Kampervest 35

The smallest canal house in Haarlem – big on charm and views!

On the edge of Haarlem's lively city centre, at Kampvest 35, lies this unique and characterful canal house. With open views over the water of the Kampervest and the canal, this may be the smallest canal house in Haarlem – but it certainly has a big personality.

The ground floor offers a bright living room with an open kitchen, where the large skylight provides extra daylight and a spacious feeling. The modern bathroom was partially renovated in 2025 and there is a separate toilet and a storage cupboard.
On the first floor is a cosy bedroom with a beamed ceiling and access to a cosy roof terrace — a wonderful place to sit outside in the shelter.
The top floor offers a second bedroom with beamed ceiling and dormer window.

The location is ideal: Haarlem's city centre is literally around the corner, with cafés, restaurants, shops and culture within easy reach. Haarlem station, city parks and roads to Amsterdam and the beach are also within easy reach.

Living environment.
You will be living in one of the most beautiful spots in Haarlem: on the waterfront, on the edge of the old town and within walking distance of the centre. It is not without reason that Haarlem is known as one of the most enjoyable city trips in the Netherlands. The city on the Spaarne river enchants with its monumental buildings, atmospheric canals and countless restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques with character.
The Grote Markt and Botermarkt are bustling with weekly markets full of delicacies and curiosities. There is also always something to do in terms of culture, from museums and theatres to parks and cinemas.
Fancy some peace and quiet and nature? Take a walk through the Kenaupark or the Haarlemmerhout – the oldest urban forest in the Netherlands – or cycle to the dunes and the beach at Bloemendaal or Zandvoort in twenty minutes.
Bus stops are just around the corner, with connections to Amsterdam, the Zuidas and Schiphol. Haarlem station and the main roads are within easy reach. The property is located in the “Binnenstad” parking permit area, where one permit per address is available without a waiting period. The De Kamp and Houtplein car parks are only a 5-minute walk away.
