Lorentzkade 212313 GB LeidenProfessorenwijk-West

Living with a view! This authentic national monument is nestled in one of the most beautiful spots (if not the most beautiful) in the Professorenwijk district, surrounded by greenery. Both the location and the view are truly unique. At the front lies the Lorentzkade with the rippling waters of the Stadsmolensloot, which, with its wide grassy strips and tall trees, forms the green artery of the Professorenwijk district. A beautiful view in itself that you can enjoy if you live on this street, but what makes this house unique is the extra unobstructed view over the water of the Cronesteynkade, almost all the way to the Singel. Will you soon be mooring your own little boat right outside? In the backyard, you'll especially appreciate the sheltered location with plenty of privacy. There are no direct rear neighbors, and thanks to its southwest-facing location, you can enjoy it year-round, with the towers of St. Peter's Church and the Rectory in the background providing a beautiful backdrop for a warm late-summer BBQ. The house has been designed with great attention to detail and in the typical 1930s style. The architect opted for a layout with the interlocking staircases typical of the neighborhood. This creates a wide hallway and especially spacious living rooms and bedrooms. The listed building status has ensured that many of the original details and layout have been preserved, while the kitchen, bathrooms, and toilets have a modern look. For comfort, the roof is already insulated, and most of the windows are double-glazed. The neighborhood is very popular with families, and for good reason: (international) schools, sports clubs, a train station, and highway access roads offer all the conditions for smoothly combining work, relaxation, and family life. And all this just a few minutes' walk, bike ride, or boat ride from Leiden's vibrant historic center! LAYOUT Ground floor Entrance with meter cupboard and coat closet.
