Luxury Finished Apartment with Private Garden and Energy Label A

This fully renovated apartment is located at Hooigracht 90 in the Pancras-West district of Leiden. The property is situated in a characteristic building dating back to approximately 1750. The building holds the status of a protected cityscape and is classified as a monumental building. Despite its historical origins, the apartment has been completely updated to meet modern living standards while carefully preserving authentic elements that give the space its distinctive character.

The apartment spans 62 square meters of living space with a total volume of 230 cubic meters. It is configured as a ground floor apartment with one living level. The layout comprises two rooms in total, including one bedroom. There is one bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit. The property also features natural ventilation and a television cable connection.

The living room is designed to maximize natural light and features an open plan kitchen. The kitchen is modern and includes various built-in appliances, making it suitable for everyday cooking needs. From the entrance hall, residents can access a patio area that contributes additional daylight to the interior while maintaining an authentic atmosphere typical of historic Leiden buildings.

The bedroom is positioned at the rear of the apartment, which ensures a quiet environment away from street noise. This placement is specifically noted as contributing to optimal comfort and restful sleep. The bedroom provides access to the outdoor space through French doors that open onto an enclosed garden measuring approximately 15 square meters. The garden dimensions are specified as 3.85 meters in depth and 4.01 meters in width. The outdoor area is oriented towards the west, which means it receives afternoon and evening sunlight. The garden is walled, creating a sheltered and private space for outdoor relaxation.

In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment achieves an Energy Label A rating. This high rating is achieved through several measures including a heat pump system for heating, floor heating throughout the entire apartment, mostly double glazing windows, and floor insulation. Hot water is provided through an electric boiler. These features collectively contribute to lower energy consumption and reduced monthly utility costs.

The property includes an attached stone storage shed for additional storage needs. Parking in the area is available through paid parking options, nearby parking garages, and parking permits can be obtained.

The property is part of a recently established Homeowners Association (VvE). The monthly VvE contribution is set at 111 euros. According to the VvE checklist, the association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and has building insurance in place. However, it is noted that the VvE does not yet hold annual meetings, does not have a reserve fund, and does not have a maintenance plan in place. These are factors that potential buyers may want to inquire about further.

The apartment is listed as accessible for people with disabilities and accessible for elderly residents. This accessibility feature, combined with the ground floor location, makes the property suitable for a wide range of potential occupants.

The asking price is 365,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,887 euros per square meter. The price is listed as costs koper (k.k.), meaning that the buyer is responsible for additional transaction costs such as notary fees and transfer tax. The property is currently available, and the acceptance terms are described as negotiable, suggesting some flexibility regarding the moving date.

The location combines the benefits of being in a residential neighborhood with proximity to the center of Leiden. The Pancras-West area is known for its historic character and attractive canal-side properties. The Hooigracht itself is one of the well-known canals in Leiden, offering a scenic living environment.

This apartment represents a combination of historical charm and contemporary comfort. The renovation has been carried out with attention to detail, resulting in a move-in ready home that requires no further work. The presence of both a patio and a garden provides residents with outdoor living options that are not always available in apartments of this type and age. The energy efficiency measures, particularly the heat pump and Energy Label A rating, position the property favorably in terms of sustainability and long-term operating costs.
