An exceptional canal house of approx. 408 m² on freehold land, with a sunny and deep garden and a garden house in the back.This unique canal house is located in a central location between the Leidsegracht and the Leidsestraat. For the first time in 120 years, this canal house has become available for a new occupant. This national monument was built in 1654. In 2022 a new permit was issued which makes it possible to live in the whole monument again. The front part of the house was separated from the back house in the past, it used to be a physical therapie practice until the end of 2021. Now the monument needs to be merged and modernized back to its original state so that the back house with deep garden and special garden house can be occupied again. There is permission from the Municipality to place an elevator and the building can become more sustainable by installing a heat pump. The front house still needs a new foundation, the back house already has a new concrete foundation.
