On the edge of Leiden, bordering Oegstgeest, lies this attractive early 20th-century gentleman’s residence. This is a highly charming and characterful home featuring original details and high ceilings.

Directly opposite the property are Nieuweroord and the Bos van Bosman. Behind the house lies the Leidse Hout, while the Endegeest estate is just a short walk away — providing ample opportunities for a pleasant stroll.
