Charming and move-in ready home on the edge of Leiden’s historic city centre!
Looking for a stylish, turnkey home in a prime location—close to the city centre, yet easily accessible? Tollensstraat 28 in Leiden is a property you simply can’t miss.
Situated in the highly desirable Haagweg-Noord neighbourhood (also known as Haagwegkwartier or Schrijversbuurt), this lovely home combines charm with convenience. The bustling heart of Leiden is only a few minutes’ bike ride away, while shops, supermarkets, schools, and local favourites such as Verboon—famous for their grilled sausages and fresh strawberries—are right around the corner. Commuting is effortless: Leiden Central Station, with direct connections to The Hague, Amsterdam, and Schiphol Airport, is just ten minutes away. Major motorways (A4 and A44) are also within easy reach.
Layout:
Ground floor:
Step into a welcoming hallway with an updated fuse box and a unique toilet finished with vintage pink tiles. The living room, fully renovated in 2021, boasts an insulated concrete floor with underfloor heating and a stylish herringbone PVC design, creating both warmth and elegance. Large sliding doors (2021) at the rear flood the room with light and open directly onto a private, north-east-facing courtyard.
The semi-open kitchen (2021) is a real showpiece, equipped with everything you need: an induction hob with grill plate, fridge, freezer, oven, dishwasher, and a Quooker tap for instant boiling water. The washing machine has also been smartly concealed here.
First floor:
The landing, featuring built-in storage, leads to three bedrooms. One of these is currently set up as a home office and includes a door to a potential roof terrace. The bathroom (2016) offers a modern finish with a walk-in shower, second toilet, and a sleek vanity unit (added in 2021). The spacious master bedroom at the front provides ample room for a large bed and wardrobe.
Attic:
A loft ladder leads to the attic, ideal for extra storage, where the central heating boiler (Remeha, 2010) is located.
