Paul Krugerstraat 41-R2021 XM HaarlemGeneraalsbuurt

Living in a former church is something truly special, and you feel it the moment you step inside. This playfully laid-out maisonette forms part of the Elbakerk, which was completely redeveloped in 2001 into a small-scale, high-quality apartment complex. Authentic features such as the vaulted ceilings and original brickwork have been carefully preserved, giving the property a unique character combined with modern-day comfort. A major highlight is the spacious and openly positioned roof terrace facing southwest. Here you can enjoy plenty of privacy and unobstructed views of the surroundings – a wonderful place to sit outdoors from early spring through long summer evenings. In addition, the apartment features a west-facing loggia directly accessible from the bedroom. These two pleasant outdoor spaces make living here exceptionally comfortable. The property is spread over multiple levels and has a playful layout with an abundance of natural light and height. The combination of high ceilings, exposed brick arches and Gothic-style windows creates an atmosphere rarely found. At the same time, the apartment is well insulated, fully double-glazed and practically designed for everyday living. The location is ideal: just around the corner from the Cronjéstraat with a wide variety of shops, and the Spaarneboog shopping centre offering amenities such as Vomar, Action, a climbing wall and a gym. The train station is only a 3-minute bike ride away, and a 10-minute walk brings you to the centre of Haarlem. If you wish to enjoy nature, you can reach the city park “De Bolwerken” in no time, and within 15 minutes by bike you’ll be at the entrances of the Kennemer Dunes, Elswout Estate and Kraantje Lek. LAYOUT 3rd floor Entrance hall with access to the spacious bedroom. From the bedroom there is direct access to the west-facing loggia, a pleasant spot to sit outside. This floor also includes the bathroom (renovated in 2023), a separate toilet, meter cupboard, storage cupboard with central heating system, and practical storage space with fitted wardrobes and a cupboard with dryer connection. 4th floor The living level forms the heart of the apartment. A charming living room with dining area, characterised by beautiful vaulted ceilings, original brickwork and an oak wooden floor. The playful layout creates several seating and living areas without losing the open feel. The compact kitchen adjoins the living area and is fitted with various built-in appliances. From the living room, you can access the generous roof terrace. Thanks to its open position, southwest orientation and high level of privacy, this is an outdoor space you will truly use, offering open views over the surroundings and nearby buildings. 5th floor On the top floor there is a second bedroom with an adjoining separate closet, ideal as a walk-in wardrobe or additional storage space. There is also a mezzanine/storage loft within the church’s roof structure. The loft has a height of approximately 3.8 metres and features an impressive open roof construction.
