Zuid-Holland, Leiden, Netherlands

Unique and exceptionally spacious villa in the heart of the sought-after Professorenwijk, set on a generous plot of no less than 907 m².

A home like this rarely comes on the market in Leiden. This villa offers a wide range of features that are each individually “nice to have,” but combined make this property truly a one of a kind. Let’s take a closer look:

• The Plot: In this part of Leiden — which ranks among the top 10 most desirable neighborhoods in the Netherlands — plots of this size are a true rarity. What’s more, there is no direct construction surrounding the property, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and freedom. The garden is designed so you can relax and enjoy the sun and peace on one of the terraces, while the children play soccer undisturbed!

• The Living Space: This home boasts a remarkable 309 m² of living space, including a fantastic garden house/guest residence of approximately 30 m², featuring a charming “hidden” box bed. The layout is ideal for family living, with a spacious living room, a family kitchen with a large utility room, and a study/playroom or extra bedroom on the ground floor. There are two toilets on the ground floor, one of which is part of the fourth bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find six well-sized bedrooms and three bathrooms.

• The Finish and Quality: After its purchase in 2013, the property was completely stripped and rebuilt, preserving the original character. The result is a successful blend of atmosphere, quality, and comfort. The photos speak for themselves!

• The Location: The Professorenwijk is located just south of Leiden’s historic city center and is known for its charming homes built between 1910 and 1930. The area is home to highly regarded schools, including the prestigious Stedelijk Gymnasium, consistently ranked among the top 10 in the Netherlands. A variety of sports clubs in the neighborhood foster both athletic and social opportunities for the whole family.

There are several local shops within walking distance, giving you convenient access to daily essentials. Major highways to Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam are easily accessible, and Lammenschans Station is just a 4-minute bike ride away. You can reach Schiphol Airport in 20 minutes by car, or Amsterdam in 30 minutes by public transport.

Oh yes… love boating? You can apply for a mooring permit on the Zoeterwoudsesingel, less than 100 meters from the house. From there, you can explore the city’s waterways or the expansive boating region of Kaag and Braassem.

In short: a fantastic family home offering space, comfort, and privacy in a prime location. Absolutely worth a visit.
