Unique and very charming monumental top-floor apartment with a large roof terrace in the historic heart of Leiden
This beautiful and surprising canal house is situated on the Nieuwe Rijn, in the vibrant heart of Leiden. A unique place to live with plenty of space and character. And all just a stone's throw from everything that makes city living so appealing: charming shops, the weekly market, terraces, restaurants, museums, and theaters.
This classic property (Rijksmonument) offers a living area of ??no less than 181 m² plus a roof terrace of approximately 75 m² and combines historic allure with contemporary comfort. The house is well-maintained and largely equipped with double glazing and roof insulation, ensuring a pleasant living environment year-round. A building inspection report is available.
What also makes this property unique is the remarkable combination of a stately, classic façade on the canal side (three windows wide, facing south) and a surprisingly spacious rear garden of over nine meters. On the first floor, at the heart of the house, lies a colorful courtyard garden, and a dozen steps up, a spacious and sunny roof terrace with plenty of privacy and several seating areas.
