Fanny Blankers-Koenplein 52031 VW HaarlemSportliedenbuurt

Beautiful architect-designed loft with unobstructed views over the Spaarne! Industrial and atmospheric, located directly on the Spaarne with unobstructed views over the water. Located on Drosteboulevard in the old cocoa silo of the former Droste Chocolate Factory. The Spaarne in Haarlem was once home to the proud stronghold of Koninklijke Droste. The former Droste site has been transformed into a high-quality residential area, where living, working, and leisure come together. On the site, the old factory buildings have been combined with beautiful modern architecture. The popular city beach De Oerkap and restaurants such as Mooie Boules, the Lichtfabriek, Het Meterhuis, De koepel with cinema de Filmkoepel, and restaurant Menu Corridor are also within walking distance. For the sports enthusiasts among us, there are six padel courts next to the Lichtfabriek where you can participate in the fastest growing sport in the world every evening. There is also a Pilates studio, gym, and skate park all in the immediate vicinity. A very spacious, light apartment with an open structure, impressive high ceilings, and original columns from the old factory. The various living areas are separated by integrated cupboards, steel frames, and pillars. The large floor-to-ceiling windows and the loggia above the water make you feel directly connected to the open waterways of the Spaarne. The feeling of living so close to the water makes the apartment extra special. The interior architect has made good use of the unique high ceilings of approx. 3.6 meters by creating an extra ‘floating’ space, which can be used as a bedroom, study, or meditation room. In addition, there is a very attractive, centrally located sink/cooking island with an integrated dining table. There is a modern, spacious bathroom and the master bedroom is accessed via an ingenious walk-through closet. There is plenty of storage and closet space throughout the apartment. This apartment has a high level of finish, using sustainable materials and a coordinated color scheme. The lighting plan consists of attractive, sustainable (built-in) fixtures that fully complement the architecture. Layout; Ground floor: Entrance with doorbells, mailboxes, and two elevators. Mezzanine floor: private storage room with electricity. First floor: entrance hall with video intercom and wardrobe, fixed storage cupboard with washing machine and dryer connections, air conditioning unit, central heating boiler (2025) and boiler, spacious storage/pantry room.

There are large windows that can both be opened (including two French balconies) and a luxurious open kitchen with various built-in appliances (Bosch and Smeg) such as a dishwasher, oven, induction hob, designer radiator from the Elica collection, and a large fridge-freezer with fresh and frozen compartments. Thanks to the inventive layout, there is a spacious workspace for two people behind the coffee corner. The sliding doors (which can be opened on both sides) provide access to the lovely west-facing loggia with a beautiful view of the Spaarne river. Behind a room divider designed by the interior architect with steel frames and frosted glass, a master bedroom has been created with plenty of closet and storage space. From this bedroom, there is access to the hall via the spacious walk-through closet. On the other side is the contemporary bathroom with a custom-made sink, bathtub, walk-in shower, and toilet. Against the high rear wall separating the house is a ‘floating’ extra (bed)room with air conditioning, accessible from the living area via a beautiful fixed oak staircase.
