Waterfront detached home with sunny southwest garden and ground floor potential in Rijnsburg
Key Features
Upsides
- Prime waterfront location on the Additioneel Kanaal with open views over the Oude Rijn and direct access to the water
- Spacious southwest-facing rear garden of 154 square meters offering abundant sunlight and privacy
- Ground floor bedroom possibility with potential to create a bathroom, enabling single-level living
- Well-maintained property with recent 2023 boiler replacement, energy label B, and insulation on roof, walls, and glazing
- Practical amenities including carport, storage shed with dual garden access, and good parking availability on the street
Downsides
- Living space of 130 square meters on a 316 square meter plot is relatively modest for a detached house, which may limit long-term resale appeal for larger families
- Only one bathroom for four bedrooms, which could create morning congestion for larger households
- Carpet flooring in bedrooms may require replacement and limits design flexibility compared to hardwood or tile
- The property has been marketed as gestoffeerd (unfurnished but with basic fittings), which means buyers may need to budget for additional renovations or updates to meet personal standards
- Acceptance in overleg (mutual agreement) means no firm move-in date is guaranteed, which could complicate planning for buyers with time-sensitive relocations
Description
This spacious detached house is situated at Duizendschoon 29 in Rijnsburg, directly on the Additioneel Kanaal with an open view over the Oude Rijn. Built in 1988, the property offers approximately 130 square meters of living space on a plot of 316 square meters, making it a substantial family home in a desirable waterfront location.
The ground floor entrance leads into a hallway that provides access to a separate toilet with a small sink, a ground floor bedroom or study, and the staircase to the first floor. The ground floor bedroom is generously sized and could easily accommodate a bathroom, which would enable single-level living. Practical built-in storage is available on this level as well.
The living room is bright and airy thanks to large windows and a sliding door that opens to the garden. It features a cozy fireplace and benefits from underfloor heating, with the exception of the ground floor bedroom. The open kitchen is positioned at the rear of the house and comes equipped with an oven, induction cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator, and dishwasher. A practical utility room with the central heating boiler (replaced in 2023) is located behind the kitchen.
The rear garden is a standout feature of this property. Oriented toward the southwest and measuring approximately 154 square meters (13.27 meters deep by 11.60 meters wide), it offers ample space for outdoor living and receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The garden provides direct views over the water and the Kwakelwei, offering both privacy and a pleasant green outlook. An automatic awning provides shade on sunny days. The garden is accessible from the rear.
A spacious storage shed with doors to both the front and rear gardens provides room for bicycles and other belongings. The partially covered driveway with carport allows for parking on the property.
The first floor comprises a landing, three generously sized bedrooms, and the bathroom. All bedrooms are fitted with carpet flooring. The bathroom is equipped with a double vanity, toilet, bidet, shower, bathtub, and design towel radiator. Additional storage is available throughout the house, including walk-in closets, storage space behind the shutters on the landing, and a full-length attic accessible via a ladder.
The property is located in a quiet and child-friendly neighborhood with a small green square at the front, ample parking, and minimal through traffic. Marina Rijnsburg harbor is within walking distance. Daily amenities are nearby, and the area offers good connectivity to Leiden, Amsterdam, and The Hague via nearby roads.
The house has an energy label B and is equipped with roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by the gas-fired combination boiler from 2023, which is owned. Ownership of the property is full ownership (volle eigendom).
The asking price is 750,000 euros (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 5,769 euros per square meter of living space. Acceptance of the property is by mutual agreement.
