Characteristic townhouse with city garden in Leerdam center

This characteristic townhouse from 1929 is situated on an excellent location in the Bergstraat, right in the center of Leerdam. The property has a white painted facade with a saddle roof, a dark green front door, and authentic stained glass details on the exterior that give the house its own distinctive appearance. Inside you will find two bedrooms, a completely renewed bathroom, and a sheltered city garden. In 2024, eight solar panels were installed, a new bathroom was placed, and the utility room was modernized. This makes it an ideal home for a starter or couple looking to live centrally with character.

The location speaks for itself. Supermarkets, shops, and hospitality venues are within walking distance. The NS station and the roads towards Gorinchem and the A2, A15, and A27 motorways are quickly accessible. If you want to leave the city for a while, you can cycle to the open river landscape of the Linge within a few minutes.

Upon entering through the front door on the Bergstraat, you step into the hallway. The hallway immediately has character with its atmospheric wallpaper walls featuring a botanical motif, a charming floor, and a stained glass fanlight above the front door. From the portal you can reach the front room through an interior door, and the staircase to the upper floor is visible.

The dining room on the street side is a light and quiet space with a laminate floor, wainscoting, and the characteristic stained glass upper windows that let beautifully colored light inside. The living room on the garden side is the largest living space on the ground floor. The same warm combination of laminate floor, decorative moldings, and stained glass gives the room its own atmosphere. The large window looks out over the city garden and ensures pleasant light entry. Through an open connection the kitchen is directly accessible.

The kitchen is arranged in a straight layout with white fronts, a dark countertop, and a black and white checkered tile floor. The kitchen is equipped with a gas hob and an extractor hood. A door provides access to the utility room. The utility room, modernized in 2024, offers space for the washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, and a large built-in closet with storage space. Adjacent to this is the bathroom, which was also completely renewed in 2024. It is neatly finished with a spacious walk-in shower with a rain shower head, a washbasin cabinet with an illuminated round mirror, a toilet, and a designer radiator. The elegant floor tile gives the room a well-maintained appearance. Above the bathroom there is a storage attic.

Via the white wooden staircase from the portal you reach the landing on the first floor. Here you will find the two bedrooms, both located under the saddle roof with the open wooden beams and boarded ceiling. The woodwork has a warm color and gives both rooms a special character.

The bedroom at the rear has its own washbasin and offers space for a double bed. The bedroom at the front has a skylight and a window at the rear facade. Here too the visible wooden beams define the picture. The room can be well used as a home office or guest room. Very convenient here is the extra storage space in the attic in the ridge.

Behind the property there is a sheltered city garden that is accessible via the utility room. The garden is equipped with decorative tiles in a plastic frame, planters with flowers, and a green vegetated side wall. Compact but well-maintained, and for a property right in the center of Leerdam a real asset. The garden faces southwest and has an area of approximately eight square meters, measuring two meters deep and four meters wide.

Leerdam is located in the municipality of Vijfheerenlanden and is known for the glass industry and cheese making. Leerdam has approximately twenty thousand inhabitants and is located along the beautiful river De Linge and surrounded by city walls. Leerdam has a rich history that can be found in the Great Church, the Hofje van mevrouw van Aerden, and the Old Town Hall.

All facilities that make living in Leerdam attractive are present. There are multiple primary schools, secondary schools, various shops and supermarkets, cultural associations, and sports associations. The old center of Leerdam is characteristically located at the harbor, with the authentic city walls with mouse towers still clearly visible. The center is lively and every Thursday there is a large fresh market. Various shops and galleries are located in the center. The catering in Leerdam is also versatile, with multiple restaurants for a quick bite or an extended dinner.

The property has an energy label E and is partially double glazed. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler, specifically an Intergas Kombi Kompact CW5, which is rented. Fiber optic cable is available at the property. Parking is available through paid parking and parking permits in the area.

With a living area of sixty-two square meters and a plot of fifty-five square meters, this townhouse offers a compact but well-arranged living space in a highly desirable central location. The recent updates in 2024, including the solar panels, new bathroom, and modernized utility room, add contemporary comfort to this characteristic home from 1929.
