Brouwersstraat 862013 WP HaarlemLeidsebuurt-west

Family home with south-facing garden. This charming house has everything you're looking for: a spacious living room, two bedrooms, a home office, a laundry room, a large kitchen and a well-sized bathroom. All of this is offered in a home full of natural light and character, featuring an elegant facade in the vibrant Leidsebuurt. This is a lively neighborhood with plenty to see and do, all within walking distance of the city center. Built in 1890, this characteristic home still carries its historical charm. The original terrazzo floor is preserved in the hallway, and the living room boasts colorful light streaming through the stained-glass windows at the front. The wooden floor and exposed beams further enhance the warm atmosphere throughout the house. This property is a classic worker’s home, extended to include a laundry room, a spacious bathroom, and a generously sized kitchen. The kitchen is a bright, separate space that still connects visually to the living room through a wall opening. This way, the chef can enjoy the best of both worlds: engagement with guests while keeping the kitchen organized and private. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms with impressive high ceilings that reach all the way up to the roof ridge. The front bedroom is the larger of the two and features a dormer window. A fixed staircase leads to the mezzanine, where a light-filled workspace has been created thanks to the skylights. This makes it a fully functional extra room. An excellent location! Situated on the edge of the city center, within walking distance of the Stadsschouwburg and the Patronaat music venue, this house is the ideal base for city dwellers. Shops, cafes, and restaurants are all close by. Even closer to home, the neighborhood is lively with activity. You'll find a supermarket, yoga studio, and nail salon just steps away. At the heart of the community lies Brouwersplein, a playground where parents meet up. EspressoBar Gast is a local favorite and always a welcoming spot. The train station is a 6-minute bike ride away, with the forest, beach, and dunes also within a short cycling distance. Major roads are also easily accessible from this prime spot.
