LET'S TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR!
- GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT / OFFICE
French doors open up to a tiled entrance area, perfect for bikes, for example. Modern utility closet. Adjacent, a large space (almost 13 meters deep) featuring a stylish open kitchen fully equipped with an induction hob, extractor fan, oven, fridge/freezer combination, and dishwasher. An ideal space for a living room, studio, or office.
Beyond this area, there are three rooms, all with balanced ventilation and natural light from skylights. Two of these rooms each have an en-suite private bathroom, both stylishly finished with a walk-in shower, washbasin unit, and toilet. Off the main space is a third separate toilet with a small sink.
Open the French doors and enjoy the morning sun and boats passing by!
This floor features sleek wall and ceiling finishes, a herringbone PVC floor in the living areas, and tasteful tiling in the wet areas. The floor has its own central heating system, is equipped with underfloor heating, and features balanced ventilation with a heat recovery system (HRV). In short: perfectly finished down to the last detail!
- UPPER APARTMENT
Entrance through the authentic front door at street level. Space for coats, an internal door to the ground floor area, and stairs leading up. The staircase still features original wood carvings with beautiful banisters and handrails.
Hallway with double glass doors opening into the living room. Wow, what a delightful living space with a stunning view of the curve in the Spaarne. At the front, two large casement windows (that can fully open) with a window seat and a cozy sitting area with a gas fireplace. You won’t want to leave.
At the back, there’s a spacious kitchen-diner with a generous dining area, internal storage cupboard, and L-shaped kitchen. The kitchen is stylishly fitted with walnut fronts, a stone countertop, and fully built-in appliances such as a dishwasher, induction hob with integrated extractor, Quooker tap, dishwasher, large oven, combination oven/microwave, and fridge/freezer.
The door leads us to another unique feature of this property: the stunning west-facing rooftop terrace! On this nearly 60m² terrace, you can literally count church towers, enjoy the sun all day long, and feel completely at peace in the heart of the city—perhaps even on one of the best spots in Haarlem’s historic centre.
Let’s go upstairs! Here you'll find three rooms. At the front and back are two generously sized bedrooms, both filled with natural light, located under charming roof trusses with high ceilings and each fitted with air conditioning. The third room has a skylight and is ideal as a walk-in closet or home office. The bathroom is beautifully finished and features a walk-in shower, freestanding bathtub, second toilet, and double washbasin.
The upper apartment also boasts sleek wall and ceiling finishes, a herringbone PVC floor in the living spaces, elegant stair coverings, and stylish tiles in the wet areas with mechanical ventilation. The living floor features underfloor heating, and the bedrooms are fitted with radiators.
THE LOCATION:
Right in the heart of Haarlem’s historic city centre—literally everything is just a stone’s throw away! A short bike ride takes you to the dunes or the beach, and by car or public transport you can easily reach Schiphol, Amsterdam, Leiden, and The Hague.
