Korte Spaarne 172011 AJ HaarlemBurgwal

Directly on the Spaarne River, next to the beautifully restored Gravestenenbrug, you will find this well-maintained and very charming canal house built in 1872. This unique city residence features a luxurious living kitchen, four bedrooms, a cozy patio, and a terrace. Along with the many boats passing by in all shapes and sizes, you’ll enjoy views of the illuminated Bakenesser Tower, the Grote or St. Bavo Church, the Teylers Museum, and other monumental buildings across the water. Location: The canal house is just a few minutes’ walk from Haarlem’s city center, with its many shopping streets, cultural highlights, lively nightlife, the Grote Markt, the train station, and the Haarlemmerhout—the oldest city forest in the Netherlands. Within a few minutes by car you can reach the main highways to Amsterdam, Schiphol, Utrecht, and The Hague. Layout Ground floor: Entrance, hallway with meter cupboard and wardrobe. At the front, the recently renovated luxury kitchen (2023) with a cooking island with seating for four. The island and worktop are made of Dekton. The kitchen is custom-made and fitted with tall cabinets up to the ceiling. The walls are partly finished with exclusive *béton ciré*. It is equipped with various built-in appliances such as a Quooker, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, induction hob with integrated extractor, and a combi oven. The ground floor has recently been fitted with a foam concrete floor, and the existing foundation has been reinforced. In the hallway you’ll find a custom-made tall cabinet, a storage cupboard under the stairs, a cupboard for the washing machine and dryer, and a luxurious, beautifully tiled toilet. The master bedroom is a wonderfully spacious room with high ceilings and French doors leading to the patio. There is ample room to add additional wardrobes if desired. The adjoining luxurious bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower with a glass screen, a vanity unit with two taps, and a heated towel rail. The bathroom also has comfortable underfloor heating. The atmospheric patio radiates monumental character, with centuries-old walls surrounding it—a perfect spot to quietly enjoy a morning coffee. First floor: Landing with a stylish, luxuriously tiled toilet with washbasin in the same design as the downstairs toilet. From here, access to the lovely terrace where you can enjoy the sun for several hours in summer. The spacious L-shaped living room is the showpiece of the house. It is light-filled, with high ceilings and an oak herringbone parquet floor. At the front, three large windows offer a stunning view over the Spaarne and the historic buildings on the opposite bank. Second floor: Landing with Velux skylight. Two bedrooms at the rear and one bedroom with a dormer window at the front, again with a magnificent wide view. There is also a storage space with the central heating system. The walls on this floor are non-load-bearing, so the layout can easily be changed. From the landing, you have access to the spacious attic storage with full standing height.
