'Distinctive Urban Living with a Sustainable Character' A home where the city is at your doorstep and its energy reaches into your living room? A residence with authentic character and understated charm? Morsweg 135 offers exactly that. This is a warm, inviting house that stands out – both literally and figuratively. Upon entry, you are immediately greeted by natural light, unique architectural features, and a thoughtfully structured layout. This is far from a standard property – it is a home with a story, a soul, and ample opportunity to make it your own. Prime Central Location Ideally situated within walking distance of Leiden Central Station and the historic city centre, this property offers easy access to an array of boutiques, cafés, restaurants, and cultural venues. Everyday conveniences, such as schools, grocery shops, gyms, and parks, are also close at hand. Despite its central location, the home provides a sense of tranquillity. Morsweg is known for its vibrant mix of architecture and residents, contributing to its unique urban appeal. You are truly living in the heart of the city, while enjoying the comfort and warmth of a private residence. Exterior and Entrance The upright and symmetrical façade of Morsweg 135 presents a striking first impression. Inside, the layout is both functional and attractive. The entrance hall features space for coats and leads to a charming living room with wooden flooring that immediately sets the tone. A large wood-burning fireplace serves as the focal point of this space – perfect for cozy evenings at home. The living room also includes a deep under-stair storage cupboard and connects seamlessly to the open-plan kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a dishwasher, combination oven, 5-burner gas hob, extractor hood, and a refrigerator-freezer. There is ample space for a large dining table with a view of the exceptionally deep rear garden. The indoor-outdoor transition is seamless, and for urban standards, the outdoor area is truly remarkable: mature trees, all-day sun exposure, multiple terrace levels, and enhanced privacy. Over recent years, great care has been taken to improve the landscaping, including the planting of diverse vegetation and the renewal of fencing and terraces. Ground Floor Bathroom Adjacent to the kitchen at the rear of the home is the bathroom – not upstairs, as commonly found, but located conveniently on the ground floor. This compact but well-designed space includes floor heating, a walk-in shower, towel radiator, sink, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. Large windows offer natural daylight and privacy due to the garden-facing position. The separate toilet is also located on this level. First Floor A staircase from the living room leads to a bright and well-proportioned landing. The primary bedroom, situated at the front, is bathed in natural light thanks to large windows that offer a view of the Morsweg and its surrounding architecture. This space is both comfortable and stylish, ideally suited as a master bedroom. Clever use of available space is evident in the centrally located walk-in wardrobe, which eliminates the need for large wardrobes in the bedrooms and allows for a more spacious layout. At the rear, a second bedroom offers a peaceful retreat with garden views and a welcoming atmosphere. Second Floor (Attic) The upper floor features a third bedroom, enhanced by a wide dormer at the rear. Far from feeling like an attic, this space is bright and functional, currently in use as a guest room but perfectly suitable as a home office, studio, or children’s room. Smart use of space under the eaves provides substantial storage behind knee walls. Unique Urban Privacy One of the most outstanding aspects of this property is the sense of peace and privacy it offers. With no direct rear neighbours and a deep garden bordered by tall trees, the setting is both tranquil and secluded – a rare luxury in the city. Throughout the home, light-filled rooms and timeless design create an environment that is both practical and inviting. Whether you plan to modernize the interior or enjoy its current charm, the house offers the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of lifestyles.
