Floresstraat 472022 BC HaarlemMolukkenbuurt

A former church building with an impressive sense of space, light and character. This unique property combines original architecture with contemporary finishes and offers a substantial and luxurious home, several multifunctional spaces, a self-contained apartment and beautifully landscaped outdoor areas. High ceilings, large church windows and industrial details give the property a distinctive atmosphere. A rare opportunity for those who appreciate character, design and exceptional living. The entrance is located at the side of the building and opens directly into the spectacular ground-floor living space. With ceilings over 6.5 metres high, tall windows and a completely open-plan layout, this is undoubtedly the heart of the home. The sleek poured floor, exposed steel structures and minimalist finish create a striking contrast with the original ecclesiastical architecture. The various living areas flow naturally into one another, creating a calm and comfortable atmosphere. The Fred Constant kitchen complements the space perfectly and forms a stylish focal point. The generous island combines luxury with functionality, while the breakfast bar provides an inviting spot for a quick coffee or a glass of wine while cooking. The tall windows allow daylight to flood in throughout the day, further enhancing the exceptional sense of space. The upper floors also offer a wealth of possibilities. In addition to the bedrooms and bathrooms, there are several further rooms suitable for a home office, studio, hobby space, storage or guest accommodation. Various features remain from the period when the building housed a gym, including former changing rooms with lockers and old sauna and shower facilities. There is also a self-contained apartment, ideal for guests, live-in family or combining living and working. The outdoor areas have been carefully landscaped and form a green extension of the building. Several terraces, lawns, a timber deck and sheltered seating areas are surrounded by planting, bamboo and colourful borders. There are also three private parking spaces behind the gate. The authentic double church doors leading towards the tower further enhance the unique character of the property.
