Middelweg, 38 B, LEIDEN, South Holland 2312 KJ

Unique apartment of approx. 163 m in a monumental building, located in the heart of the city centre of LeidenThe 'Evangeliesch Lutersch Wees- en Oudeliedenhuis' on the Middelweg in Leiden is a historic building with a rich history dating back to the 19th century. Originally built for the care and shelter of orphans and the elderly, this building is a beautiful example of 19th century architecture. The classical style fits in perfectly with the zeitgeist and the original function of the building.During the 20th century, the building fell into disrepair and in the 1990s it was even squatted for a long time. In 2012, the building was bought by a group of Leiden friends aged 50 and over with a visionary plan: creating a 'knarrenhof' avant la lettre. The idea was to completely renovate the dilapidated building with a joint effort and to create four modern apartments, with communal areas where residents can meet each other and undertake activities.More than 12 years later, the initiators can proudly say that their vision has been successful. The building has been completely restored in 2015 and now offers a combination of modern comfort and historical charm. The residents can enjoy a beautifully landscaped, sunny communal garden, a spacious garden room for joint and individual activities, a shared (bicycle) storage room and work space, and two attractive guest rooms with bathrooms on the second floor, which are available to family and friends.Does this unique concept appeal to you?
