luxury architect houses for sale Rotterdam, Netherlands

Characterful Villa with Coach House On the border of Leidschendam and Voorburg, along a leafy avenue, stands one of the most remarkable villas (280 m²) in the area. This residence features a suite-style living room, a music room, a kitchen, a utility room, six bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a wine cellar. In the south/west-facing garden, you’ll find a coach house with a double garage and a fully equipped apartment (approx. 56 m²). This combination makes the villa ideally suited for a large (blended) family, multi-generational living, or those wishing to accommodate an au pair, guests, or a home office/practice. The front section of the villa was built in the early 19th century and was lovingly extended and renovated around 1930 with great attention to detail. The slate roof, stained-glass windows, original shutters, and the elegant covered entrance with terrazzo flooring immediately catch the eye. The listed villa is well-maintained and updated to meet modern standards and comfort. The location is ideal—adjacent to a park and close to all conceivable amenities. There is a choice of several primary and secondary schools, as well as a variety of sports facilities, including hockey, tennis, football, and horse riding. The Sytwendepark is just a stone’s throw away, offering a natural retreat for all ages. For shopping, you can visit the charming Damcentrum or the “Mall of the Netherlands.” Public transport connections are excellent, providing quick access to The Hague, Delft, Rotterdam, Zoetermeer, and Rijswijk. Both the RandstadRail station Leidschendam-Voorburg and several bus stops are within walking distance. The N14 motorway gives easy access to the A4, A44, and A12 highways, and Schiphol Airport can be reached in just 30 minutes. “...an ideal living environment…” Through the beautiful covered entrance with terrazzo flooring, you enter the front door into a vestibule adorned with a striking mural of the nearby park. A door with authentic stained glass leads into the hallway, featuring a cloakroom area, an elegant staircase, and access to the suite-style living room, kitchen, and WC. The high ceilings and stained-glass windows create an immediate sense of space and style. The front room is spacious and filled with natural light. A conservatory provides a cozy sense of enclosure. The oak parquet floor with border detailing adds a touch of elegance. The ceilings have been beautifully finished and renewed, and the large stained-glass windows with French doors open onto the garden, offering a serene view of this green oasis. Pivot doors separate the front room from the adjoining middle room, currently used as a dining area, which features an original wood-burning stove. Large French doors here also open to the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent to the dining room is the music/playroom—a delightful space connected to the kitchen, complete with a charming pellet stove. The partially original and beautifully restored kitchen has a popular country style, highlighted by the striking terrazzo floor. A Boretti gas cooker completes the setup, while the original cabinetry offers abundant storage. Additional storage and built-in appliances—including a steam oven, fridge, dishwasher, freezer, and microwave—are found in the adjoining utility room. Next to the utility room are the laundry facilities and access to the garden, where the Nefit central heating system is also located. Adjoining this space is the generous wine cellar. “...a villa offering endless possibilities…” The elegant staircase, illuminated by an Italian hand-blown Art Deco glass pendant, leads to the spacious first-floor landing. This area features charming sightlines, stained-glass windows, and high ceilings. On this floor, there are four bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate WC. The master bedroom (approx. 28 m²) is particularly generous, with a large built-in wardrobe and a decorative fireplace adding warmth and character. This room also has a private balcony. The bathroom includes a walk-in shower with infrared lighting and a washbasin with mirrored cabinet. The other bedrooms (approx. 12 m², 11 m², and 7 m²) each have their own charm—whether it’s a lovely view, a cozy fireplace, extra storage, or a private balcony. The smallest room is ideal as a nursery or home office. A fixed staircase leads to the second-floor landing, bathed in natural light from a large skylight. Built-in wardrobes provide ample storage. The two bedrooms on this level (approx. 16 m² and 13 m²) are well-proportioned and full of character. The second bathroom features a walk-in shower, washbasin unit, and wall-mounted toilet. Next to the villa stands the coach house. The apartment entrance (56 m²) is located on the side. Through the hall, a staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find an open kitchen with an L-shaped countertop, hob, sink, and fridge. The adjoining area includes a dining, sitting, and sleeping space. The separate bathroom offers a walk-in shower, washbasin, and toilet. The apartment is ideal as a guest residence, au pair accommodation, or home office/studio. On the ground floor of the coach house, there is a double garage and ample storage space (approx. 54 m²).
