In the heart of historic Haarlem, between the Grote Markt and the station, lies this characteristic and surprisingly spacious upper apartment of approx. 121 m², with three bedrooms, a balcony, and a roof terrace. A home with a rare width, a unique character, and an exceptional location in the city center. The house has a special history: it has been lovingly and carefully inhabited and maintained within the same family since 1941. This long history is perceptible in the atmosphere and preservation of original elements. The extra-wide living space was created because the building once consisted of two homes (numbers 27 and 29). As a result, the property offers an invitingly wide living room, generous natural light, and beautiful visible beams that enhance the monumental character.
Location
The Kruisstraat is one of the oldest streets in Haarlem and forms an important historic connection between the Grote Markt and the station. It is a street where the rich history of the city is visible in every facade: authentic shops, old craft houses, monumental upper apartments, and characteristic details that still recall the former activity of the city center. At the same time, the Kruisstraat today is a quiet, car-free passage; a surprisingly calm spot in the middle of the city center. It is precisely this combination that makes the street so popular: the energy of Barteljorisstraat just around the corner, but without its crowds. Once you step outside the front door, you walk among the boutiques, coffee shops, and small specialty stores that make the Haarlem city center so special. Within a few minutes' walk, you will find the Grote Markt, the Concert Hall, Teylers Museum, the City Theater, the cinema, the Spaarne river, and numerous dining establishments. Haarlem’s NS station is close by, with fast connections to Amsterdam, Leiden, and Schiphol. For those who want to escape the city for a while, the beach and dunes of Bloemendaal and Zandvoort are just 20–30 minutes by bike. The Kruisstraat thus offers a rare living experience: historic, lively, and charming, yet quiet and comfortable at the same time. A place where daily city life is at your doorstep, and where you are in the heart of the Haarlem atmosphere within seconds.
