Charming "Townhouse" in the heart of Leiden!
Located on the charming and car-free Raamstraat, right on the edge of Leiden’s historic city center, this well-maintained city home from 1910 is full of character. It combines period charm with a practical layout and an abundance of natural light and space. Raamstraat is a delightful place to live quiet, friendly, and full of charm. Perfect for those looking for tranquility, atmosphere, and a central location in the city.
Upon entering, you're immediately struck by the bright and airy feel of the spacious living room that runs from the front to the back of the house. At the rear, you’ll find a functional kitchen with direct access to the patio, a private outdoor space where you can enjoy your coffee or a good book in the sun.
The first floor is full of character, thanks to exposed wooden beams and a charming dormer window. Here you'll find two generously sized bedrooms and a neat bathroom. The rear bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and access to a sunny rooftop terrace—a wonderful spot to enjoy the outdoors. The front bedroom features a custom-made built-in closet, ideal for storing clothing and linens.
Raamstraat has the peaceful vibe of a hidden courtyard, yet everything is within easy reach. Cozy cafés, shops, supermarkets, and the vibrant heart of Leiden are just a stone’s throw away. Leiden Central Station is within walking distance, as are the scenic Singelpark and various museums. The street itself boasts a rich history and is part of one of the oldest parts of the city, once home to artisans and merchants.
