Description

Ruime bovenwoning met winkel aan de Nieuwestad 123 en 123A te Leeuwarden Op een van de mooiste locaties van Leeuwarden, aan de zonzijde van de Nieuwestad en met uitzicht op de monumentale Waag en de gracht, bieden wij deze bijzondere combinatie van wonen en ondernemen aan. Het object bestaat uit een royale bovenwoning met zelfstandige entree en een representatieve winkelruimte op de begane grond. De bovenwoning biedt maar liefst circa 247 m² woonoppervlak en beschikt over tal van authentieke details, verrassende ruimtes en een unieke indeling. Hoewel modernisering wenselijk is, biedt dit karaktervolle pand een uitstekende basis voor een royaal stadswoonhuis, een combinatie van wonen en werken of zelfs een herontwikkelingsproject met meerdere appartementen. Bovenwoning (huisnummer 123) Via een eigen entree aan de straatzijde bereikt u de woning. Achter de voordeur begint direct een verrassende ontdekkingstocht door dit bijzondere pand, waarin authentieke elementen, verborgen hoekjes en sfeervolle details elkaar afwisselen. Eerste verdieping De eerste verdieping heeft een oppervlakte van circa 107 m². Via de trap komt u uit op een ruime overloop die toegang geeft tot de verschillende vertrekken. Aan de voorzijde bevinden zich de woonkamer en achterkamer, die van elkaar worden gescheiden door authentieke schuifdeuren. Vanuit deze kamers geniet u van een prachtig uitzicht over de Nieuwestad, de gracht en de Waag. Centraal op deze verdieping bevindt zich het toilet. Aan de achterzijde liggen een ruime slaapkamer met wastafel, de keuken en een douchegelegenheid. Tweede verdieping De tweede verdieping omvat circa 97 m² en beschikt daarnaast over een buitenruimte van circa 18 m² aan de achterzijde. Via de trap bereikt u de gang waar direct een bijzonder element opvalt: de indrukwekkende lichtschacht die doorloopt vanaf de winkelruimte tot aan de bovenste verdieping. Deze zorgt voor een unieke sfeer en extra daglichttoetreding in het hart van het pand. Op deze verdieping bevinden zich meerdere kamers. Een van de vertrekken bevat nog bijzondere elementen uit de periode van de voormalige Friese Bank. Aan de voorzijde ligt een ruime kamer met kitchenette en opnieuw een schitterend uitzicht over het historische stadscentrum. Aan de achterzijde bevinden zich nog twee kamers, waarvan één directe toegang biedt tot het dakterras. Derde verdieping De derde verdieping heeft een oppervlakte van circa 28 m² en is vanaf de straatzijde niet zichtbaar. Hier bevinden zich nog twee kamers die uitstekend kunnen dienen als slaapkamer, hobbyruimte of werkkamer. Door het gehele pand zijn diverse vaste kasten, verborgen opbergruimtes en authentieke details aanwezig. De combinatie van ruimte, karakter en uitzicht maakt dit een bijzonder object met veel mogelijkheden. Winkelruimte (huisnummer 123A) Op de begane grond bevindt zich een representatieve winkelruimte met een bruto vloeroppervlak van circa 115 m², een verhuurbaar vloeroppervlak van circa 110,4 m² en een netto vloeroppervlak van circa 101,3 m². De winkel beschikt over een fraaie glazen pui met goede frontbreedte en grote etalageramen die zorgen voor uitstekende zichtbaarheid en veel daglicht. De verkoopruimte van circa 45 m² wordt aangevuld met twee karakteristieke ruimtes van circa 14 m² en 9 m², voorzien van authentieke elementen zoals houten schuifdeuren. Met beperkte aanpassingen kan het verkoopoppervlak verder worden vergroot. Aan de achterzijde bevindt zich bovendien een ruime multifunctionele ruimte van circa 19 m² die geschikt is als opslag, kantoor of personeelsruimte. Verder zijn een pantry, toilet en een kleine buitenplaats aanwezig. De winkelruimte verkeert in een goede staat van onderhoud en is geschikt voor uiteenlopende detailhandels- en dienstverlenende activiteiten.

How to read these figures

  • A registered crime is a crime the police recorded in an official report, after someone reported it or on their own initiative. It covers offences in the Criminal Code and in special laws such as the Opium Act, the Road Traffic Act and the Weapons and Ammunition Act.
  • The counts include attempts. For some crimes, such as murder and manslaughter, that gives a much higher number than the crimes that were completed.
  • Since July 2018 one registration holds one crime. Before, when one registration held several related crimes, only the most serious was counted. Some kinds rose from 2018 because of this, mainly trespass, special laws, weapons trade, drug trade, public order offences and other social integrity offences. The publisher puts the effect on the total for 2018 at about 0.5%.
  • The publisher gives every year for the areas as divided in 2025.
  • Sexual offences, child pornography and child prostitution are not published in this table, because of the risk of identifying people. A figure the publisher marks as unknown, not reliable enough or confidential is not published either.
  • The publisher revises the figures regularly, for example after municipalities merge, so they can differ slightly from earlier publications.
  • The publisher says the 2025 figure for fireworks is not final: many incidents were still to be counted as crimes afterwards, in the first half of 2026.
  • These are the police's figures. They differ from the crime statistics of Statistics Netherlands (CBS) because of other filtering, other categories and because they include crimes registered by the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee.
  • The total is the publisher's own. Huisly adds no kinds of crime together and computes no rates.
