Witte Singel 46 2311 BK Leiden Vreewijk

The most beautiful view of Leiden!

This lovely mansion is located on the edge of the center opposite the Observatory and the Hortus in the bend of the Witte Singel. Atmosphere and character are the words that briefly summarize this house. Many of the original details have been preserved and the current residents have modernized and maintained the house with an eye for history. The marble floors in the hall, wooden floors in the living room, the fireplaces and very richly decorated stucco ceilings are an example of this.

Originally there was an en-suite living room with a kitchen in the extension. Now there is a spacious living room with two hardboards and a bay window with stained glass windows on the garden side. The beautiful stucco ceilings still show how the layout must have been. The house and the plot are a lot wider at the rear than at the front and this is the reason that the spacious kitchen diner is located at the side of the house. Here there is plenty of space for cooking, breakfast, lunch, drinks and, of course, dinner. When the weather is nice, you open the doors and house and garden become one. And what a garden! Almost twelve by seven metres, facing west and surrounded by trees. Plenty of privacy, sun, shade and greenery. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a very spacious bathroom. The bedrooms already have a beautiful view of the gardens at the rear, but the view at the front really beats everything: an unobstructed view of the canal and the Observatory!

Beautiful details, high ceilings and lots of light are combined with a spacious garden, beautiful view and a top location. Shops and boutiques. Cafes and restaurants. Culture and history. Water and green. Schools and sports clubs. Highways and public transport. Everything you are looking for is within walking or cycling distance. What more could you possibly want?
