Do you dream of waking up with a view over the water, while the city slowly comes to life? Then this is your chance. This houseboat is located in an enviable spot on the Galgewater – one of the most sought-after locations in Leiden. Here, you're literally between the historic city center, the lively Haarlemmerstraat, and Central Station. Peace, buzz, and character all within reach. Wake up to the sound of gently rippling water, enjoy your morning coffee on your own deck, and watch the sun set behind the old city buildings in the evening – this is living with character. And the houseboat itself? It's simply yet functionally laid out, featuring a bright living room with open kitchen, a spacious bedroom, and a bathroom.
