Spacious and Characteristic Double-Upper Apartment in the Heart of Leiden Are you looking for a home with character, space, and the opportunity to modernise it entirely to your own taste? This generous double upper apartment at Van der Werfstraat 3E in Leiden offers exactly that. With a living area of 117 m², high ceilings, a sunny roof terrace, and an authentic appearance, this is a fantastic opportunity for anyone seeking a unique city apartment. The property is located within Leiden’s historic canals, in a prime location close to all amenities and the vibrant city life. This apartment forms part of a recently subdivided building. The current owner has already carried out several important works, including post-insulation of the roof structure and interior and exterior painting of the façade window frames. Internally, however, the property is a renovation project that still requires full modernisation. An ideal opportunity to design and finish the apartment entirely to your own wishes. Layout Ground Floor: The entrance is equipped with a doorbell panel and mailboxes. Upon entering the apartment complex, you will find the staircase leading to the apartments and the meter cupboards. First Floor: Via the communal entrance and staircase, you reach the apartment on the first living floor. Here you enter a spacious storage room that provides access to the enclosed kitchen, fitted with various built-in appliances. From the kitchen you reach the hallway, which includes a separate toilet and gives access to the bright and generous living room. Large windows provide plenty of natural light and offer beautiful views over the historic city centre. The living room features high ceilings and charming details that enhance the authentic character of the property. Second Floor: On the top floor there are two spacious bedrooms, both with ample natural light and fitted with large built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is equipped with a washbasin and a bathtub, but can be fully modernised to your own taste. A roof window provides additional ventilation. Attic The attic is currently accessible via a hatch. The ridge height is such that it is technically possible to create a full additional living floor here, significantly increasing the living area. The space is ideally suited for the creation of two bedrooms, at both the front and rear of the property. To realise this extension, a fixed staircase will need to be installed and daylight access created, for example by installing roof windows or dormers. As the central heating installation is already located in the attic, it is easy to provide heating on this level. It is also possible to create an additional roof terrace. See the lastest attached photo for an illustration. Outdoor Space: The roof terrace is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy city living. Here you can sit outside in peace with a cup of coffee or a good book.
