Entering via a historic courtyard, overlooking the Haarlemmerstraat
Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, running errands, or heading out for an impromptu dinner, the heart of Leiden is right at your doorstep at Stevenshof 16.
You reach this characterful maisonette via the charming Sint Stevenshofje courtyard. Inside, you’ll find 59 m² of living space spread across two floors, featuring a bright living room, an open-plan kitchen, and a dedicated sleeping level with an en-suite bathroom.
The property was renovated in 2019 and holds an A-rated energy label.
A wonderful space for cooking, dining, and relaxing
On the first level, you enter into a hallway, which includes a separate toilet and a utility room with space for a washing machine and dryer.
From here, you move into the open-plan kitchen and dining area, which flow directly into the living room—making it easy to stay connected with your guests while you cook.
At the front, tall windows offer a view over the Haarlemmerstraat. Deep windowsills and ceilings approximately 3.40 meters high give the living room a bright, distinctive character.
There is ample room for a comfortable seating area and a dining table perfect for long, leisurely meals. Next to the staircase, you’ll find a spacious, separate storage closet.
A private sleeping level tucked under the roof
A staircase leads you to the second level. The exposed roof structure gives the bedroom a unique atmosphere, while a built-in cupboard on the landing provides extra storage.
The bedroom opens into an en-suite bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with drawers, and a second toilet. A skylight fills the space with natural daylight. In addition, there is a mechanical ventilation system.
A unique part of Leiden
The route home leads through the Sint Stevenshofje—a historic site captured on canvas by Max Liebermann between 1889 and 1890. As soon as you step out of the courtyard, you find yourself on the Haarlemmerstraat.
Shops, cafés, and restaurants are close by, as are Museum De Lakenhal and Rijksmuseum Boerhaave. It is an ideal location if you enjoy exploring the city on foot and want culture and a vibrant atmosphere right at your fingertips.
Outdoor space is also available: the property includes access to a shared roof terrace. The apartment is part of an active Owners’ Association (VvE).
