Description
Beautifully renovated (2019), ready to move-in, bright townhouse (built in 1986, energy label C) with a back garden, rear access, shared courtyard, and separate (bicycle) storage in a prime location with many layout options!
This fully renovated, luxurious townhouse is located on a quiet street in the center of Leiden, just around the corner from the green park "het Plantsoen." The house features a spacious living/dining room, a modern open-plan U-shaped kitchen (2019) with luxury built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, Quooker tap, refrigerator, dishwasher, and combination oven (2025, back garden (approx. 16 m²), (bicycle) storage (approx. 5 m²), plastered walls and ceilings, three bedrooms (expandable into four bedrooms), and a modern bathroom. The living area is 91 m² and the plot size is 44 m².
The property's location is unique in many ways. Firstly, it's just around the corner from the peaceful, green surroundings of "Het Plantsoen" (the oldest public city park, built between 1835 and 1842, in Leiden's city center. Since November 1997, Het Plantsoen, along with its stately mansions, has been a municipal monument and is popularly known as "Leiden's Gold Coast") and the Singel canal. Local traffic is the only traffic in the street. Secondly, the property is situated within the canals, and therefore within Leiden's vibrant historic city center. You get the best of both worlds. You'll find restaurants, cafés, shops, and a wide range of cultural offerings within walking distance. You can reach one of the two NS train stations in five minutes, and major highways are easily accessible by car; the A4 and A44 motorways provide quick access to The Hague, Rotterdam, Schiphol Airport, and Amsterdam.
Leiden's historic city center is the second-largest in the Netherlands and is known for its rich history, featuring old canals, city gates, no fewer than 88 bridges, windmills, narrow alleyways, courtyards, a castle, Singelpark, museums, and much more. Here, you'll find all sorts of urban amenities in a compact area. And did you know that Leiden, after Amsterdam, has the most water flowing within its gates: a total of 28 kilometers of canals and moats? It's no wonder Leiden was ranked third among the most attractive cities to live in (Source: annual "Atlas for Municipalities" survey by research agency Atlas Research, May 2023).
