Buy Houses

On the Rijnsburgersingel, where the water gently glides along the quay and boats are a natural part of the streetscape, stands a mansion that you don’t just call “a home.” This is the kind of house you step inside and immediately sense: this is where life has been lived, where love has been shared, where stories lie in the floorboards and in the light that streams in through tall windows. With a direct view of the De Valk windmill and the green rhythm of the canal as a backdrop, you experience Leiden at its best every day—urban vibrancy, yet with a surprising sense of tranquility.

This characterful mansion from the late 19th century exudes grandeur. A front garden acts as a charming buffer between you and the city, a lovely side garden with rear access, and a secluded back garden embraced by characteristic facades, windows, and ornaments. Inside, a world unfolds that reminds you more of a country house than a city dwelling: high ceilings, rich details, an original en-suite with depth and elegance, and a working fireplace that provides not only warmth but also ambiance and cohesion.

What makes this house truly special is the freedom it offers—now and in the future. It’s a house that evolves with life’s stages, plans, and dreams. Imagine the comfort of elderly parents on the ground floor, while you and your family live generously on the floors above. Or a teenage son or daughter who’s ready for their own space, independent yet close by. Perhaps you see it as a home with space for a salon or home office: a quiet office at the front, while family life naturally moves to the garden and the warmer rooms. Or you might use it initially as it feels now—broad, spacious, generations together—and repurpose it later as needs change.

This isn’t a house you can capture in a single sentence. It’s a house that invites imagination. A place where morning light plays across the canal, where you can feel the crackling of the fireplace in the evening, where each level can have its own atmosphere yet everything remains a cohesive whole. A mansion with stature, with soul, and with that rare quality: it offers not only space in meters, but above all space in possibilities.

Stylish living on a unique estate where peace, greenery, and luxury come together in perfect harmony, with the best of the city within easy reach. Welcome to Nieuweroord!

This stylish apartment is located in one of the most beautiful and green areas of Leiden, within the elegant Nieuweroord development. Completed in 2020, the complex was designed in the classical style of the former country house and complemented by two elegant wings, creating a unique combination of character and modern living comfort. With Bos van Bosman park literally as your backyard, and Leiden Central Station, the historic city center, and the Bio Science Park all within a short cycling distance, this is a location that rarely becomes available.

The apartment is situated on the first residential floor of the ‘east wing’ and offers everything you would expect from luxurious new-build living. Through the secure entrance, you can conveniently collect your parcels from the safe box before continuing to the hallway on the first floor. From the spacious entrance hall, all rooms are easily accessible.

The generous living room with open-plan kitchen immediately stands out thanks to the wide and tall sliding doors, which provide an abundance of natural light and direct access to the exceptionally spacious balcony. The balcony is a wonderful place to relax in complete tranquility while enjoying the surrounding greenery and birdsong.

The bedroom also opens onto the balcony, allowing you to wake up every morning to views of the lush surroundings. The apartment is tastefully finished with a herringbone PVC floor and includes light fixtures and sheer curtains, making it ready for immediate occupancy.

The modern bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower and a stylish vanity unit. In addition, there is a separate toilet adjacent to the hallway, as well as a large technical/storage room with space for both a washing machine and dryer.

The complex has been fully designed for energy-efficient and future-proof living. Thanks to the combination of a heat pump, private solar panels, and underfloor heating, you can enjoy a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year while benefiting from very low energy costs.

Parking is available with a permit for Zone B in the adjacent parking area. The building’s garage includes a spacious private storage unit with the possibility to charge an electric bicycle. In addition to the private storage, the complex also offers a large communal bicycle storage area.

Nieuweroord has been developed on a site rich in history.
