Vroonhof 42019 AA HaarlemBakenes

Live in complete tranquility in the heart of historic Haarlem! Hidden behind an old city wall with a grand gate lies the charming Vroonhof: an exceptionally peaceful courtyard in a truly unique location in the center of Haarlem. Here, you live surrounded by history, directly opposite the centuries-old Bakenesserkerk and just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Bakenessergracht canal. This bright and surprisingly spacious one-bedroom apartment, built in 1988, combines the comfort of modern living with the charm of a historic setting. Thanks to its location within the courtyard, the apartment offers a wonderfully sheltered and quiet atmosphere, while Haarlem’s vibrant city center is literally around the corner. Upon entering, you are immediately struck by the pleasant natural light. The living room with open-plan kitchen forms the heart of the home and features an attractive PVC floor that runs seamlessly throughout almost the entire apartment. At the front, you enjoy views of the courtyard and the Bakenesserkerk, while French doors at the rear provide access to the generous, sunny backyard of over 40 m². The garden is an absolute surprise: wide, private, and southwest-facing. Here, you can enjoy sunshine for most of the day. In addition, there is a spacious extra-high storage shed, ideal for bicycles, gardening equipment, or additional storage space. The generously sized bedroom is located at the front of the apartment and features a built-in wardrobe wall. From this room, you also overlook the peaceful courtyard. The bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, vanity unit, and washing machine connection. The toilet is separate, and the hallway also offers a practical internal storage room. At Vroonhof, the apartment feels almost detached, with only one directly adjoining neighboring property. This is a rare combination of privacy, tranquility, and vibrant city living. Within just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach the Filmkoepel and Toneelschuur cultural venues, charming cafés and restaurants, shops, museums, and of course Haarlem’s picturesque canals.
