Oude Vest 932312 XT LeidenMarewijk

Living in a unique spot in the heart of Leiden, right by the canal Located at Oude Vest 93 is this characterful terraced house dating back to around 1750: a property boasting a beautiful location and, above all, immense potential. The house has been in the same family for the past 100 years, but is now on the market for the first time in a century! With approximately 100.5 m² of living space, a spacious internal area of around 62.6 m² on the ground floor, and a roof terrace of about 19 m², the property offers a wealth of possibilities. While the house requires renovation, this presents the perfect opportunity to create a unique home tailored entirely to the new owner's wishes. The floor plans clearly illustrate the generous amount of space available and the various options for reconfiguring the layout during renovation. Its waterfront location in the historic city center makes this a truly rare find. Originally built around 1750, the house features the classic layout of a traditional Leiden townhome. The ground floor currently houses a large garage, alongside the entrance, a hallway, a storage room, and a closet. The garage is exceptionally spacious; beyond its current use, it offers interesting possibilities for reconfiguring the ground floor and (subject to the necessary permits and approvals) incorporating the space into the main living area. The first floor currently serves as the primary living level, featuring a spacious living room and a separate kitchen. The kitchen provides access to the generous terrace at the rear. A large, open-plan bedroom is located on the second floor. While the property requires modernization and renovation, the combination of space, the canal-side location, and the building's potential makes this an intriguing prospect for anyone looking for something far beyond the standard home. The Oude Vest is situated in the heart of Leiden’s historic city center. Here, you live amidst canals, listed historic buildings, shops, restaurants, cafés, and cultural amenities. Leiden’s city center boasts nearly 2,800 historic monuments, effectively forming one vast open-air museum. From the property, you can easily walk to landmarks such as De Burcht, Museum De Lakenhal, and the Pieterskerk, as well as the city's charming shopping streets. The Singelpark—a 6.3-kilometer green route along the historic canals encircling the city center—is also nearby. For sports and leisure, there are various facilities in and around the city, including municipal sports complexes and the sports programs offered by Leiden University. The location also offers excellent accessibility; Leiden Central Station is approximately 1.1 kilometers away, providing direct train connections to cities such as Amsterdam, The Hague, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. By car, the A4 and A44 motorways are quickly accessible. LAYOUT Ground floor You enter the ground floor into a hallway that provides access to the very spacious garage.
