Description
"What a great location, so close to the center and everything you need."
The Groenhazengracht is a household name in Leiden. But do you know where the name comes from? In the Middle Ages, the Groenhazengracht neighborhood was popularly called the 'buttock'. There was a brothel here and the women were also called 'hares'. One of these women was nicknamed Groen Haasje and this part of Leiden owes its name to the brothel and its former resident.
There is a gate on this canal that opens into a courtyard behind the Rapenburg. The apartment that we have for sale is located in this courtyard in the middle of the popular academy district. This apartment is very conveniently located in relation to the historic center of Leiden with its many monumental buildings. When you walk out the front door of the apartment you feel history coming towards you. You walk under the gate onto the Groenhazengracht with the risk of being absorbed in the conviviality of boats sailing by. If you rely on public transport, it is very close by. In addition, this apartment is within walking distance of several bustling shopping streets with a diverse range of shops such as Breestraat, Aalmarkt and Stille Rijn.
As the current resident said: "With pain in my heart, I have to leave this historic part of Leiden. If it had been up to me, I would never have left here."
The layout is as follows:
Ground floor:
If you step through the 2 large green doors from the courtyard, you enter the entrance with the stairs to the apartment on the left. Right from the landing you will find the front door.
1st floor:
When you enter through the front door you enter a spacious hall with high ceilings. If you walk straight ahead you can enter the bright living room through the hall. On the right side there is a lovely balcony. You can enter the kitchen/diner through a door in the living room.
2nd floor:
If you take the stairs upstairs you will reach a landing. To the right of the landing is the large, bright bedroom. The bathroom with shower cabin, bath and toilet is also on the right. On the left side of the landing there are 2 bedrooms. There is a laundry room behind the landing. There is also a staircase on the landing to the attic. The attic is spacious enough to even create 2 bedrooms.
This beautiful apartment is part of the building located at Rapenburg 27.
