Essenstraat 12011 DW HaarlemHeiliglanden

Stunning city-centre apartment with sunny Roof terrace. A beautifully designed two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Haarlem's historic city centre, featuring a wonderful sunny roof terrace. This exceptional home combines bespoke craftsmanship, natural materials and warm earthy tones to create an inviting and sophisticated living environment. Enjoy all the charm and vibrancy of the city just outside your door, while experiencing remarkable peace and privacy indoors. City living does not have to be sleek or minimalist – quite the opposite. This apartment perfectly balances historic character, contemporary comfort and carefully curated interior design. Fully renovated in 2024, the property has been finished to an exceptional standard using high-quality materials throughout. The bright living room is positioned at the front of the apartment and benefits from large windows as well as additional side windows, allowing natural light to flood the space. Elegant semi-circular windows with original cast-iron detailing celebrate the building's heritage and add distinctive character. A bespoke built-in display cabinet creates a subtle separation between the living room and the kitchen, while a custom-made built-in bench forms an integral part of the overall design. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. The kitchen has been designed as the true heart of the home. A generous peninsula with a BORA induction hob and integrated extraction system takes centre stage, while built-in seating creates an inviting dining area perfect for long dinners with family and friends. Much of the bespoke joinery has been crafted from timber personally sourced and imported from Hungary, adding a unique and highly personal touch. Combined with the warm natural colour palette, the result is an interior that feels calm, timeless and effortlessly stylish. At the rear of the apartment are two comfortable bedrooms. The principal bedroom features bespoke fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom. Rich colours, premium finishes and the elegant arched window create an atmosphere reminiscent of a boutique hotel in Marrakech. The second bedroom opens directly onto the private roof terrace through French doors, offering a wonderfully secluded outdoor retreat in the middle of the city. The location completes the picture. Situated in Haarlem's historic city centre, everything is within walking distance. Pick up your morning coffee around the corner, explore the charming shopping streets or enjoy one of the many cafés and restaurants nearby. Despite its central location, parking is exceptionally convenient thanks to De Kamp parking garage, located directly next to the building, offering ample parking spaces and electric vehicle charging facilities.
