Description
'Living with a Spectacular View'
Some homes embrace you the moment you walk in – and Kanaalweg 138 is one of them.?Offering over 150 m² of generous living space, this apartment is filled with natural light thanks to large windows, and boasts serene, green views that feel more like a park than city living. Spacious, comfortable, and finished with a touch of luxury.
Upon entering, the sense of space is immediate: a wide entrance hall, expansive living area, large windows, and a layout designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Situated in a well-maintained 1990s building with elevator access and a thoughtful floor plan, this apartment offers exceptional comfort and accessibility. Ideal for those who prefer single-level living without compromising on space or style.
Located just outside the historic center of Leiden, Kanaalweg is a leafy avenue that combines peace and privacy with proximity to shops, restaurants, and cultural venues – all within minutes. This home is more than a practical choice – it’s a residence with personality. For those who value space, appreciate comfort, and enjoy a touch of elegance.
