Jan van Goyenkade 232311 BA LeidenVreewijk

The most beautiful house in Leiden! Or at least one of the most beautiful that has recently come up for sale. It is not without reason that the area has been designated as a protected cityscape and this house stands out even more with all the beautiful and original details: richly ornamented stucco ceilings, original stained glass in the skylights (the only one still in the street), panel doors. , conservatory with stained glass windows, beautiful parquet floors and staircase. It's surprising that it is not a monument, but take advantage of this: splendor and splendor from the 19th century, but more freedom to adapt it to personal taste and, above all, make it more sustainable. Although, there is already double glazing everywhere and the hood has just been insulated. The district is known for its stately homes and (former) university buildings that were built as cathedrals of science and determine the street scene. This has ensured that there is a nice mix of students, professors and families with the associated dynamics. In front of the door, the water of the Vliet flows steadily towards the canal with the occasional rowing boat or sloop passing by. That was different here when in 1574 the Beggars entered the besieged city with herring and white bread. Further on there are some student houses, which provide a lot of fun on the street in the summer. But fortunately they are a little further away, so there is no inconvenience. You will mainly find families on this part of the quay. The layout of the house with the deep garden, 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms is ideal for the family. However, the recently completely renovated attic offers many more possibilities: au pair, resident parent and studio are just a few that we can name. Around the corner are the Doezastraat and Herenstraat with a bakery, butcher, greengrocer and fishmonger.
