Between history and liveliness lies your own urban oasis: a charming corner house with a sunny garden and a view of the Pieterskerk. Perfectly maintained, surprisingly spacious—and in one of the most beautiful spots in Leiden. City lovers take note—live in historic Leiden with a sun-drenched garden! In one of the most beautiful spots in Leiden, close to Pieterskerk and Rapenburg, stands this charming and characteristic corner house with a deep, sunny garden and a beautiful view of the imposing Pieterskerk. An oasis of peace and space, right in the bustling heart of the city! The house exudes history – built around 1650 – but offers all modern conveniences thanks to a thorough renovation in 2005. During this renovation, the electrical system, window frames, and roof were replaced, the walls were plastered, and the ground floor was fitted with underfloor heating. The result is a comfortable, well-maintained home in which authenticity and contemporary living comfort come together seamlessly. With a living area of 105 m², this house offers a surprising amount of space and flexibility. Thanks to the current layout, there are various possibilities, for example for double occupancy or as a granny flat. The house has a modern kitchen with French doors to the garden, two bathrooms, a bright living room, a sitting room/bedroom on the ground floor, and a second bedroom on the top floor. The garden, which is no less than 17 meters deep, faces west, allowing you to enjoy the sun all day long. The view of the historic buildings surrounding it makes this a unique place to relax. The garden is beautifully landscaped with green borders, two canopies, a side entrance, and plenty of privacy—a rare find in Leiden's city center!
