Zoeterwoudsesingel 1-D2313 AX LeidenTuinstadwijk

"ONE OF A KIND!" A highly atmospheric, beautifully located, and almost entirely new ground-floor apartment with a sunny private garden and spacious storage room. This modern and small-scale apartment building (with 3 separate residences) was built in 2019 to the highest standards, combining a stylish, classic design with exceptional quality. This immediately available, turnkey apartment is energy-efficient, featuring modern insulation, solar panels, and an energy label A. The property is situated on the edge of the city center, where all the conveniences of urban living are within easy reach. Every Wednesday and Saturday, you can do your grocery shopping at the weekly market just a short walk away. You can enjoy shopping in the Doezastraat and Herenstraat, and there are various charming terraces nearby. Leiden Central Station is just a 5-minute bike ride away, and the nearby N206 provides easy access to the A4/A44/N11 highways, connecting you to Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. Layout Before we open the front door for you, it's worth taking a moment to admire the beautifully crafted brick façade. The architect has paid special attention to the design of the façade. The building, with its attractive exterior, certainly lives up to its design ambitions! It's also possible to add a bench or a small garden border on the sidewalk in front, where you can enjoy your morning coffee while soaking up the first rays of the sun. You’ll often spot boats passing by along the canal. Upon opening the large white front door, you enter the spacious, wide hallway. Immediately to your right, there are three doors leading to the utility rooms of the three apartments. Walking past these, you’ll find the entrance to apartment 1-D, which we are now offering for sale. Before we open the door to the apartment, we’d like to point out the long hallway that leads to an external door at the end. At the back of the building, there are three large storage rooms and a back door leading to the large garden that belongs to this apartment. It is extremely rare to find a new-build apartment within or near the city center, let alone one that comes with a private garden, a back entrance, and a storage space. We can assure you, this is truly a "needle in a haystack"! This is your chance! Through the front door of apartment 1-D, you enter a hallway with four doors and a long corridor that will likely capture your interest. The hallway has enough space for a large hanging coat rack and an elegant standing coat rack. Directly to the right, you’ll find the first door leading into the first bedroom—a cozy room perfect as a study or guest room. The second door to the right opens into the master bedroom, which easily accommodates a large double bed, with plenty of space left for a large wardrobe. Both bedrooms are fitted with a clever, beautifully integrated filtered ventilation system built into the façade (above the window frames), which allows fresh air to circulate without needing to open a window. The architect really thought of everything! The walls are finished with sleek plaster, and the floors are covered with tasteful, high-quality laminate. The third door in the hallway opens into a spacious storage closet, where the large electric boiler and mechanical ventilation system are located. On the opposite side (directly to your right as you enter), you can place the washing machine with a dryer on top. And then there’s the fourth door, which leads into a well-maintained, spacious toilet room, also equipped with a small sink. Everything is finished to a high standard, using quality materials and sanitary fixtures. The hallway calls to you! ;-) As you can already see from the pictures, plenty of natural light pours into the hallway from the living room. A kind of light shaft draws you into the living room. But before we reach that, let’s open the door to your right to reveal the spacious bathroom. Calling it your own "hamam" might be a stretch, but this bathroom is definitely luxurious. You’ll notice the large rainfall shower right away. The elegant, wide double sink vanity will certainly catch your eye too. The floor features beautiful large ceramic tiles with a natural stone look, and the walls are a creative mix of warm, traditional "Old Dutch" white tiles on one side and sleek, calibrated white tiles on the other. Very stylish! "Can we now see the living room?" Yes, welcome to the best room in the apartment—the spacious, bright, garden-facing living room. Thanks to its square layout, this room can be arranged in various ways. The current layout, as shown in the photos, is just one option. But we wouldn't be surprised if you envision a large dining table in the summer near the kitchen, with the opening doors extending the space further into the garden. The choice is yours! One thing is certain: it's a wonderful space. The kitchen is perfect for the avid cook, offering plenty of counter space, high-quality appliances, and ample storage. The "breakfast bar" completes the look. As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, after enjoying your morning coffee on the bench by the street, you can open the two French doors and continue enjoying the outdoors in your own private garden. Because the garden is fully enclosed by surrounding buildings, you won’t need to worry about unwelcome guests when you step out to do some shopping in the nearby Herenstraat or Doezastraat. This is what makes it so unique—living right in the heart of the city, within walking distance of everything that makes Leiden so charming, and yet enjoying so much peace, security, and privacy in your own garden. A prime location! The garden’s square layout offers ample space to create two or three seating areas. Your garden tools can easily be stored in the storage room at the back, and the same "back entrance" through the hallway allows you to place your bike(s) in the storage room without having to go through the apartment. You’ll still have plenty of space left for other items. We’d love to show you around. A nice detail is that this apartment is heated using an ingenious electric heating system, which feels exceptionally pleasant. Additionally, with four solar panels installed on the roof of this small apartment building, dedicated to just this apartment, you’ll save significantly on heating costs. The property is optimally insulated and has a very favorable energy label: A. As you can probably tell, we are very enthusiastic about this apartment. It has so much to offer. It really belongs in the "one of a kind" category. The location, the finishes, the beautiful garden, the back entrance, and the storage room—all the boxes are checked.
