Monumental Villa ‘De Narcis’ for Sale!
This is undoubtedly one of the most striking and recognizable city villas in Leiden. This detached property, built in 1904, offers a generous living space of approximately 260 m2 and is situated on a 684 m2 plot. The villa features a private driveway with parking for multiple cars and a beautifully landscaped southwest-facing rear garden.
Surroundings and accessibility
This characteristic villa is ideally located on the border of Leiden and Oegstgeest. Within walking and cycling distance are Leiden Central Station, the historic city center, the city park "De Leidse Hout, " and the shops and amenities of Oegstgeest. Major highways to Amsterdam, The Hague, and Rotterdam are also easily accessible.
In the immediate vicinity, you'll find the Bio Science Park, the lumc (Leiden University Medical Center), various excellent (international) schools, childcare facilities, and more. The beaches of Katwijk and Noordwijk are also easily reachable by bike.
Layout
Ground floor:
Through the entrance porch, you enter the spacious, character-filled hallway, immediately striking with its beautiful fireplace bearing the inscription "Arbeid Adelt" ("Labour Ennobles"). All rooms are accessible from the hallway. At the front, there is a stylish office with a custom oak bookcase and desk.
The living and dining rooms are separated by original en-suite sliding doors with built-in cabinets. The front room features a charming fireplace, a bay window with bench seating, and characteristic stained-glass windows. The rear room is spacious and bright, with another original fireplace and French doors opening onto the terrace and garden.
The kitchen perfectly complements the home's style, with classic cabinetry, an old fireplace hood, and a granite floor. Naturally, it is equipped with modern built-in appliances. In 2011, the kitchen was extended with a conservatory featuring underfloor heating — cozy in winter and open to the terrace and garden in summer.
Also on the ground floor: A guest toilet, a side hallway with access to two full-height cellars, and a covered bicycle storage area accessible from the front garden.
First floor:
A beautiful staircase leads to a spacious, light-filled landing. At the front are two generous bedrooms, one of which has access to a balcony.
At the rear is the large master bedroom, with access to a spacious roof terrace and an en-suite bathroom, which is also accessible from the landing.
Second floor:
Here you'll find a second bathroom (with shower, bathtub, sink, and toilet) and two charming, well-sized bedrooms. Under the sloped roof is a storage area that houses the central heating system.
Around the property
The villa has an official driveway with an electric gate and parking space for two cars. The beautifully landscaped front garden features a stylish new fence along the street.
At the side of the house, there's space for covered bicycle storage.
The sunny, southwest-facing rear garden includes multiple spacious terraces; perfect for entertaining. The lawn is large enough for children to play or engage in sports.
