Description
Located in the heart of the charming and historic center of Oud-Rijswijk, this delightful double upper house offers a unique living experience. Situated diagonally opposite the iconic Old Church, this generous and light-filled four-room residence was built in 1919 and provides the perfect recipe for comfortable and atmospheric living. The property features a fantastic sunny terrace facing southwest and a private storage room for bicycles on the ground floor. All amenities are literally around the corner, making this a highly desirable location.
The living situation here is truly ideal. The cozy Herenstraat, with its diversity of specialty shops, fun stores, and atmospheric catering establishments, is within walking distance. Daily groceries can be done easily at the nearby supermarkets, and on Saturdays, one can simply walk into the cozy weekly market. It is a vibrant and historic living environment where one will feel at home immediately.
The layout of the property is practical and well distributed. The entrance is at street level, located directly next to the well-known Portuguese delicatessen shop Porto Azul. Upon entering, one finds the hall with the meter cupboard and the staircase to the first floor.
The first floor features a spacious landing with a modern toilet, renovated in 2020, which includes a fountain. From the landing, one enters the generous and atmospheric living room. Thanks to the large windows at both the front and side, this room enjoys beautiful light and a lively view. The adjoining dining room at the rear forms a wonderful place for long dinners. Through patio doors or via the modern, semi-open kitchen, there is access to the sunny terrace.
The kitchen, also renovated in 2020, is set up in a practical L-shape and is a dream for cooking enthusiasts. It is equipped with a high-quality stove placed in 2023 featuring a five-burner induction cooktop and three ovens. Additionally, the kitchen contains a refrigerator, freezer, and a dishwasher. The terrace is perfectly situated on the southwest, allowing residents to enjoy the sun here throughout the entire afternoon and evening. A beautiful electric awning provides shelter when desired.
A fixed staircase from the landing leads to the second floor. Here there are two very spacious bedrooms, measuring over 19 square meters and approximately 25 square meters. The charming bedroom at the front features a dormer window and offers more than enough space for sleeping in combination with a comfortable home workspace. Also located on this floor is the beautifully renovated modern bathroom from 2020. It is tastefully finished with a comfortable rain shower, a washbasin furniture, and a toilet.
Several particulars make this property special. The living area is approximately 116 square meters. The toilet, kitchen, bathroom, and hall were stylishly renewed in 2020. In 2025, the patio doors to the terrace were renewed. The entire property is fitted with double glazing. The dining room and one bedroom are equipped with air conditioning for comfort during warmer months. The property has an Energy Label C and features roof insulation, double glazing, and floor insulation.
The Active Homeowners Association manages the building, with a one-third share contribution and a monthly fee of 225 euros. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from 2008, which is owned. The property is located on the second living layer and offers a free view. Parking is available through paid parking, public parking, or parking permits. The cadastrale data identifies the location as RIJSWIJK D 8090 with full ownership. This information serves as an invitation to make an offer, and while care has been taken, no rights can be derived from the text.
