H.W. Mesdaglaan 12102 BB HeemstedeHeemsteedse Dreef, Schildersbuurt en omgeving

Fantastic family home! A charming and well-maintained 1930s property featuring five generous bedrooms, two bathrooms, beautifully landscaped front, side and rear gardens, a garage, and private driveway. Location? On the corner of the broad, green H.W. Mesdaglaan and Jan Steenlaan, just around the corner from the River Spaarne and the Bronsteevijver. This characterful corner house combines original period details with stylish finishes and a surprisingly spacious feel. On arrival, the unique corner plot stands out: the beautifully landscaped garden wraps around the house in a playful U-shape, offering a sunny or shaded spot at any time of day. Whether enjoying a coffee on the rear terrace or lunch and drinks by the French doors at the front – the southwest-facing orientation ensures sunlight throughout the day. Inside, you are greeted by original features such as a traditional granito floor and signature wall tiles in the entrance vestibule. The spacious living room features a classic en suite layout with sliding doors, built-in cabinets, and two charming fireplaces. The L-shaped sitting room at the front boasts a bay window and French doors opening onto the southwest-facing front garden, flooding the space with light. At the rear, the extended dining room, complete with gas fireplace and conservatory, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. This flows seamlessly into the dining area and semi-open kitchen, which includes an induction hob (Bosch), dishwasher, fridge-freezer, and oven (Studioline). Both the kitchen door and French doors provide direct access to the sunny rear garden, which offers several seating areas, two back entrances, and a detached brick garage. Upstairs is surprisingly spacious. The first floor comprises two generous bedrooms, a third room currently used as a study, and a modern bathroom. On the second floor are two more charming, well-proportioned bedrooms with dormer windows, a second contemporary bathroom, and a bright landing with built-in storage. Above, a cosy loft space offers an ideal play area or guest sleeping spot. The location is superb. The "Schildersbuurt" is open and green, family-friendly and social. In summer, it’s common to see children passing by with inflatable crocodiles and paddle boards, heading for the River Spaarne or the nearby Bronsteevijver. Perfect for swimming in summer, or with some luck, skating in winter. A lovely playground by the Spaarne is within walking distance. The Jan van Goyenstraat, with its range of specialist shops, cafés, and a supermarket, is just around the corner. Both the centres of Heemstede and Haarlem are just a 10-minute bike ride away, with excellent schools and sports facilities – including Koninklijke HFC – within walking distance. The beach at Zandvoort is a 20-minute cycle. Major roads to Amsterdam and Schiphol are also nearby. In short: a spacious and charming family home in an ideal location.
