Located on the charming and characteristic Wilsonsplein, in the heart of Haarlem's highly desirable Vijfhoek neighbourhood, this beautiful and surprisingly bright upper-floor apartment offers 122 m² of living space, three bedrooms and a wonderful roof terrace. Fully renovated in 2016, this lovely home combines character, space and modern comfort. With unobstructed views over Wilsonsplein at the front and the greenery and Raamsingel canal at the rear, you can enjoy an abundance of natural light, peace and privacy, right in the heart of the city. What makes this property particularly special are the beautiful views on both sides. The spacious kitchen and dining area overlooks the charming Wilsonsplein, while the inviting living room at the rear, with its stunning southwest-facing bay window, offers wonderful views over the greenery and Raamsingel canal. The large windows flood the rooms with natural light and provide a remarkable sense of privacy. The history of the building is equally fascinating. Originally dating back to around 1885, the property acquired its beautiful Dutch Renaissance-style stepped gable in 1917, designed by architect Johannes Jansen. The façade originally belonged to a building on the Oude Gracht and was relocated to Wilsonsplein. The historic decorative stones in the façade still tell the story of this remarkable transformation and contribute to the distinctive appearance of this municipally listed monument. The apartment was completely renovated in 2016, carefully preserving its original character. Beautiful wooden floors, exposed beams and charming bay windows create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. In addition, the property has an energy label A, the flat roof was renewed and insulated in 2022, and the exterior paintwork was completed in 2025. And then there's the location! Wilsonsplein is one of those wonderful places where you can live right in the centre of Haarlem while still enjoying peace, quiet and greenery. The property is situated on a quiet, dead-end section of the square, mainly used by local residents. Haarlem's Stadsschouwburg theatre is literally around the corner, as are the popular Maeva and an Albert Heijn supermarket for your daily groceries. The picturesque streets of the Vijfhoek, with their independent shops and excellent cafés and restaurants such as Mogador, Native and Café De Vijfhoek, are just a short stroll away. The Grote Markt and the rest of Haarlem's historic city centre are easily reached on foot, while the railway station and the Kennemerduinen nature reserve are within cycling distance.
