A grand apartment on Kruitschip

This spacious apartment on Kruitschip sits in the historic heart of Leiden, with high ceilings and period details that speak to its 1892 origins. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €897,000, the asking price is 75% above the neighbourhood average of €512,188, but the floor area of 136 m² is 152% larger than the typical 54 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is in line with the market. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely in size and price.
