Nieuwe Rijn 98

A grand townhouse on the Nieuwe Rijn

This 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's energy performance. This monumental 18th-century townhouse on the Nieuwe Rijn in Leiden is a rare find: 275 m² of living space on a 136 m² plot, with a price tag of €1,650,000. That is 116% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood, but the size is also 118% larger than the local average. For comparison, terraced houses in Leiden typically sell for less, but this is an exceptional property.

Life on the Nieuwe Rijn

Your daily routine here is wonderfully compact. For bread and groceries, Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, Hoogvliet just around the corner, and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is a five-minute walk, and the Bonaventura College is similarly close. The municipality Leiden offers a rich cultural life, with a restaurant and a library both within a few minutes' walk. The park or public garden is a five-minute stroll away, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
