Description
Situated on the stately Rapenburg canal, in the heart of Leiden's historic center, lies Rapenburg 27D, a characterful apartment in a historic building dating from 1728. As soon as you step through the authentic front door, you sense the history: high ceilings, classic details, and a tranquil atmosphere rarely found in the city center.
The Rapenburg location is truly unique. This canal, once home to professors and students, is surrounded by museums, the Hortus Botanicus, and the buildings of Leiden University. Within walking distance, you'll find charming cafés, restaurants, bookstores, and specialty shops, while Leiden Central Station is just ten minutes away. The highways to The Hague, Amsterdam, and Utrecht are also nearby, allowing you to fully benefit from its central location.
Rapenburg 27D is more than just a house; it's a place with a story. Perfect for those who appreciate history, comfort, and everything that vibrant city life has to offer. The apartment isn't quite move-in ready yet and requires some attention, but that's precisely why it offers so many possibilities. A great start has already been made on the renovation, so you can create a charming home entirely to your own taste, while preserving the building's character and charm.
A courtyard with several parking spaces is accessible via Groenhazengracht. One of these parking spaces can also be purchased with this apartment. Please contact our local real estate agent for pricing and details.
