Kernstraat 92313 EV LeidenRijndijkbuurt

Unique, detached, and recently completely renovated home on the edge of the city center The true 'Leyenaars' will know it: Sunny Home. Until recently, this was the home of the famous writer Maarten Biesheuvel, where chickens and goats roamed freely. After purchasing the property, the current owners fully renovated the property under the watchful eye of Erfgoed Leiden. In doing so, the unique character has been completely preserved and combined with the living comfort of 2026. The spacious plot of over 400 m² offers the home a sheltered location with plenty of privacy. Surrounding the house in the green garden are various seating areas, flowerbeds, and a vegetable garden where the sun shines all day long: in the morning on the terrace at the back of the house, around midday on the seating area at the back of the garden, and later in the afternoon on the other terrace. You can always choose between the sun and the shade. Next to the house stands a detached and very spacious storage shed. This is divided into two sections, with the front part used for bicycles and garden equipment, and the rear part set up as a utility room, including a washing machine setup. The appearance, atmosphere, and location of this home offer a unique opportunity for anyone looking for a move-in ready and characteristic home, offering all the conveniences of city living combined with peace and privacy.
