No hustle and bustle here—just a streetscape that radiates calm. 1930s architecture with character, mature trees, and open sightlines. The kind of street where people tend to stay for a long time—which is certainly the case for number 26. A home that has been lovingly lived in, but now calls for a great deal of care, vision, and new residents who can restore every room to its former glory. This characterful townhouse from 1938, with over 150 m² of living space (excluding the attic), sits on a remarkably spacious 273 m² plot in a location where everything just feels right. At the front, you enjoy unobstructed views of greenery and authentic buildings. Inside, you can still see the outlines of what it once was—and what it can become again. High ceilings, a classic layout, and deep sightlines toward the garden, where a surprisingly large green oasis awaits with mature planting and exceptional depth rarely found in the city. This is not a move-in-ready home. This is a home for someone who wants to create. The entrance, beyond the front garden, offers a warm welcome. A long hallway with a staircase to the first floor, original panel doors, a terrazzo floor hidden beneath the current flooring, and a layout typical of its era. You can see that this home has been lived in as it was for many years and is now ready for a new chapter. The ground floor consists of an elongated living room with a fireplace, a separate kitchen, a toilet with washbasin, and a practical storage cupboard under the stairs. At the rear, the living room opens directly onto the garden through French doors. Here, the potential becomes immediately clear: abundant daylight, greenery close by, and a peaceful, sheltered terrace. The living space is deep and linear, with a classic layout and a natural flow between the sitting area at the front and the dining area at the rear—exactly as these homes were originally designed and still perfectly suited to modern living. At the front is the sitting room with views of greenery and the characteristic street. Toward the rear, the space opens into the dining area with different light conditions and an even stronger connection to the outdoors. The current finishes are simple and dated, but the foundation is strong, offering endless possibilities. A renovation could introduce an en-suite layout or an extension with an open-plan kitchen and island, transforming the space into a spacious, modern kitchen-living area. The backyard is, without exaggeration, one of the strongest features of this home. Deep—exceptionally deep. What begins as a standard garden with a terrace and shed unfolds into a green, park-like space with varied levels and surprising corners. There is room for multiple terraces, a children’s play area, a vegetable garden, or a sleek landscaped design. At the back, there is ample space for a large garden house, studio, or home office. The rear access makes it practical and easily reachable. With thoughtful design, this can become a truly remarkable outdoor space—an extension of the home itself. On the first floor, the pleasant layout continues with multiple rooms, each with its own dimensions and light. The front room is perhaps the most beautiful, featuring a bay window with wide views over greenery and characteristic buildings. There is a built-in closet and a sink. The smaller adjacent room with sliding door is ideal as a nursery or walk-in closet. At the rear is another spacious room with a balcony overlooking the deep garden—quiet, green, and private. The bathroom is functional but dated and can be redesigned into a comfortable modern space. The top floor is equally impressive. What might seem like a typical attic turns out to be another surprising living level, with no fewer than four bedrooms under the roof. Combined with the first floor, this brings the total to seven bedrooms—ideal for large families, an au pair, or working from home. The rooms feature sloping ceilings, dormer windows, built-in storage, sinks, and beautiful views at both the front and rear. With smart redesign and possibly additional dormers, this floor can be transformed into bright, comfortable living spaces. A storage loft is accessible via a ladder, offering extra storage or the potential to open up the roof structure for added spaciousness. Cronesteinkade is located in a distinctive part of Leiden known for its 1930s architecture, wide streets, and mature greenery. It is calm but not silent, lively but never crowded—the perfect balance for comfortable city living. The area is popular with families due to its proximity to good schools, childcare, and sports facilities. Shops are nearby, and the city center—with its canals, museums, theaters, and restaurants—is just a short bike ride away. At the same time, major roads provide quick access to The Hague, Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Schiphol Airport.
