Oude Vest 532312 XS LeidenDe Camp

Enjoy a picturesque view and the rippling water every day! This classic 17th-century canal house with a stepped gable and monumental details is located in the heart of Leiden's city center. On this stretch of canal, you can enjoy the tranquility and the beautiful view of the wide canal and the panoramic view of the river Mare every day. Many classic elements have been preserved, including high beamed ceilings, the typical Leiden rafter roof, and part of the original spiral staircase. Several beautiful style elements were added in the 19th century, including the wide landing staircase on the ground floor, making this a house with character. The rear of the house was formerly used as a servant's residence, with a so-called "maid's room" above the current kitchen. The porcelain wall tiles are a reminder of this. The last residents significantly enhanced the comfort of the home with a major renovation, replacing all electrical wiring, installing underfloor heating on the ground floor, and fitting secondary glazing to almost all windows. A roof terrace has also been created, a pleasant place to quietly enjoy the sunshine. In short: a beautiful historic building in a quiet location with shops, museums, and entertainment venues literally around the corner!
