A unique opportunity! That's what this municipal monument is. Behind the picturesque facade lies a charming and surprisingly spacious home with a bright living room (formerly en-suite), separate kitchen, a large attached shed, and a deep garden facing southwest. Located in a picturesque street, close to the shops on Westergracht, within walking distance of the city center and cycling distance of the dunes. The ideal foundation for creating a lovely family home! On one hand, time seems to have stood still in this house from 1893: the beautiful original details from the construction period, such as stained glass windows, panel doors, and built-in cabinets in the living room, have been preserved. On the other hand, the central heating boiler was renewed two years ago. And that makes this house the ideal fixer-upper: much to cherish and a solid base to work with. The house features a spacious and bright living room (formerly en-suite) and a simple closed kitchen. There is plenty of storage space: there is a cellar under the kitchen, and behind the kitchen is a large attached heated shed. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, a large storage closet, and a big bathroom. The garden? It faces southwest. The house is located in a particularly charming street. The neighborhood, rich in historical value, is the result of an initiative taken by the Cooperative Building Association 'Ons Belang.' The design was drawn by the Haarlem architect M.A. Poel. Characteristic are the round or segmental arches above the facade openings, the stepped gables, decorative brick layers, and the overhanging gable roof with decorative bargeboards of the dormer window. These features have been particularly well-preserved in this house. Various schools, including the International School Haarlem, playgrounds, local shops, and supermarkets, as well as the 'new' Sint Bavo, can be found in the neighborhood, from which both Haarlem station and Heemstede-Aerdenhout station can be quickly reached. Also convenient? Less than a kilometer away, there is both a hardware store and a thrift store! Extremely handy for those planning to do renovations soon.
