Unique living on the canal in the heart of Delft - Monumental luxury behind a special, unique façade

On Voorstraat, in the heart of Delft's historic center, behind the characteristic facade of the former Bousquet soap factory lies an exceptional canal-side property. Behind the two imposing, monumental doors—once the entrance to the office and factory—lies a spacious, stylish, and attractive home of over 240 m².

The house was thoroughly restored in 2006/2007 at the same time as the soap factory and, in 2012, was converted into a luxury canal house with an eye for detail and under architectural supervision. Authentic elements have been tastefully preserved and combined with high-quality materials and modern living comfort.

A rare opportunity for those who want to live in a spacious, characteristic, and stylish home in one of the most beautiful locations in Delft.
