Description
Enjoy picturesque views and the lapping water every day!
This classic 17th-century canal house with stepped gable and monumental details is located in the heart of Leiden's city center. On this stretch of canal, you can enjoy the peace and quiet and the beautiful view over the wide water of the canal and the distant view over the Mare every day.
Many classic elements have been preserved, including high beamed ceilings, the Leiden gable roof, and part of the original spiral staircase. In the 19th century, a number of beautiful stylistic elements were added, including the wide staircase on the ground floor, giving the house its character. In the past, the rear part of the house was used as servants' quarters, with a so-called 'maid's room' above the current kitchen. The porcelain wall tiles are a reminder of this.
The last residents have significantly increased the comfort of the house with a major renovation, replacing all the electrical wiring, installing underfloor heating on the ground floor, and fitting almost all the windows with secondary glazing. A roof terrace has also been added, a pleasant place to enjoy the sunshine in peace.
In short: a beautiful historic building in a quiet location with shops, museums, and entertainment venues literally around the corner!
