Countryside living on the Spaarne! An experiential detached villa "Spaan Lommer" with a unique location. Featuring a living room with a conservatory, modern kitchen-living area, studio/workroom, six bedrooms, a bathroom, a delightful garden surrounding the home, and a complete in-house studio with its own entrance. Situated in a quiet, rural setting in close proximity to Haarlem and Heemstede, you’ll experience the best of both worlds: the tranquility of the countryside combined with the convenience of nearby city life. What a wonderful place to live! Here you truly become one with nature. From every room, you have a splendid view over the Spaarne. Every season offers its own unique atmosphere. Moreover, there is a beautiful garden with many fruit trees and cozy seating areas, where you can enjoy all that grows and blossoms. The villa has been in the family for almost 50 years and has always been lived in with love and joy. You enter through the garden to the front door, which is located in the center of the house. From there, you step into the vestibule featuring beautiful original floor tiles. In the central hall, antique floor tiles are laid out, and there is a staircase to the first floor. At the front is a bright room, currently used as a studio. The modern kitchen-living area, equipped with full appliances, is situated at the heart of the home and offers plenty of space for a large dining table. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a cozy and extended dinner with family or friends. The spacious living room at the front of the house stands out with its abundant natural light and charming bay window, offering a beautiful view of the Spaarne. To the side, there is a generous conservatory where you can fully enjoy the sunlight thanks to the extensive glazing. Furthermore, the living room features a fireplace with a wood stove. At the rear, there is an additional entrance to the garden, complete with a cloakroom and a toilet. Through the kitchen, you enter the spacious studio. This studio has its own entrance along with a living room featuring French doors leading to a private terrace, a kitchenette, a sleeping area, and a bathroom with a toilet, bathtub, and fixed washbasin. It is ideal for a live-in au pair, parents, guest accommodation, or older children who wish to have their “own space.” On the first floor, there is a generous landing. There are no less than six bedrooms with the possibility of a seventh. The front bedroom is not only very spacious but also features a cozy wood stove, a balcony at the front, and a large mezzanine. Each bedroom has a unique view over the Spaarne. The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower, a fixed sink unit, a toilet, a bidet, and a lovely granite floor. There is also an access hatch to the attic with plenty of storage space, as well as the location for the central heating boilers (2x). The villa is located on a quiet road along the Spaarne. It boasts a magnificent rural setting amid nature while still being very central in relation to the center of Haarlem and the center of Heemstede—with popular shopping streets like the Binnenweg and Jan van Goyenstraat. Several primary and secondary schools and sports facilities, including Racketclub Overhout, are in the immediate vicinity, and with the highways towards Amsterdam, Schiphol, Hoofddorp, and the coastal dune area, you also have ample possibilities for residential, work and recreational traffic.
