Unique Property in the Heart of Leiden Tucked away in a quiet side street off the lively Haarlemmerstraat, this charming home on Sionsteeg offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and central location. Originally built around 1850, the property was converted from a storage warehouse into a residence in 2002. During the renovation, dormer windows were added and the roof was insulated. Later, the building was redesigned into three separate student rooms. At that time, the walls were insulated with an additional inner layer, and the property was later fitted with HR++ double glazing throughout. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler from 2013 and an electric water heater. The house spans two floors and is currently divided into three self-contained living units, making it ideal for room rental or as an investment property. It could also be a perfect choice for parents with a son or daughter studying in Leiden. Of course, it is possible to convert the house back into a single residence, with the French doors on the ground floor offering potential use as a storage area or space for bicycles or a motorbike. On the ground floor, you’ll find the entrance with meter cupboard and access to the first unit. This space includes a kitchenette, a private bathroom with walk-in shower, toilet, washbasin, and towel radiator, as well as French doors opening onto the alley. The first floor is reached via a staircase and small landing. Here too is a self-contained living space with kitchenette, bathroom, and large windows providing plenty of natural light. There is also a washing machine connection on the landing. The second floor is the most spacious level, featuring two dormer windows, a kitchenette, and a bathroom with shower, toilet, washbasin, and towel radiator. This floor also houses the central heating boiler and electric water heater. The property enjoys an exceptionally central location in Leiden, with all amenities within easy reach. The Haarlemmerstraat with its wide range of shops is literally around the corner, as are cafés, restaurants, and terraces. The university and its various faculties can be reached quickly on foot or by bicycle, and Leiden Central Station is also just a short distance away. Altogether, this is a conveniently located property in a vibrant area — offering excellent potential for both private use and investment.
