Zoeterwoudsesingel 172313 AZ LeidenTuinstadwijk

On the characteristic Zoeterwoudsesingel, this impressive municipal monument offers no less than 256 m² of living space. A townhouse with volume, high ceilings, and a nearly 20-metre-deep south-facing backyard. This is not a move-in-ready home, but a unique high-end property that you can completely renovate to suit your own taste and living requirements. A house with style and history, where original details and authentic elements are still tangibly present. Zoeterwoudsesingel is a place where urban vibrancy and distinctive architecture come together. You will live here on the edge of the lively city centre, with a park just around the corner for peace and greenery. Schools, shops, and sports facilities are all in the immediate vicinity. The centre of Leiden is within walking distance, and public transport and major roads are easily accessible. Ground floor Through the sheltered front garden, you reach the entrance via the charming front door. The hallway, featuring a marble floor, original ornamental plaster ceilings, and etched glass, immediately sets the tone. Here you will find the authentic washbasin, the stately staircase, and the toilet in monumental style with original tiles. From the hall there is access to a practical cellar space beneath the stairs. At the front of the house is a separate room, flexible in use as an office, study, cloakroom, or bedroom. The en-suite living room features high ceilings, sliding doors with cut glass, two chimneys (one with a fireplace), and a panga panga parquet floor. Large windows with secondary glazing provide pleasant natural light. At the rear, there is a conservatory extension that adds extra space and light. The ceiling contains remarkable, presumably original Italian artwork. Through the sliding doors, you can walk straight into the garden. The kitchen is located at the rear and features an original tiled floor. The space offers ample opportunities to create a contemporary open-plan kitchen. Garden The nearly 20-metre-deep south-facing backyard was originally designed by an architect. It features a large terrace, mature planting, and a detached wooden shed. The rear “lane” is jointly owned. First floor Via the stately staircase, you reach the first floor. Here you will find four spacious rooms, most with built-in cupboards. One of the rooms provides access to a generous rear balcony. The bathroom is simply fitted and includes a bathtub, washbasin unit, and a second toilet. The layout lends itself well to reconfiguration, for example into a spacious master suite with en-suite bathroom or additional work/children’s rooms. Attic floor The attic is impressive due to its high roof structure and exposed wooden trusses. A floor full of character and potential. Currently, there are two bedrooms and a shower/laundry room. Given the generous size of the attic, it can easily be adapted to personal wishes. There is also a loft space for additional storage.
