Layout:
From the characteristic entrance with marble floors and original ceiling, you reach the second floor via an oak staircase. The apartment has a long hallway with a playful staircase halfway down, leading to the living room that stretches the length of the property. The en-suite with sliding doors divides the space into a cosy sitting area at the front and a wonderful kitchen/dining area at the back. In the front room, the pellet stove adds extra warmth and atmosphere, and the French doors to the balcony let in the fresh outside air. The kitchen/dining area at the rear is well-equipped, including a Quooker, 5-burner induction hob with extractor fan, oven, and dishwasher. Additionally, there are two built-in cupboards and plenty of space for a large dining table.

At the rear, you'll also find the spacious bedroom with built-in cupboards and French doors to the large south-facing terrace, where you can bask in the sun until late in the evening. The second, smaller bedroom/office is adjacent to the sitting room.

Further along the corridor, there’s a toilet, a storage closet with space for the washing machine and central heating system, and not to be forgotten, the stylish bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double sink, and terrazzo flooring.

Location:
The location in the Bos en Vaart district is fantastic! A wonderful place to live, right next to the Haarlemmerhout park. It’s a peaceful setting with plenty of greenery, but just a few minutes' bike ride away from the Vijfhoek, the start of the old town with its charming shops, excellent restaurants, lively squares with markets and terraces. Supermarkets, various schools, daycare, playgrounds, and sports fields are nearby. And if you want a little stroll (with the dog), the Haarlemmerhout is just around the corner. Runners can also easily burn off energy here. For even more nature, a short bike ride takes you to the Ramplaankwartier, Landgoed Elswout, Overveen, Bloemendaal, and the Kennemer dunes. In less than 30 minutes by bike, you’ll have your feet in the sand at the beach.

Want to leave the city? Living on the south side of Haarlem is close to the main roads Randweg and A9. Great bus connections and stops are just around the corner and take you within half an hour to Amsterdam, the Zuidas, or Schiphol. You can also quickly reach Haarlem or Heemstede station by bike. It’s a wonderful neighbourhood to live in!
