Charming 1930s home on Ter Haarkade, Leiden – fully renovated and move-in ready This 1936-built home on Ter Haarkade has recently undergone a complete renovation. Well insulated—with roof and wall insulation, plus double-glazed UPVC window frames throughout—it offers modern comfort while retaining the charm of a characteristic street. Inside, everything has been renewed: plasterwork, paintwork, flooring, electrics, kitchen, and bathroom. The central heating boiler (2021) is also still very new. The ground floor feels fresh and bright. At the front, a cosy living area; at the rear, the open kitchen equipped with built-in appliances and direct access to the garden through a back door. The garden faces east, features a back entrance and a spacious shed, and has a canopy above the rear door. The downstairs toilet has been fully refurbished with a modern vanity unit, round illuminated mirror, and washbasin. On the first floor are two generous bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom is both practical and stylish, fitted with a walk-in shower, vanity unit, second toilet, mechanical ventilation, and an electric towel radiator. From the large front bedroom, a small hallway leads to the staircase, where the central heating unit is neatly tucked away. This staircase brings you to the second floor: a large, light-filled space with two dormer windows and a skylight. This floor can be used flexibly—as an additional bedroom, home office, or laundry area, with washing machine connections conveniently located here. The setting of this property is another big plus. At the front you have an open view of the beautifully designed mosque and the playful architecture of Chris van Abkoudestraat. For children, the large Speeltuin Westerkwartier playground is literally around the corner, as well as a small green park perfect for a stroll. Schrijverspark is also within walking distance—a great spot for walking, exercising, or simply enjoying nature. In the immediate vicinity you’ll find several sports parks, including Sportpark de Vliet and Sportpark Boshuizerkade, ensuring sports facilities are always close at hand. Nearby is also the well-known local shop Verboon, a true Leiden institution famous for its grilled sausage and seasonal fruit such as strawberries. Schools are close by, and with the new residential developments in the area, the neighbourhood feels lively and full of growth. Ter Haarkade is an ideal base: within minutes you can cycle to Leiden’s historic city centre, and by car you have quick access to major roads towards The Hague, Amsterdam, or the coast. All in all, this is a beautifully finished home, ready for you to move straight into—situated in a neighbourhood that feels both vibrant and peaceful.
