Townhouse Leiden with deep south west garden invites a sense of architectural dignity a stone’s throw from the city’s historic heart. This residence traces its provenance to the late nineteenth century when grand homes emerged along the city’s edge, balancing proximity to Leiden’s cultural core and the restorative qualities of outdoor space.
Behind its facade, the home preserves the elegance of its era: high ceilings, tall windows, generous detailing in façades, stucco, staircases, and doors. Upon entry, a marble hall with lofted ceilings and stately stairs mediates a calming transition from city pace to interior quiet. The classic living room, with original ensuite doors and ornamental ceilings, opens to a luminous eat-in area and a garden-facing conservatory. Eight bedrooms unfold across the first and second floors, with a study, walk-in closet, and flexible guest or work spaces, accommodating family living or home working.
Outside, the deep rear garden faces south west, ensuring ample sunlight yet offering shaded views from mature trees. Beyond lies a private, 1,318 m² enclosed lot, shared among neighbors, with space for children’s play, gathering, and water access. Essential amenities, schools, transit, green parks, and urban offerings lie nearby. This townhouse, a registered municipal monument, carries period character, partial double glazing, central heating, and inclusion in a residents’ association.
