Pancras-Oost, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 117 m² apartment on Middelstegracht sits in the heart of Leiden, a stone's throw from the city's canals and lively streets. Built in 1750, it has the character you'd expect from a Golden Age home, with high ceilings and large windows. The asking price of €1,050,000 is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €764,909, which puts it on the high side, but for a property of this size and location, it reflects the premium for space in the centre. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely, and this one is at the top end.

About Middelstegracht 129, Leiden
The asking price is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €764,909, which is on the high side. However, this is a large apartment (117 m²) in a prime historic location, and the average price per m² in the area is €6,444. Given the size and character, the premium reflects the scarcity of such properties in the centre.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This is common for a home built in 1750, as most pre-1945 buildings in the neighbourhood have low labels. You can expect high heating costs, and improvements like insulation or double glazing would be needed to bring it up to modern standards.
