Stylish Maisonette with Roof Terrace in Leidschendam Center
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is located on the vibrant Damlaan in the heart of Leidschendam, offering immediate access to a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and public transport options.
- The apartment is fully modernized and move-in ready, featuring a high-quality finish with a modern kitchen and a luxurious bathroom, removing the need for any immediate renovation work.
- A unique feature is the spacious roof terrace on the sunny side, which provides a private outdoor space to relax and enjoy the sun, a significant asset for an apartment.
Downsides
- The listing indicates that parking is subject to paid parking and public parking options, meaning there is no private parking spot included with the property.
- The technical details regarding the Homeowners Association (VvE) show 'No' for registration, contributions, and reserve funds, which is highly unusual for an apartment building and suggests a potential lack of formal management or shared maintenance reserves that could pose a financial risk.
- The property is located on the first and second floors of a building from 1924 without mention of an elevator, which could be a consideration for accessibility.
Description
This property presents an opportunity for comfortable and lively living situated in the heart of Leidschendam. The location offers a specific convergence of elements including the charm of a characteristic building combined with the comfort of a recently modernized apartment. The Damlaan serves as the bustling center of Leidschendam. This street is known for its atmospheric mix of specialty shops, boutiques, cozy lunchrooms, restaurants, and terraces. Residents can easily perform daily tasks such as grabbing coffee, grocery shopping, or enjoying a night out, as all amenities are located directly in front of the door. Despite the central and lively location, the apartment itself offers a surprising sense of quiet, allowing residents to benefit from the best of both worlds on a daily basis.

The high-quality finishing, modern kitchen, and luxurious bathroom ensure that one can move in immediately without any need for renovation. Through the entrance on the first floor, one reaches the light living floor.

Interior Comfort
Air Conditioning
Air conditioning is not mentioned in the text or the features list. It is not a standard feature in this type of Dutch apartment, and its absence in the description suggests it is not present.
Central Heating
The features list explicitly states 'Verwarming Cv-ketel' and 'Warm water Cv-ketel', confirming central heating via a boiler.
Fireplace
There is no mention of a fireplace in the description or features. It is highly unlikely in a modernised, 60m² apartment unless specified as a luxury feature.
Hardwood Floors
Floor types are not specified. While a high-quality modern renovation could include hardwood, it is not confirmed. The 'wood-look' kitchen might imply a preference for wood aesthetics, but it's not a guarantee for hardwood floors.
Tiled Floors
Floor types are not specified. Tiles are a common, practical choice for kitchens and bathrooms in modern renovations, but their presence in the living areas is uncertain.
Laminate Flooring
Floor types are not specified. Laminate is a popular and cost-effective flooring option for modern apartments, making it a possibility, but it cannot be confirmed from the provided text.
Carpeted Floors
Wall-to-wall carpet is very uncommon in modernised Dutch apartments and is not mentioned. Its absence from the description suggests it is not a feature.
Underfloor Heating
Underfloor heating is a common feature in modern bathroom renovations, so it might be present there. However, it is not mentioned for the entire apartment. Its absence from the feature list makes its full-property presence unlikely.
Walk In Closet
The listing mentions two bedrooms but does not describe a walk-in closet. Given the 60m² size, it is a highly unlikely feature.
Home Office
The description explicitly states that the flexible rooms on the upper floor can be used as a 'werkruimte' (work space), confirming the potential for a home office.
Skylight
The upper floor is described as having 'sloping roof lines' (schuine daklijnen) and a 'visible roof construction' (zichtbare kapconstructie). This architectural style often incorporates skylights to provide light, which is also mentioned as a feature of the floor, but it is not explicitly stated.
Exposed Beams
The description mentions a 'zichtbare kapconstructie' (visible roof construction) on the second floor. This is a clear indicator of exposed beams or the roof structure being a visible feature of the room.
Bay Window
The first floor is described as having 'grote raampartijen' (large window sections). While this could be a bay window, the term is not used. The building's 1924 origin makes it possible, but without specific mention, it cannot be confirmed.
Private Indoor Pool
A private indoor pool is physically impossible in a 60m² apartment.
Private Indoor Sauna
A private indoor sauna is extremely unlikely in a 60m² apartment and is not mentioned in the listing.
Built-In Wardrobes
Built-in wardrobes are common in modern apartments but are not mentioned in the description. Their presence cannot be confirmed.
French Doors
The listing mentions a 'directe verbinding naar buiten' (direct connection to outside) from the upper floor. While this often implies French doors, it could also be a different type of door or large window. The term is not explicitly used.
Ornamental Plasterwork
The building's 'characteristic' facade suggests some period features, but the interior is 'fully modernised'. This often involves stripping away original details like plasterwork. There is no mention of it being preserved.
Interior Style
Scandinavian
The listing mentions light, high ceilings, and a modern kitchen, which are elements often found in Scandinavian design, but the 'characteristic' nature of the 1924 building and the 'wood-look' kitchen prevent a definitive classification as purely Scandinavian.
Modern
The description repeatedly uses terms like 'recently modernised', 'modern kitchen', 'modern bathroom', 'high-quality finish', and 'ready for the future'. The interior is explicitly described as completely modernised.
Industrial
There are no mentions of industrial elements like exposed brick, metal pipes, or large, raw open spaces. The 'visible roof construction' is described as 'characterful' rather than industrial.
Mediterranean
No features of a Mediterranean style (e.g., terracotta, stucco, courtyard) are described. The location in the Netherlands and the description of a 'characteristic' 1924 building do not support this style.
Classic
The exterior is a 'characteristic building' (karakteristiek pand) from 1924, located on a historic street (Damlaan). The facade and building shell provide a classic character, contrasting with the modern interior.
Exterior Style
Traditional Historic
The building is from 1924, described as 'karakteristiek' (characteristic), has an 'authentieke gevel' (authentic facade), and is located in a protected streetscape.
Early 20th Century
The construction year is explicitly listed as 1924.
Post War Functional
The building was built in 1924, which is before WWII.
Modernist
The building is from 1924 with a characteristic facade. While the interior is modern, the building style is not modernist architecture.
Newly Build
The building was constructed in 1924.
Kitchen
Dishwasher
The description states the kitchen is 'voorzien van diverse inbouwapparatuur' (equipped with various built-in appliances). In a modern, fully renovated apartment in the Netherlands, a dishwasher is a standard inclusion in such a description.
Oven
The listing mentions 'diverse inbouwapparatuur' (various built-in appliances). An oven is a standard fixture in a modern kitchen, though not explicitly named.
Refrigerator
Essential appliance implied by 'diverse inbouwapparatuur' and the description of a livable home.
Open Plan Kitchen
The text explicitly describes an 'open leefruimte' (open living space) where the kitchen forms a stylish whole with the room ('vormt een stijlvol geheel met de ruimte').
Stove
A functional kitchen requires a stove. The description of cooking and dining implies its presence.
Shared Kitchen
The listing is for a private apartment ('woning', 'appartement') with a private asking price and entrance.
Design Kitchen
The kitchen is described as 'stijlvol geheel' (stylish whole), 'eigentijdse houtlook' (contemporary wood look), and has 'hoogwaardige afwerking' (high-quality finishing). This suggests a focus on aesthetics and design.
New Kitchen
The apartment is described as 'recent gemoderniseerd' (recently modernized) and 'instapklaar' (move-in ready), implying the kitchen is recent, though no specific renovation year is given.
Parking & Storage
Parking
The listing explicitly lists parking facilities as 'Betaald parkeren en openbaar parkeren' (paid and public parking).
Storage Room
No separate storage room is mentioned in the layout or features. The layout details living spaces, bedrooms, and a bathroom only.
Garage
The property is a maisonette apartment in a 1924 city center building. No garage is mentioned in the description or features.
Automatic Garage Door
There is no garage present in the property.
Double Garage
There is no garage present in the property.

The listing does not mention a specific bike storage facility ('fietsenberging').
Covered Parking
Parking is described as 'openbaar parkeren' (public parking) with no mention of covered structures.
Underground Parking
The building dates from 1924 and is a characteristic city center building; underground parking is not mentioned and is highly unlikely.
Ev Charging

Workshop
The flexible space on the top floor can be used as a hobby room ('hobbykamer'), but it is not explicitly listed as a workshop.

The listing explicitly states 'Betaald parkeren' (paid parking).
Parkspot Rent Price Month
No private parking spot is included or offered for rent in the listing.

Rules
Owners Association
The property is an apartment with a communal entrance and includes a specific VvE (Owners Association) checklist, indicating an association exists.

Safety & Accessibility
Elevator
The property is a 'maisonette' on the 1st and 2nd floors of an existing building (built in 1924). The description mentions 'Via de gemeenschappelijke entree en trapopgang bereik je het appartement' (Through the common entrance and staircase you reach the apartment). The specific mention of a staircase and no mention of an elevator in the 'Kenmerken' (features) or description strongly suggests there is no elevator, especially for a building of this age.
Alarm System
The description highlights a 'modern' and 'high-quality finish' but does not list an alarm system as a feature. While possible, it's not a standard feature for every apartment, and its absence from the 'Bijzonderheden' (Special features) suggests it's not present.
Security Cameras
There is no mention of security cameras in the listing. For a residential apartment, this would be an unusual feature to omit if present. The 'VvE checklist' is all negative, suggesting a less formally managed building where such amenities are less common.
Private Entrance
The listing states, 'Via de gemeenschappelijke entree en trapopgang bereik je het appartement' (You reach the apartment via the common entrance and staircase). This directly contradicts the existence of a private entrance from street level.
Automatic Gate
The property is described as being on a lively street in the city center ('Damlaan'). There is no mention of a gated community or an automatic gate. The parking situation is described as 'betaald parkeren en openbaar parkeren' (paid parking and public parking), which implies no secured, gated area.
Gated Community
The property is on the 'Damlaan', which is described as the 'bruisende hart van Leidschendam' (the bustling heart of Leidschendam) with shops and restaurants 'voor de deur' (in front of the door). This public, central location contradicts the concept of a gated community.
Wheelchair Accessible
The apartment is on the first and second floors ('Eerste en tweede verdieping') and is accessed via a staircase ('trapopgang'). The absence of an elevator makes it inaccessible for wheelchair users without carrying them up the stairs, which is not a true accessibility feature.
Utilities & Technical
Laundry Room
The layout describes a living area, open kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, but makes no mention of a separate laundry room or utility space.
Smart Home
The listing highlights modernization of the kitchen and bathroom and the age of the boiler, but makes no mention of smart home technology, automation, or smart thermostats.
Water Softener
Water softeners are not standard features in Dutch housing and are not mentioned in the description.
Energy Efficiency
Solar Panels
The listing mentions the property is modernized and has an Energy Label C, but makes no mention of solar panels.
Triple Glazing
Triple glazing is a high-end specific feature that would likely be highlighted. It is not mentioned in the text.
Heat Pump
The heating system is explicitly listed as 'Cv-ketel' (Central heating boiler), not a heat pump.
Home Battery
There is no mention of a home battery system in the description.
