Nobelstraat 6-A2011 TX HaarlemBinnenstad

A spectacular and stylishly designed loft offering an impressive living area of approximately 267 m² and a wonderfully sunny, private courtyard garden of around 45 m². The building originally served as the tram depot for the famous ‘Blauwe Tram’, which connected Haarlem with Zandvoort. It is situated on a quiet, traffic-calmed street in the heart of Haarlem’s historic city centre. The entrance is separated from Nobelstraat by a secure gate, allowing you to enjoy exceptional peace and privacy both inside the property and in the garden, while the lively atmosphere and charm of Haarlem’s city centre are just around the corner. This is a prime location from which to enjoy everything Haarlem has to offer culturally, with numerous restaurants and terraces within walking distance. The property is located just around the corner from the Grote Markt and Nieuwe Groenmarkt, which was recently made traffic-calmed and will be completely redesigned in 2026. The asphalt will be removed and replaced by two rows of trees, while a historic water well will also be created. The result will be a beautiful square that blends seamlessly with its historic surroundings. Within just a few minutes’ walk, you can reach Haarlem railway station, as well as the city’s many beautiful squares, restaurants, cafés, museums and theatres, including the Toneelschuur and Philharmonie, not to mention the lively weekly markets. The A9 towards Amsterdam and the A5 towards The Hague can both be reached within approximately ten minutes. Parking is relatively easy in this quieter part of the city centre, and there are around twenty public electric vehicle charging points just around the corner. Layout Ground floor: Entrance through a secure gate onto the property’s private, paved forecourt. Wide double doors open into the spectacular L-shaped living space, which spans an impressive 17 metres in width. The ceiling height of almost 3.5 metres further enhances the exceptional sense of space. The property’s industrial character is emphasised by the concrete floor with underfloor heating, steel columns, rear wall finished in béton ciré and the exposed, robust ceiling beams. Large windows and glass façades allow an abundance of natural light to enter. The ground floor has a total floor area of approximately 150 m², offering countless possibilities for creating separate seating, dining and lounge areas. The beautiful open-plan kitchen features a large cooking island with a welcoming bar seating area. It is also equipped with high-end Gaggenau integrated appliances, an induction hob with integrated extraction and a large climate-controlled wine cabinet. Steel-framed French doors provide access to the rear garden. The garden features timber decking and offers ample room for both a lounge and dining area. It is the perfect place to relax on a summer’s day or enjoy drinks with friends. Thanks to the relatively low surrounding buildings, the garden enjoys sunshine throughout the day. An open staircase in the centre of the living room leads to the first floor. First floor: Spacious landing featuring an exposed roof ridge with a height of almost five metres. Large Velux roof windows have been installed to provide additional natural light, while wide dormer windows can be found at both the front and rear. This level also accommodates the connections for the washing machine and dryer, as well as the central heating system. Thanks to the large stairwell opening, the space has the feel of a mezzanine. On the right-hand side is the first exceptionally spacious bedroom, where the striking roof trusses remain visible. This room also features a wide dormer window and additional storage space on the loft level. The bedroom has a generous dressing room of approximately 10 m² and its own private bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a spacious walk-in shower with a glass screen, a wide vanity unit with a stone washbasin, wall-mounted taps and a toilet. On the opposite side of the property is the second, equally spacious bedroom, which also benefits from a similarly sized dressing room. The adjoining bathroom can still be completed entirely according to your own taste and preferences. The floor has already been poured and all necessary connections are in place.
