Surprisingly Spacious Family Home with Sunny Southwest Garden
Key Features
Description
Welcome to this charming and surprisingly spacious single family home located in the vibrant heart of Lisse. Situated in the desirable Oranjebuurt neighborhood, this property offers an exceptional opportunity for those looking to settle in a central location with all necessary amenities within easy reach. The residence is positioned on a quiet street, ensuring a peaceful living environment while still being just a short walk away from local shops, reputable schools, and various other essential facilities. This combination of a sheltered location and central convenience makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of buyers, from young families to professionals seeking a comfortable and accessible lifestyle.
The home itself is a well constructed terraced house, originally built in 1986, featuring a traditional saddle roof covered with durable roof tiles. Over the years, the property has been maintained to a reasonable standard, providing a solid foundation for future owners. It features a total living area of 108 square meters, situated on a freehold property with a total plot size of 111 square meters. The layout is spread over three distinct levels, offering a practical and comfortable flow. The current owners have utilized the space effectively, but the listing clearly notes that some modernization is desired. This presents a wonderful blank canvas for buyers to inject their own style and contemporary preferences into the home, updating the aesthetics to suit modern living standards.
Upon entering the property through the main entrance, you are greeted by a welcoming hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the house. The hallway provides access to a convenient separate toilet room, a feature that is highly appreciated in family homes for its practicality. Moving further into the ground floor, the kitchen is located at the front of the house. The current kitchen setup is described as neat but simple. It offers a functional space for daily cooking tasks and provides all the necessary connections for standard appliances. While it may not feature the latest high end finishes, it serves its purpose well and allows the new owner the flexibility to plan a dream kitchen renovation at their own pace without having to pay a premium for a brand new installation they did not choose.
Adjacent to the kitchen and extending towards the rear of the property is the generously proportioned living room. This space is notably light and airy, thanks in part to the large windows and the overall layout. The living room features a practical tiled floor that is not only easy to maintain but also contributes to the clean and spacious feel of the area. The true highlight of this space is the presence of large sliding doors that open directly onto the backyard. This architectural feature seamlessly blends the indoor and outdoor living spaces, allowing natural light to flood the room and providing an effortless transition for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home. The open plan feel ensures that the living area feels much larger than its square footage might suggest.
Moving upstairs to the first floor, the landing provides access to the sleeping areas and the main family bathroom. The layout of this floor has been thoughtfully altered from its original configuration. Originally containing two separate bedrooms at the rear, the dividing wall has been removed to create one exceptionally large and luxurious master bedroom. This spacious room offers ample floor space for a king size bed, large wardrobes, and even a cozy seating area or dressing space. It is a true retreat within the home. At the front of the house, there is a second good sized bedroom, which is perfect for a child's room, a guest room, or a dedicated home office space for those who work remotely.
The family bathroom on the first floor is well appointed and designed for practicality. It is fully equipped with a walk in shower, a modern washbasin with vanity furniture, and importantly, a second toilet. Having a toilet on both the ground floor and the first floor is a significant convenience for families. The bathroom also features mechanical ventilation, which is essential for maintaining good air quality, preventing condensation, and protecting the structure of the building from moisture damage over time. This ensures that the bathroom remains a fresh and pleasant space at all times.
A fixed staircase leads from the first floor landing up to the second floor, which reveals a vast and versatile attic space. This area is currently utilized as a large open room, offering endless possibilities for the new homeowners. It could easily be transformed into a third or fourth bedroom, a spacious home office, a creative hobby room, or a playroom for children. The attic benefits from a dormer window at the rear, which significantly increases the headroom and allows natural light to pour into the space, making it feel more like a proper living area rather than just a storage loft. In addition to the open space, there is extra built in storage available, helping to keep the living areas clutter free.
The second floor also houses the technical heart of the home. The property is equipped with a Nefit combination central heating boiler that was installed relatively recently in 2021. This is a major advantage for buyers, as it means the boiler is modern, efficient, and likely to provide years of reliable service without the immediate need for replacement. The property also features a decent energy label of B, indicating that it is reasonably energy efficient. This is achieved through the presence of roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation, all of which contribute to lower energy bills and a more comfortable, draft free indoor climate throughout the year. Furthermore, the home is fitted with air conditioning units, although the listing notes that these are currently defective and may require repair or replacement by the new owner.
The exterior of the property is just as appealing as the interior. The backyard is a particular standout feature, boasting a highly desirable southwest orientation. This specific positioning ensures that the garden enjoys the afternoon and evening sun, making it the perfect spot for outdoor dining, sunbathing, or simply relaxing with a book. The garden itself measures approximately 52 square meters, with a depth of 9.48 meters and a width of 5.50 meters. It provides enough space for a comfortable patio area as well as some green planting. At the rear of the garden, there is a practical wooden storage shed. This outbuilding is perfect for storing garden tools, bicycles, and other outdoor equipment securely.
Adding to the convenience of the property is the presence of a rear access point to the garden. This feature is highly sought after, as it allows for easy transportation of bulky items to the storage shed without having to carry them through the main living areas of the house. It also provides an alternative, private entrance to the outdoor space. The property is located in an area where parking is managed through public parking spaces on the street, which is typical for central village locations. The combination of a well proportioned, modernizable interior, a sun drenched private garden, and an unbeatable central location in the heart of Lisse makes this property a highly attractive proposition. It offers a rare chance to acquire a home with great bones and significant potential in one of the most accessible parts of the town.
