Oostermoer 502036 BK HaarlemEllertsveld

Spacious family home with a deep backyard and two roof terraces. Open kitchen, a living room with a cozy fireplace, two bathrooms, and five bedrooms. The house is situated in a car-free courtyard in a green, and child-friendly neighborhood, within walking distance of the Molenplas recreation park and just a 15-minute bike ride from the center of Haarlem. Another plus? A private garage and a spacious storage shed. This lovely, spacious house with a stunning view of the green surroundings has a unique, charming layout with different zones. Relaxing and dining together are naturally separated by the central fireplace. The previous owner, a structural engineer, designed the home himself, resulting in a house with a warm character and a family-friendly design. The ground floor exudes a welcoming and warm atmosphere through its precise wooden details. The first floor, on the other hand, is an oasis of light, air and space. The custom-designed 'catwalk' with a mirrored wall and two identically sized bedrooms are truly unique! The third bedroom is extra spacious, with access from this bedroom to the (first) northeast-facing roof terrace that offers an unobstructed view of the green surroundings. The bathroom is large and features a bathtub. The second floor 'leads towards the sun' and includes clever and ingeniously designed storage spaces. At the rear of this floor, you'll find the 'sunroom', a bedroom with sliding doors opening onto the (second) southwest-facing roof terrace with a clear view past the surrounding houses. At the front of the house is the fifth bedroom, featuring a beautiful wooden built-in wardrobe with an integrated desk and bed. There is also a second spacious bathroom on this floor. The living environment is uniquely green, with Meerwijkplas and Molenplas recreation park within walking distance. In summer, this is a perfect place to cool off — both on a blanket in the grass and on the terrace of restaurant De Molenplas. Several schools, childcare options, and sports facilities are nearby, and the large shopping center with a lively Tuesday market is just a few minutes' walk away. Its location is also super central: public transport is within walking distance, and the A9/A5 highways are easily and quickly accessible via nearby main roads. The center of Haarlem is just a 15-minute bike ride away. Additionally, the Binnenweg and Jan van Goyenstraat in Heemstede are within easy reach.
