Description
Unique living on the canal in the heart of Delft - Monumental luxury behind a special, unique façade
On Voorstraat, in the heart of Delft's historic center, behind the characteristic facade of the former Bousquet soap factory lies an exceptional canal-side property. Behind the two imposing, monumental doors—once the entrance to the office and factory—lies a spacious, stylish, and attractive home of over 240 m².
The house was thoroughly restored in 2006/2007 at the same time as the soap factory and, in 2012, was converted into a luxury canal house with an eye for detail and under architectural supervision. Authentic elements have been tastefully preserved and combined with high-quality materials and modern living comfort.
A rare opportunity for those who want to live in a spacious, characteristic, and stylish home in one of the most beautiful locations in Delft.
Highlights:
- Living area of 242 m²;
- Monumental facade and various original details;
- Spacious roof terrace of over 30 m² with complete privacy;
- Deep living room of approximately 120 m² with almost 4-meter-high ceilings;
- Located on the canal in the protected cityscape and a national monument;
The layout is as follows:
Ground floor
Behind the stately façade is an impressive entrance hall with original terrazzo flooring, Delft tile paneling, and the former factory counter. The hall provides access to a modern toilet, a spacious, very practical storage room, and a beautifully finished staircase to the first floor.
Despite its loft-like character, the spacious living room can be divided into three different zones and features a sleek cast floor with underfloor heating, a beautiful beamed ceiling, and, above all, atmosphere.
Layout of the living room:
On the canal side, a spacious workspace (currently with room for a grand piano);
Centrally: luxurious custom-made kitchen island with built-in appliances and space for a large dining table;
At the rear: cozy sitting area with built-in fireplace and custom-made wall cabinet across the full width of the rear facade
French doors provide access to a small outdoor area, allowing for extra daylight.
First floor:
The open staircase in the living room leads to the first floor. Here you will find the professionally landscaped roof terrace (approx. 33 m²) with beautiful flower beds, complete privacy, and sun and shade throughout the day.
- Spacious master bedroom with a view of the beautiful original roof trusses and the terrace;
- Open bathroom with double sink, double walk-in shower, and luxurious built-in cabinets;
- Second bedroom with built-in loft bed and dormer window;
- Second bathroom with bathtub, sink, and skylight;
- Separate toilet room with wall-mounted toilet and washbasin;
- Second landing with built-in cupboard space for washing machine and dryer;
- Third bedroom;
The third bedroom is located in the former executive office at the front and is now used as a bedroom.
It has large windows and a view of the canal. This room can easily be divided into two separate bedrooms if desired. The attic floor is accessible via a fixed staircase.
Second (attic) floor:
Here you will find a fourth bedroom on the mezzanine and a deep storage space with the central heating combi boiler.
Special features/characteristics:

- Thorough renovation (2006/2007) and remodeling (2012) under architectural supervision;
