Bloemveldlaan 182015 HD HaarlemRamplaankwartier

A charming 1920s family home with a surprisingly deep and sunny backyard, located on a quiet, low-traffic street in the popular Ramplaankwartier neighborhood. This charming and wonderfully bright home features a living room nearly 12 meters deep, a wide addition with a skylight, three bedrooms, and a spacious mezzanine with plenty of possibilities. The deep, southeast-facing backyard offers plenty of greenery, tranquility, and privacy and, together with the bright addition, serves as a delightful extension of the living space. The living room is exceptionally spacious and bright. In 2014, the home was expanded across its entire width at the rear. The large floor-to-ceiling windows, wide skylight, and French doors provide plenty of natural light and a pleasant connection to the garden. The exterior of the addition is beautifully finished with red cedar. Adjacent to it is the neat, open-concept kitchen. On the first floor are three bedrooms and the bathroom. The mezzanine is accessible from the spacious front bedroom. It spans nearly the entire width of the house and has three Velux skylights. The structure is designed to allow for the potential addition of a full second story here, which would, of course, require a building permit. The ground floor and first floor feature white-painted pine flooring, smoothly plastered walls, and original paneled doors. In addition, the floors are largely barrier-free. LOCATION The Ramplaankwartier is one of those neighborhoods where you can enjoy a quiet, green lifestyle, while Haarlem and Overveen are literally just around the corner. The neighborhood has an almost village-like character and is beautifully situated on the edge of the dunes. Within walking distance are local shops, a DekaMarkt, the Overveen train station, and a recently renovated playground. Various elementary schools, daycare centers, and sports clubs are easily accessible by bike. There’s also no shortage of great restaurants and bars in the area, including Loetje, Borski, STACH, Nolita, and, of course, De Stinkende Emmer. For nature lovers, the location is ideal. The Elswout Estate, Middenduin, and the Brouwerskolkje are within walking distance, and it’s about a 20-minute bike ride to the beach. The historic center of Haarlem is about a 10-minute bike ride away. The Overveen NS train station is within walking distance and offers direct service to Haarlem and Amsterdam. The Haarlem and Heemstede-Aerdenhout stations are also easily accessible by bike, with connections to destinations including Leiden and The Hague. In short: Here you get the best of both worlds: peace, space, and nature, plus the lively atmosphere of Haarlem right at your fingertips. LAYOUT Ground Floor: Front yard, entryway, hallway with utility closet, half-bath with sink, and storage closet containing the central heating system (2024) and connections for a washer and dryer. The living room, which is nearly 12 meters deep, is wonderfully bright and features stained-glass skylights. At the rear is the wide extension with a large skylight and French doors leading to the garden. The neat, open-concept kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, a Falcon 5-burner gas stove with a double oven—electric and convection—and a range hood. Through the French doors, you can access the very deep, southeast-facing backyard. In this green and sunny backyard, you’ll enjoy plenty of privacy, be able to pick your own fruit, and find a practical storage shed at the back. First floor: Landing. At the front is a spacious bedroom with access to the mezzanine, and next to it is a second bedroom. The third bedroom is located at the back. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, vanity, toilet, and towel radiator. Mezzanine: Spacious mezzanine spanning nearly the entire width of the home, with three Velux skylights that provide plenty of natural light.
