Living within walking distance of Haarlem city centre, in a fantastic location with unobstructed views of the KoepelKathedraal – the Cathedral Basilica of St Bavo Directly opposite the imposing KoepelKathedraal – the Cathedral Basilica of St Bavo – you will find this surprisingly spacious and beautifully maintained duplex upper-floor apartment dating from 1906. The living room offers unobstructed views across the greenery towards the distinctive cathedral.
