The Canal House Leiden is a fully renovated 17th-century monumental property positioned along the city’s most admired canal. With a living area of 345 m² and five bedrooms, this grachtenpand stands in an unrivalled setting, steps from the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden and close to the celebrated Hortus Botanicus. The property blends historic presence with deep privacy, behind a façade unchanged for centuries but reimagined within by contemporary craftsmanship and sustainable upgrades, including the latest vacuum glass and advanced insulation standards.
Upon entry, spacious and luminous interiors invite calm; beamed ceilings, Delft Blue tilework, and a remarkable staircase create an authentic sense of place. A Bulthaup kitchen flows to the west-facing city garden, mature and quietly secluded. The first and upper floors bring six rooms suited to family life, work, or refuge, with three bathrooms throughout. At the rear, a private terrace connects the master suite with the sky above, while the living spaces draw in canal views and urban rhythm.
Living at Rapenburg ensures complete convenience, culture, and discretion, with theatre, museums, and restaurants easily reached. Private underground parking, available separately, underscores the property’s urban appeal. This canal house in Leiden presents a rare, harmonious composition of heritage, comfort, and city living.
