Plataanstraat 402023 SE HaarlemBomenbuurt-west

A lovely family home! A wonderfully light house, partly thanks to the windows on the side. With no fewer than five bedrooms and two bathrooms, a sunny garden with a detached shed and rear access. In the popular Bomenbuurt neighbourhood, bordering Kleverpark, within cycling distance of the central station and the centre of Haarlem. Stepping inside this semi-detached family home feels like coming home. It is a place lived in with great love, where cosiness takes centre stage. The ground floor is designed for family life; a spacious living room with a sitting area in the middle. At the rear, the fantastic open-plan kitchen was completed in 2021. With a large cooking island and luxury built-in appliances, this is a real eye-catcher. As soon as the sun comes out, the French doors can be opened, bringing the south-east facing garden into the home. The detached shed has an access door at the rear leading directly onto the square; ideal for a motorbike or cargo bike. On the first floor are three bedrooms and the bathroom. The bedrooms at the rear are surprisingly deep and therefore very spacious. The biggest surprise is the second floor. The addition of the loft has created plenty of extra living space. From the room at the front, you can easily look out over the neighbouring houses, all the way to the dunes. This is the west-facing side and a lovely spot to enjoy the sunset. The master bedroom at the rear has a luxurious en-suite bathroom and a French balcony. A lovely parents’ floor or a place for guests to retreat to. Quote from the sellers; We stumbled upon our new home by chance, but weren’t actually looking to move away from here at all. We have lovingly renovated this house to live in ourselves for many years to come. The neighbourhood is brilliant. A number of houses in the row have recently been sold, all to young couples or families. So it really is a lovely place to start making the new neighbourhood your own together with the neighbours. The location is perfect: close to various shops for daily shopping, the Haarlem bakery and the Cronjé shopping street, several (primary) schools, including the International School, playgrounds, the Zaanenbos and public transport. There are many sports clubs and the ice rink is nearby. The bustling centre of Haarlem, Haarlem railway station, the dunes and the beach are all within cycling distance.
