Twijnderslaan 292012 BG HaarlemWelgelegen

What a lovely family home on the popular, quiet and leafy Twijnderslaan, on the edge of Haarlem’s historic centre! Bright, surprisingly spacious and featuring a fantastic kitchen-diner in the large extension. With five bedrooms, two bathrooms and a charming courtyard garden with rear access. A lovely combination of period charm and modern living. In the sought-after Welgelegen neighbourhood, with (international) schools, childcare, playgrounds, sports facilities and public transport nearby. -A fantastic living space- Spacious and wonderfully bright! On entering, the impressive steel-framed glass façade at the rear immediately catches the eye, with floor-to-ceiling glazing. The large extension has created a beautiful kitchen-diner, undoubtedly one of the best spots in the house! The kitchen features a long run of units with ample worktop space, integrated appliances and a poured floor with underfloor heating. Perfect for cooking, entertaining friends or family meals. The tall glass façade floods the room with daylight and connects it beautifully to the courtyard garden. The living room has solid wooden flooring and a cosy seating area in the centre of the house. -A lovely outdoor space- The courtyard garden is green and sheltered, offering plenty of privacy and convenient rear access. On sunny days, the front of the house is equally pleasant, with wide pavements along Twijnderslaan where children can play outside. There is also planning permission for a roof terrace, offering further potential for outdoor space. -Plenty of room for the whole family- And upstairs, the house continues to impress! The first floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom with a bath and shower. The two front rooms are currently used as a bedroom and a chill-out room. These can easily be combined into one generous bedroom. In 2005, a full second floor was added. A fantastic addition, with a spacious principal bedroom and en-suite bathroom, a separate laundry room and another large bedroom, currently used as an office. This room even offers views of the Grote or St Bavo's Church! With five bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of separate spaces, this is a wonderful family home with room for sleeping, playing and working from home. -A popular neighbourhood, greenery and the city nearby- The location is excellent! The sought-after Welgelegen neighbourhood is a leafy, characterful residential area within walking distance of Haarlem's city centre. Haarlemmerhout park and Frederikspark are just around the corner, as are the centre's shops, restaurants, cafés, terraces and cultural attractions. (International) schools, childcare, playgrounds and sports facilities are also nearby. The railway station is a short cycle ride away, with easy access to major roads. Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport are approximately 30 minutes away, while direct buses serve the Zuidas business district. The beach and dunes are also within cycling distance. An excellent location!
