Morsstraat 34 2312 BM Leiden €520,000

ATTENTION: PARENTS OF STUDYING CHILDREN, FIRST-TIME BUYERS, CITY LOVERS, AND BASICALLY ANYONE LOOKING FOR A FANTASTIC HOME IN THE CITY CENTER!

This immaculately maintained and authentic weaver's house (wevershuis) has been designated as a Municipal Monument (no. 1225) by Heritage Leiden (Erfgoed Leiden). And rightly so! It is truly a gem. Ideally situated in a charming part of Leiden—the lively Morsstraat—you are surrounded by various boutique shops, restaurants, terraces, and cafés. The property is located in the heart of the city center and is within walking distance of Leiden Central Station and the LUMC. Parking is not a problem at all; you can park in the neighborhood or in the large parking garage opposite the impressive Morspoort gate.

Before entering, take a moment to admire the façade. It is in excellent condition and has withstood the 'test of time' (approx. 280 years) remarkably well. A unique feature of this home is the 18th-century double window frame on the first floor. According to Erfgoed Leiden, very few buildings still possess such a specific frame. Isn't that impressive?

The ground floor features a traditional shop front, behind which lies a hall/front room separated from the living room by a beautiful portal (stunning classic frame with pane division). This 'front room' is ideal, offering space to store bicycles while acting as a buffer to keep the cold out of the living area. Characteristically, the living room is a very bright space. Clever use has been made of the abundant light entering from the rear (south) through the kitchen. Consequently, the living room is illuminated from both the front and back, creating a wonderful, pleasant atmosphere.

The spacious and inviting living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which can be separated by two large doors (one of which is a sliding door). The kitchen is a true picture and can certainly be described as luxurious; any cooking enthusiast will be delighted here! This luxury kitchen was installed in 2005 and features a natural stone countertop with extra height and depth. It is equipped with various high-quality built-in appliances, including a 5-burner SMEG hob, a Bosch stainless steel combi-microwave/oven, a Bosch dishwasher, and a fridge/freezer combination. Additionally, it offers ample cupboard space and electric underfloor heating—always a lovely touch of comfort! Adjacent to the rear of the kitchen is the toilet area, equipped with mechanical ventilation and connections for a washing machine and dryer.

From the living room, a fixed open staircase leads to the first floor. At the top of the stairs, a cleverly concealed sliding door has been installed to retain warmth on the ground floor. To the left you step into the first bedroom/study. This is a stunning room where the original beamed ceiling is fully exposed. Additionally, two large French doors provide access to the delightful roof terrace (please refer to the section: balcony).

Back inside: The bathroom is in great shape: equipped with a comfortable bathtub, a natural stone vanity top with a washbasin, thermostatic taps, ample cabinetry, and a mirror. Located at the front of this floor is another spacious bedroom. This room features beautiful stained-glass windows and offers a view of the charming Morsstraat.

A fixed staircase grants access to the charming attic bedroom. Here, the beautiful roof structure with its original exposed beams remains visible, adding character to the space. This floor is currently arranged as a sleeping area and is bathed in light thanks to a large window at the front, a Velux skylight on the side, and another window at the rear.

The updated central heating boiler is located on this floor, along with a spacious walk-in closet offering ample storage space at the rear. As you can tell, we are incredibly enthusiastic about this delightful weaver's cottage! Are you? We warmly invite you to come and see it.

Through two large doors in the rear bedroom, you gain access to the delightful roof terrace, which is situated on the sunny south side. This is a feature that many residents of Leiden’s city center will envy! It is a wonderfully quiet and sunny retreat.

Because the neighboring building at the rear ('de Stadstimmerwerf') is set well back, and thanks to the slanted roofline, the terrace is bathed in sunshine from early morning until early evening (and even later in the summer). In short: an exceptionally peaceful and private spot.
