Elegant Semi-Detached Villa in English Country House Style (approx. 231 m²), Ready for a complete renovation For those who can see beyond its current condition, this classic semi-detached villa on Oranjeplein presents a rare opportunity. With a generous living area of approximately 231 m² and a total volume of 948 m³, this is one of the larger family homes currently on the market. Built in 1913 in a beautiful English country house style, the property occupies a prominent and central position, almost as though Oranjeplein itself was originally designed around it. Let's be clear: this property requires complete modernisation from top to bottom. For buyers with the vision and resources, this is a unique opportunity to create a spacious, contemporary family home while preserving its impressive architecture and timeless character. Key Features & Highlights - Exceptional space: The property offers approximately 231 m² of living space, providing extraordinary flexibility when it comes to layout and design. - Grand proportions: Impressive ceiling heights of 3.35 metres on the ground floor and 3.10 metres on the first floor give the rooms a wonderful sense of space and grandeur. - Seven bedrooms/multi-purpose rooms: Spread across the first and second floors, the property offers no fewer than seven rooms, making it ideal for large families, an au pair, or several spacious home offices. - Authentic period features: Characteristic elements such as the original bay windows, stained-glass windows, classic panelled doors, wooden floorboards and a fireplace with decorative brickwork have been preserved and are waiting to be lovingly restored. Layout Ground Floor The side entrance leads into a hallway with a toilet and access to a practical 7 m² storage cellar, with a ceiling height of 1.73 metres. From the hallway, you enter the impressive living and dining room, arranged en suite and extending over 14 metres in depth. The living room is exceptionally spacious, measuring 4.88 metres in width, and features a wide, traditional bay window with beautiful glazing bars. From here, you can enjoy magnificent, uninterrupted views across the entire length of the leafy Oranjeplein, all the way to the waters of the Leidsevaart canal. At the rear of the property is a separate kitchen measuring 3.81 by 2.63 metres, which could easily be incorporated into the main living space as part of a renovation. First Floor The landing provides access to a separate toilet and bathroom. This floor accommodates three generously sized bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom at the rear features original French doors opening onto a deep roof terrace, measuring 3.75 metres in depth. The large bedroom at the front also benefits from a balcony. A charming detail is the connecting en-suite passage between these two bedrooms. A third bedroom at the front of the property also has access to a balcony. Second Floor This surprisingly spacious floor, situated beneath the sloping roof, offers another four bedrooms or multi-purpose rooms of varying sizes, together with several built-in cupboards. Ceiling heights reach up to 2.82 metres at the roof ridge, giving this floor a remarkably open and airy feel. Location & Surroundings Oranjeplein is situated in the highly sought-after Bosch en Vaart neighbourhood, renowned for its peaceful, elegant atmosphere and abundance of mature greenery. The villas and townhouses surrounding Oranjeplein were designed by various architects around the turn of the 20th century, giving each property its own distinctive character. Walking onto Oranjeplein almost feels like stepping back in time. The small park is accessible only to local traffic, making the surroundings particularly peaceful and, thanks in part to the fencing around the park, family-friendly. Here, you can enjoy the tranquillity of a classic Haarlem residential neighbourhood while remaining close to everything the city has to offer. The beautiful green spaces of De Hout and Elswout are within walking distance, as are Haarlem's vibrant city centre, local favourites such as greengrocer Jos and Garrone ice cream parlour, art studios, cafés and restaurants including Café Colette and Rigatoni. Cultural attractions and entertainment venues are also nearby, including the Frans Hals Museum, Teylers Museum, Toneelschuur theatre, Stadsschouwburg theatre and Philharmonie concert hall.
