This delightful little home is located on Houtmarkt, a wide canal where, in past times, wood was brought into the city by boat. With the spacious layout of the house (3 windows on the first floor), you’ll enjoy a beautiful, unobstructed view of the water of the Oude Herengracht from the house. The house is cozy, to say the least. Due to its playful construction and 'overbuild,' the house's footprint is about 16m², but thanks to the overbuild (see floor plans), the total living area is an impressive 47m². This gives you an amazing view and plenty of natural light through the large windows on the first floor, making it a wonderfully private spot to relax and enjoy. The house also retains some beautiful features from its 19th-century construction, like the high beam ceilings, giving it a very characterful and charming vibe. Situated by the Oude Herengracht, around the corner from Huigpark, right along the Singelpark route, and with the charming terraces and restaurants of the Haven (Lot & de Walvis) just across the canal, you’re only a short walk from shopping streets, making this the perfect spot to enjoy everything Leiden has to offer. The house was tastefully renovated in 2012, 2015, and 2022, with the bathroom, living room, and kitchen fully updated. It also features double glazing and a brand-new, easy-to-climb staircase. You get the charm of an old house, but with all the comforts of modern living! The layout is as follows: Ground floor: Entrance to the house. On this floor, you’ll find the hallway, a separate space for the washing machine and dryer, and the meter cupboard, which was renovated in 2015 along with the new central heating system (installed in 2022). Also on this floor is the stylishly renovated bathroom from 2012, complete with shower and toilet. First floor: Take the stairs to the cozy living room, with wooden floors and no less than 3 large windows overlooking the canal. A beautiful spot with views of the water, and in summer, you can watch the boats and sloops sailing by. The kitchen, also renovated in 2015, is equipped with a fridge/freezer combo, combi oven, induction cooktop, and extractor fan. Second floor: Upstairs, you’ll find the charming sleeping loft. It has two large Velux windows with double glazing, letting in plenty of natural light.
