Plantsoen 752311 KK LeidenLevendaal-Oost

Plantsoen 75, Leiden FOR SALE: imposing monumental villa situated in one of the most beautiful locations in Leiden! Most residents of Leiden are familiar with this imposing monumental house on the Plantsoen because it is the only house on the Plantsoen with a fully-fledged garden next to the house. When the first building plots on the Plantsoen were auctioned in 1881, the conditions stated that the house had to be delivered within two years; unless the purchaser bought two contiguous plots, in which case an exemption applied to the second plot. No. 75 is now the only residential house where that second plot has always remained undeveloped. The Plantsoen is perhaps the most attractive city park in Leiden. The park was laid out between 1835 and 1842 and is beautifully situated beside the Zoeterwoudsesingel, where it is splendid to relax on the lawns along the waterfront in summer. The park is also an important part of Leiden's new and very popular 'Singelpark'. Right around the corner from this property is the lively and historic centre of Leiden with its attractive shops, markets, terraces, restaurants, university and museums. You are also quickly on your way to Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht or The Hague via the arterial roads. This beautiful, distinctive townhouse (municipal monument) boasts a number of highly attractive features, including: - a beautiful and sunny side garden of over 150 m2 with unobstructed views of the park and the water - a strip of private land at the rear (4th Binnenvestgracht) with entrance at the rear - a spacious living area of over 323 m2, divided over 4 floors - parking via parking permit zone A, costs € 48,- per quarter. It is also possible (depending on the permit) to park on site - the house has a full basement with normal light access. This is (after renovation) suitable for many purposes such as a home office. Accommodation: The steps with raised covered porch lead to the double entrance door. On entering, the vestibule is spacious and bright and, like the hallway, has an original marble floor. The hallway gives access to several rooms such as the toilet, the living room and the kitchen.
