Spacious Semi-Detached Home with 6 Bedrooms and Large Garden in Leiden's Van Eijsingapark

The property is located in the Van Eijsingapark, a small-scale development of 10 luxury villas situated in the Vogelwijk neighborhood of Leiden. This semi-detached residence was built in 1991 and is nestled in green surroundings adjacent to the Bos van Bosman. The park is traffic-free and car-free, accessible via a driveway from the Rijnsburgerweg. The enclosed section of the park is jointly owned by the residents of Van Eijsingapark, creating a quiet and safe living environment.

The home features a living area of 186 square meters and is situated on a generous plot of 445 square meters. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms, this property offers ample space for a large family or those who require additional rooms for home offices or hobbies. The gross volume of the residence is 710 cubic meters.

On the ground floor, visitors enter through a covered entrance into a spacious hallway with a meter cupboard and a toilet with a washbasin. From the hallway, there is access to a heated utility and laundry room that was renovated in 2020. This multifunctional space features French doors and has connections for a washing machine and dryer.

The living room is characterized by its warm parquet flooring and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. Large windows and a wide sliding door ensure excellent natural light and provide views of and access to the spacious backyard. The interior and exterior spaces flow seamlessly into one another.

Adjacent to the living room, a custom-made double-sided cabinet with a sliding door leads to a very generous bedroom with its own modern bathroom. This bathroom is equipped with underfloor heating, a wall-hung toilet, and a spacious walk-in shower with both a rain shower and a hand shower. The bedroom also has direct access to the garden. If desired, this bedroom can easily be reconnected to the living room or set up as a home office space.

At the front of the property is a lockable kitchen with ample cabinet space and various built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, dishwasher, combi-oven, and refrigerator. The kitchen also offers enough room for a light dining area with a view of the front garden.

The first floor is notable for its spaciousness, featuring five bedrooms and two bathrooms. All five bedrooms are bright, with the largest having a remarkably high ceiling. The first bathroom is fitted with a shower cubicle and a washbasin with cabinet. The second, more spacious bathroom features a double washbasin, a bathtub, and a walk-in shower, providing practical facilities when multiple family members need to use them simultaneously. The landing includes a separate toilet and provides access via a hatch to the attic storage space where the central heating boiler, mechanical ventilation system, and the inverter for the solar panels are located.

The property is situated on a beautifully landscaped plot of 445 square meters, surrounded by mature greenery. Despite the proximity to Leiden's city center, the location offers the peaceful and secluded atmosphere of a wooded, park-like environment. The front garden is wide and includes parking space on the property for a car, with sufficient room for multiple bicycles as well as a pleasant seating area.

A long side garden leads to the backyard, a green oasis with year-round color due to the variety of plants and flowers. With a depth of approximately 22 meters and a width of approximately 11 meters, the northeast-facing garden always offers a spot in either sun or shade according to preference. At the back of the garden stands a practical small wooden shed for garden equipment.

The property has an energy label B and is fully equipped with double glazing and floor, wall, and roof insulation. Nine solar panels contribute to energy efficiency. The central heating boiler is an Atag Enigma from 2004, which is gas-fired and owned by the property. Mechanical ventilation is installed throughout the home.

The location is exceptionally central: within minutes, one can walk to the beautiful Leidse Hout park or Leiden Central Station. From the station, The Hague and Schiphol Airport are reachable in 15 minutes, and Amsterdam South in 25 minutes. The city center with its shops, restaurants, market, and the Singelpark is also quickly accessible. The property is also favorably positioned relative to the LUMC, the Bio Science Park, various international schools, and roads to The Hague, Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and the beaches of Katwijk and Noordwijk, all approximately 15 minutes away.

In 2020, parts of the property were renovated, including the creation of a bedroom next to the living and dining room and the conversion of part of the garage into a modern en-suite bathroom. The exterior painting work including window frames, windows, and doors was carried out in 2025 by a recognized painting company, with the fascia boards and gutters having been done in 2022.

There is a share in the jointly owned land, with an annual contribution of 1,200 euros. Many movable items will remain with the property, as detailed in a separate list. The transfer will take place by mutual agreement.

For properties older than 30 years, the age and materials clause applies. For properties built before 1993, the asbestos clause applies. The non-owner-occupancy clause is also applicable.

The Van Eijsingapark development represents a unique housing concept in Leiden, where residents share ownership of the private, enclosed section of the park. This arrangement ensures that the area remains peaceful and safe, free from through traffic and external parking. The annual contribution covers the maintenance and management of these shared facilities.

The architectural style of the property reflects the design preferences of the early 1990s, with the pitched tile roof giving the home a classic appearance that blends harmoniously with the natural surroundings. The gable roof construction is both aesthetically pleasing and practical, offering good drainage and additional storage space in the attic.

The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully modified to accommodate life-cycle sustainable living. The presence of a bedroom and full bathroom on the ground floor means that residents can age in place without needing to navigate stairs. This feature is increasingly valued in the Dutch housing market.

The heating system combines modern efficiency with traditional comfort. While the central heating boiler provides consistent warmth throughout the home, the wood-burning fireplace in the living room offers an alternative heating source and creates a cozy atmosphere during colder months. The partial underfloor heating in the ground floor bathroom adds an extra level of comfort.

The kitchen, while located at the front of the house, benefits from good natural light and views of the front garden. The inclusion of an induction cooktop reflects a modern, energy-efficient approach to cooking, while the combi-oven and dishwasher contribute to the convenience of meal preparation and cleanup.

The first floor bedrooms offer flexibility in their use. The remarkable ceiling height in the largest bedroom creates a sense of spaciousness. The two bathrooms on this floor ensure that even with full occupancy, there is no bottleneck during morning routines.

The northeast-facing garden orientation means that the backyard receives morning and early afternoon sun, making it suitable for breakfast or lunch outdoors. During the hotter afternoon hours, the garden naturally provides shaded areas.

The proximity to the Leidse Hout, one of Leiden's most beloved parks, extends the recreational possibilities beyond the private garden. This park offers walking paths, a petting zoo, a café, and open spaces for relaxation and exercise. The combination of a private garden and public park access creates an ideal balance for those who value both privacy and community amenities.

For families with children, the location offers access to various schools, including international options that cater to the expat community drawn to Leiden by its university and research institutions. The Bio Science Park, home to numerous biotechnology companies and research facilities, is within easy reach, making this property particularly attractive to professionals working in the life sciences sector.

The transport connections are a significant advantage of this location. Leiden Central Station is a major hub with direct connections to all major cities in the Randstad. The 15-minute connection to Schiphol Airport is particularly valuable for those who travel frequently for business or pleasure.

The listing notes that the property is available, subject to agreement on the transfer date. The various contractual clauses mentioned are standard for Dutch real estate transactions involving properties of this age and provide legal protection for both buyer and seller.
