Decimastraat 352315 HJ LeidenDe Kooi

Within walking distance of the city centre of Leiden, in a quiet side street off the Lage Rijndijk, you will find this spacious family home dating from the early 20th century. The property is considerably larger than many other homes within the same price range and construction period. The living room alone offers approximately 50 m² of living space. On the first floor there are three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The rear garden, with a depth of 12.5 metres, is another major advantage of this property. One of the greatest strengths of this home is the combination of peace and liveliness. The street itself is remarkably quiet, while the atmosphere and energy of the historic city centre can be reached within just a five-minute walk. The centre of Leiden is only a few minutes away on foot, and Leiden Centraal Station can be reached within 10 minutes by bicycle. The Zijlpoort is also nearby, where you can begin a walk through the Singelpark or enjoy a drink on a terrace during the summer months. The street is home to many young families and, thanks to the presence of various parks, playgrounds and amenities such as supermarkets, shops, schools, childcare facilities, a library and a community centre, this is a wonderful place to live.
