Description
A Unique National Monument in the Heart of Delft
Located on the stately Oude Delft, one of the most beautiful canals in the Netherlands, this impressive canal-side residence is a designated national monument with a rich history, a stunning city garden, and approximately 500 m² of living space. Behind the classic façade lies a world of space, light, and authentic architectural details.
The property underwent a thorough and stylish renovation last year. Original features have been carefully restored and combined with modern comfort, including underfloor heating, a new technical installation, and three luxurious bathrooms. With numerous rooms, several living and office spaces, and a generous open-plan kitchen area, this house is ideally suited for large families, dual occupancy, or a representative live/work setup.
The location is exceptional: right in the historic city centre, with cafés, restaurants, shops, and cultural venues just around the corner. Delft Central Station is only a three-minute walk away, offering direct connections to Rotterdam, The Hague, and Amsterdam. The A4 and A13 motorways are also easily accessible.
Layout
Ground Floor
Entrance, long hallway, and impressive main hall featuring a classic black-and-white marble floor and monumental oak staircase. At the front are two rooms with original fireplaces—ideal as offices or consulting rooms. Adjacent is a spacious intermediate room that flows into the sunny, garden-facing living room with monumental fireplace.
From the living room there is access to a corridor with a WC and an additional space perfectly suited to be fitted as a (dining) kitchen. Next to the house is a covered passageway with storage space and access to the sheltered city garden—ideal for bicycles.
First Floor
Generous landing with access to bedrooms, bathroom, and separate toilet. At the rear is a large bedroom with direct access to the second bathroom. This floor also provides access to the side balcony.
Second Floor
A beautiful floor showcasing the original roof structure. At the front is a bright, multifunctional space. Additionally, there is a large storage room and a toilet. Extra daylight enters through newly installed, high-placed windows above the mezzanine.
Third Floor (Attic Floor)
Landing, spacious open area, large bedroom, and access—via a small inner step—to the bathroom with walk-in shower and bathtub.
Garden
The L-shaped city garden facing southwest is an oasis of peace and privacy. With a full-width terrace, lawn, mature trees, and a storage shed, it offers a unique green retreat in the heart of the city centre.
