Stuverstraat 4

Charming, Light-Filled Family Home with Plenty of Space in the Popular Garenkokerskwartier

Welcome to Stuverstraat 4, a beautifully maintained home where you immediately experience the charm of the past, combined with the space and comfort of modern living. Ceilings over three metres high, a beautiful bay window with stained glass and an inviting fireplace give this property its distinctive character. With 6 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a lovely, private rear garden, this is also a surprisingly spacious and practical family home.

The property was extensively renovated and modernised in 2006, with great care taken to preserve its original features. All plumbing and electrical installations were completely renewed, and all exterior walls were cleaned and repointed. The characteristic front façade was repointed using traditional tuckpointing techniques, in keeping with the home's original appearance.

In 2012, a spacious second-floor extension was added, carefully designed to blend naturally with the architectural style of the original property. The high-efficiency enclosed fireplace, installed in 2015, adds extra warmth and atmosphere to the living room.

The location is another wonderful feature of this home. In the Garenkokerskwartier, characteristic houses, waterways and a diverse mix of residents create a welcoming neighbourhood atmosphere. Neighbours know each other, there is a friendly sense of community, and local activities are regularly organised.

The property is situated on a charming, quiet street with access limited to local traffic, while Haarlem's vibrant city centre is literally just around the corner. Shops, restaurants, cafés, terraces and the cinema are all within easy walking distance. From the Garenkokerskade, you can even explore Haarlem by boat. Schools, the railway station and bus stops are nearby, while sports facilities, the beach, dunes and woodland areas are all easily accessible by bicycle.

Layout:

Ground Floor:
Entrance featuring a characteristic terrazzo floor, hallway and a deep understairs cupboard offering plenty of storage space.

The generous living room immediately impresses with its ceilings over three metres high and abundance of natural light. At the front, the beautiful bay window with stained-glass panels is a real eye-catcher, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the rear, large glass doors allow daylight to flood the room and provide direct access to the garden.

There is ample space for a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. The enclosed high-efficiency fireplace forms an attractive focal point in the living room.

The open-plan kitchen connects seamlessly with the living area and features modern built-in appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, dishwasher, spacious refrigerator and separate freezer.

French doors lead to the beautifully maintained, evergreen rear garden, which offers an exceptional degree of privacy. At the back of the garden is a spacious wooden storage shed.

First Floor:
This floor offers 3 bedrooms, one of which has access to a spacious balcony.

The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, shower, toilet and washbasin. An additional space on the landing houses the central heating boiler.

Second Floor:
The second floor provides another 3 bedrooms and a second bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin. There is also a practical laundry area on the landing, accommodating both the washing machine and tumble dryer.

This entire floor was added in 2012. Great care was taken to preserve the original character of the property, ensuring that the new addition blends beautifully with the existing architecture.

The result is a home that offers not only an impressive amount of space, but also a wonderful sense of harmony throughout: bright and full of character, practical for family life and retaining all the charm you would expect from a property of this period.
