In leafy Bloemendaal, just behind the charming village shopping street, you will find this characterful and surprisingly spacious 1920s semi-detached home with a generous front garden, a private driveway providing parking for several cars and a truly fantastic rear garden approximately 23 metres deep with rear access. This ideal family home occupies a substantial plot of approximately 420 m² and offers a bright L-shaped living room, five bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with sauna and a large multifunctional garage. Without doubt, the impressive garden is one of the property’s main highlights: beautifully landscaped with different levels, rear access, a carp pond and an atmospheric Japanese-inspired garden pavilion. The house retains a wealth of original period features, including colourful stained-glass windows, panelled doors, original wall tiles, exposed decorative ceiling beams and several fireplaces. The current owner has enjoyed living here for more than 50 years and has maintained the property with great care. The time has now come for a new owner to create a wonderful family home here, tailored entirely to their own taste and preferences. ### LOCATION Rustenburgherweg is a quiet, wide and attractive avenue in a peaceful and particularly family-friendly residential area. Bloemendaal’s charming shopping street, with a variety of high-quality shops, an Albert Heijn supermarket and restaurants such as Restaurant Éclusier and Le Petit Café, is literally just around the corner. Primary schools, childcare facilities, playgrounds and several sports clubs can also be found nearby. For a walk in the woods or an outdoor performance, the Caprera Open-Air Theatre is only around five minutes away by bicycle. Bloemendaal railway station is within walking distance, while Haarlem’s vibrant city centre can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by bicycle. Prefer the outdoors? Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, the dunes and the beach are all easily accessible by bike. The nearby main roads also provide excellent connections to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport and The Hague. ### LAYOUT **Ground floor:** Generous front garden with a partially paved private driveway providing parking for several cars. The rear garden can also be accessed directly along the side of the house. Entrance into the tiled vestibule, with a stained-glass door leading into the hallway. The hall features a sunken pantry/cellar cupboard, a toilet, stairs to the upper floors and access to both the kitchen and living room. The spacious L-shaped living room enjoys an abundance of natural light thanks to its many windows. At the front is a wide bay window and a substantial fireplace with an open fire. The exposed decorative beams and colourful stained-glass windows give the room a particularly warm and characterful atmosphere. The additional front side room is ideal as a separate sitting area, children’s playroom or comfortable home office. During the afternoon, the colourful stained glass creates particularly beautiful light throughout the house. The floor is finished with oak parquet. At the rear there is ample space for a large dining table. A second fireplace houses a cast-iron gas stove. French doors open into the bright conservatory, where the wide sliding doors create a wonderful connection between the living room and the garden. The separate kitchen is accessed from the hallway and is equipped with a hob, oven, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The garden can also be accessed directly from the kitchen. The approximately 23-metre-deep rear garden is an absolute eye-catcher. Enjoying sunshine throughout the day, it has been playfully landscaped across different levels with abundant greenery, a fishpond, a small bridge and an atmospheric Japanese-inspired garden pavilion. There are also two smaller storage sheds and a large detached multifunctional garage/outbuilding of approximately 16 m². This space features a concrete floor, renewed roof tiles and a ridge height of almost three metres, making it ideal for bicycles, storage, a home workspace or potentially for incorporation into the main house. The rear garden can be reached via the side of the property, while at the far end there is rear access leading onto a footpath with an adjoining children’s playground. **First floor:** Staircase with a colourful stained-glass window.

This room is fitted with recessed spotlights and is ideal as a child’s bedroom, home office or guest room. At the rear is the third bedroom, also generously sized and featuring a built-in wardrobe and large windows with beautiful views across the deep, green garden.
