President Steinstraat 222312 ZS LeidenTransvaalbuurt

Cozy ground-floor apartment for sale, near the heart of Leiden's city center! This ground-floor apartment is located in the popular Transvaal neighborhood, an area with a rich history and character. Once a place where life unfolded outdoors, with women chopping beans for the Nieuwenhuizen canned food factory and men working there. The blocks of houses in the area were originally built for the factory workers. Despite the poverty, the neighborhood was filled with hard work and a strong sense of community. The nickname 'Hakbijlenbuurt' is a reminder of this time, evoking images of solidarity. Today, the neighborhood is popular with first-time buyers due to its cozy atmosphere, proximity to the historic center, and easy access to amenities. Here, past and present come together – just like in this charming home. The apartment offers 47m² of living space, a spacious bedroom, a cozy living room with a semi-open kitchen, and a large bathroom. There is also extra storage space in the hallway, making it an ideal spot to store your belongings. The lovely garden, facing south, is a great place to enjoy the outdoors. The property is part of an active homeowners association, with a monthly contribution of €214.50. President Steinstraat is just a 5-minute walk from Breestraat and Haarlemmerstraat, the main shopping streets of Leiden.
