Description
Very rarely does such a unique and historic object come on the market in Leiden. An excellently maintained house with a living area of approximately 445 m2 and a beautiful sunny west-facing garden.
The Hooglandse Kerkgracht is without a doubt one of the most beautiful streets in Leiden. Since its redevelopment in 2004, this former canal has almost no car traffic and is best known for the many monumental facades and the attractive central area where two beautiful rows of trees provide an almost Mediterranean atmosphere in the summer. A more beautiful location in the center of Leiden is hardly imaginable.
The appearance and layout of this beautiful house has hardly changed since the early 18th century. However, the house was extensively renovated around 1900 by the then resident (and architect) Leo van der Laan; His work includes the unique steel roof between the front and rear house with glass and rivets. And in 2013, the entire building was thoroughly renovated with the aim of making it more sustainable. For example, the entire roof has been renewed and insulated, the heating systems of the front and rear house have been separated, the gutters and drains have been renewed, etc. All windows and frames on the entire outside have recently been painted. In short, the property has retained much of its original character and is very well maintained.
The garden is perhaps the real 'unique selling point' of this property... a garden with several terraces and seating areas for shade and sun; a garden with a back entrance; a garden with beautiful mature trees, colourful shrubs and flowers and space for your own vegetable garden; and a garden with beautiful views to, for example, 'De Burcht' and the Hooglandse Kerk.
For a good impression of the layout and atmosphere of this unique object, we refer to the floor plans and the beautiful photos. A viewing is of course necessary for the real 'feel'.
