Pieter Kiesstraat 79-RD2013 BG HaarlemGarenkokerskwartier

Fantastic ‘one of a kind’ double top-floor apartment! Comprehensively renovated and transformed into a multifunctional residence in 2020, this stunning property offers a unique living experience with a generous living space of 190m², a rare find in Haarlem. Thanks to its layout, it features two modern kitchens, two luxurious bathrooms, and two roof terraces, making it incredibly versatile. Situated in one of Haarlem’s most desirable neighborhoods, the Garenkokerskwartier, it strikes the perfect balance between tranquility and centrality, with shops around the corner and public transport, schools, and playgrounds within easy reach. This spacious double top-floor apartment is part of a historic building, previously Haarlem’s milk factory. One of the highlights of this home is its layout, as it functions as two properties in one. From the first-floor landing, you can choose: head straight for one part of the residence, or turn left for the other. Each part comes with its own modern kitchen, elegant bathroom, and private roof terrace, making it ideal for ‘living-apart-together,’ co-living with teenagers, or even setting up a home office or professional space. Entering through the landing and continuing straight ahead, you arrive at the open kitchen, the heart of the residence: an atmospheric place where cooking, eating and being together merge seamlessly. The sleek black cabinetry lends a modern aesthetic, while the standout kitchen island with its wooden breakfast bar and gold accents adds a touch of elegance. Adjacent to the kitchen is a stunning living room with high ceilings, exposed dark wooden beams, and large windows, creating a loft-like vibe. Bathed in natural light, this room is a serene and luxurious space for relaxation. Step through the doors to the expansive southeast-facing roof terrace, newly installed in 2022. On the other side of the kitchen is a very spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. This bathroom is a true showstopper: a chic standalone bubble bath, a luxurious sink vanity, and the pièce de résistance—a ‘shower boulevard’ boasting a double rain shower and a sunshower. Electric underfloor heating further enhances the indulgent feel of this space. Turning left from the first-floor landing, you enter the charming and cozy kitchen of the smaller section of the home. The vibrant green cabinetry and playful design create an instantly welcoming vibe. A compact dining area with a bar table offers a perfect spot to gather and enjoy meals. From this section, a staircase leads to the second floor, where a second spacious and inviting living area has been created. This level also features two bedrooms. The first is uniquely designed with a sloped ceiling and large skylights, letting in an abundance of natural light and even allowing for stargazing at night—a truly magical experience. The second bedroom is perfect as a guest or study room. This level also has access to a second southwest-facing roof terrace, an ideal spot to unwind while enjoying sunset views. In short, this floor is designed to be both practical and serene. Location The Pieter Kiesstraat is situated in one of Haarlem’s most charming neighborhoods. Known for its narrow streets and characteristic houses, the Garenkokerskwartier offers a central, quiet, and pleasant atmosphere. Within a short walk, you’ll find the Kenaupark, local shops, and Haarlem's vibrant city center.
