a wide range of lifestyles, whether you are a growing family seeking generous living space or looking for the convenience of single-level living. In addition to the spacious living room and kitchen, the property offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The beautifully landscaped garden provides exceptional privacy. At the rear, a large lawn is surrounded by mature greenery, creating a peaceful and secluded outdoor environment. A spacious sun terrace enjoys an excellent orientation, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. On warmer days, shade can be found beneath the natural canopy of a mature grapevine.

The property also benefits from a private driveway with parking for two cars, ensuring convenient off-street parking.

A wide, landscaped front garden creates a pleasant distance from the quiet residential street and contributes to the property’s privacy. The generous driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles, while the covered entrance features a charging point for an electric vehicle next to the front door.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway providing access to both the living areas and the kitchen. At the front of the property, to the left, is the modern kitchen, renovated in 2020. The kitchen is arranged in a practical U-shaped layout and benefits from underfloor heating. It offers extensive worktop and storage space and is equipped with a large five-burner Boretti induction cooker, double electric oven, extractor hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, combination microwave oven and a Quooker boiling-water tap.

The rear façade incorporates six large windows, two of which can be opened, creating an abundance of natural light and offering beautiful views across the garden.

A second hallway leads to the private sleeping quarters and bathrooms. On either side of this hallway are built-in storage cupboards, one of which houses the hybrid heating system. The corridor provides access to a separate toilet fitted with a wall-mounted closet and washbasin.

The four bedrooms are located along the left-hand side of the house. The first three bedrooms, viewed from the front of the property, all feature built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom at the rear is particularly spacious and benefits from French doors opening onto the garden as well as a large walk-in wardrobe.
