At the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, just a few minutes’ walk from Leiden’s historic city centre, you’ll find this charming semi-detached home. The house is move-in ready and promises many years of comfortable living. Originally extended and rebuilt in 2018, it has since been further improved by the current owners. With excellent insulation, solar panels, and an energy label A, the property combines modern efficiency with character. Inside you’ll find a spacious living room with an open kitchen, four bedrooms, and a modern bathroom. Outside, there’s a sunny south-facing garden with rear access. Ideally located in a quiet yet central part of the city, the home offers a pleasant layout, plenty of natural light, and a lovely private garden. Here you’ll enjoy peace and privacy, while shops, schools, restaurants, public transport, and main roads are all within easy reach. Layout Ground floor Upon entering, you’re greeted by a hallway with the meter cupboard and a toilet with wash basin. From the hall, you step into the bright and spacious living room, extended to create extra space and light. At the front there’s room for a comfortable sitting area, while the dining area connects seamlessly towards the rear. The staircase to the first floor is centrally positioned. The open kitchen (installed in 2018) is located at the back of the house in a practical U-shaped layout. It offers ample cupboard space and a composite countertop, and is equipped with a 5-burner gas hob, extractor fan, dishwasher, combination oven, refrigerator, and freezer. French doors open onto the garden, creating a pleasant connection between indoors and outdoors. First floor Landing with access to all rooms. There are two bedrooms on this level. The larger bedroom at the rear is currently used as a child’s room; the freestanding wardrobe will be removed, leaving space for a generous master bedroom. At the front you’ll find the second bedroom and the modern bathroom (2018), complete with bathtub, walk-in shower, wash basin, and a second toilet. Second floor Landing with built-in storage and access to two further bedrooms, both with convenient storage under the sloped ceilings. Large Velux skylights provide plenty of natural light. Between the two bedrooms is a separate utility room housing the central heating boiler. Garden The sunny south-facing garden is located at the rear of the property and includes a wooden shed with electricity. The garden can also be accessed via a back entrance — ideal for safely storing bicycles on your own property. From the current owners “Home on Van Galenstraat 3” We have truly loved living here! A fresh, bright, and renewed home. Every year we enjoy the sunny garden, which feels pleasantly warm even in early spring thanks to its sheltered position. The view of the greenery and the charming rooftops of the old houses still makes us smile. The kitchen is one of our favourite places — light, spacious, and practical, with lots of work surface and smart storage that keeps everything tidy. Although you live close to the city centre, the street itself is quiet and the neighbours are kind. Within walking distance you’ll find lovely cafés and terraces by the harbour — perfect for a morning coffee. We often walk into town just to enjoy the atmosphere. Our children have loved the nearby parks and playgrounds, especially the water playground near the Meelfabriek! The local community garden even lets you share in the harvest. If we didn’t need more space, we’d never leave. This truly is a place that makes you happy.” Additional details Living area (NEN 2580): 107.5 m² External storage: 4.0 m² Volume: 399.5 m³ Year of construction: 1934 Energy label: A Electrical installation: modern fuse box with circuit breakers Heating and hot water via HR combination boiler (2018) Exterior painting completed in 2025 6 solar panels (2019) All roofs renewed in 2018 Quiet location at the end of a cul-de-sac
