Hugo de Grootstraat 1232311 XK LeidenVreewijk

Characterful living in a former university building, offering the tranquility of a courtyard setting and the vibrancy of the city just around the corner! Housed within this landmark building is a surprisingly spacious maisonette featuring a unique layout, two bedrooms, a private balcony, a mezzanine level, and a dedicated parking space. Once part of Leiden University’s Faculty of Law, the building was redeveloped in 2007—with a keen eye for detail and quality—into a stylish apartment complex comprising 51 unique residences. This apartment is situated in the former lecture hall, boasting magnificent high ceilings and large windows. The second floor houses the entrance, a hallway with a wall of built-in closets, a separate toilet, and an inviting living room featuring a ceiling over six meters high and beautiful oak flooring. The semi-open kitchen flows seamlessly from the living area and is equipped with a dishwasher, a 5-burner gas hob, an extractor hood, an oven, and a fridge-freezer. The windows are fitted with solar control film and internal blinds. The third floor features a spacious mezzanine, two bedrooms, and a well-maintained bathroom with a large shower, washbasin, and heated towel rail. One of the bedrooms provides access to an east-facing covered balcony—a delightful spot to enjoy the peace and quiet of the inner courtyard garden. Additionally, there is access to a practical attic space, ideal for extra storage. A private storage unit is located in the basement. The complex has an elevator, although the apartment itself is not entirely single-level. Its location in the charming Vreewijk neighborhood is exceptional: offering quiet, characterful living while keeping Leiden’s historic city center—along with shops, restaurants, and cafés—within walking distance. The Singelpark and various other amenities are also close by. The shared courtyard garden offers a pleasant spot to unwind and contributes to the complex's inviting, almost courtyard-like atmosphere. The combination of the listed building's distinctive charm, the playful maisonette layout, the green courtyard, and the central location makes this a truly wonderful place to live.
