Charming mid-terrace Home with deep garden in a unique location near Leiden city centre At the quiet end of a dead-end street, just a few minutes' walk from the historic centre of Leiden, you'll find this charming and well-maintained mid-terrace house at Van Galenstraat 18. The property is in excellent condition, having been freshly painted in 2022, and features wooden window frames with double glazing throughout. Situated in a peaceful yet central part of the city, the home offers a comfortable layout, plenty of natural light, and a surprisingly deep rear garden. You’ll enjoy a calm living environment while having all amenities—shops, schools, restaurants, public transport, and major roads—within easy reach. Layout: Ground floor: Upon entering, you are welcomed into a hallway with a meter cupboard and coat space, leading into the bright and spacious through-living room. This inviting space boasts a beautiful oak parquet floor, a characterful fireplace, and French doors opening out to the garden, creating a lovely indoor-outdoor flow. Beneath the staircase is a floating toilet with an adjacent storage cupboard. The kitchen is located in the rear extension and features an L-shaped layout, equipped with a 4-burner gas hob, oven, and extractor fan. The kitchen also provides access to the garden. The rear garden measures over 11 metres in length and faces north, but thanks to its open surroundings, it enjoys sunlight throughout the day. At the far end of the garden is a generously sized brick storage shed—perfect for bicycles, garden tools, or use as a workshop or hobby space. First floor: Accessible via a small hallway from the ground floor, the first floor opens onto a spacious landing with a built-in cupboard and a door leading to the rooftop terrace. At the front of the house is the large master bedroom, which spans the full width of the property and includes a built-in wardrobe. The centrally located bathroom features a shower, vanity unit, designer radiator, and a second toilet (sanibroyeur). At the rear is the second bedroom, currently used as a guest or study room. This floor also includes a storage cupboard housing the central heating boiler (2007) and the washing machine connection. The entire floor is neatly finished with laminate flooring. A major bonus is the rooftop terrace, which not only provides private outdoor space but also offers potential for expansion. With the appropriate permit, an additional floor could be added, significantly increasing future living comfort. This delightful home perfectly combines the charm of a well-kept property with the vibrancy of living close to the heart of Leiden. With a deep garden, rooftop terrace, and extension possibilities, it’s the ideal spot for anyone seeking a peaceful yet city-close lifestyle. From the sellers: We have lived in this house for over 10 years with great pleasure. We were immediately drawn to the beautiful light and the quiet street, just around the corner from the lively city centre. Now we’re ready for the next step, moving to a slightly larger place. We're staying close to Leiden—we couldn't imagine being without the city. We're happy to pass our home on to someone who will hopefully love it just as much as we did.
