Beschrijving
This modern extended family home is situated on a traffic-free residential courtyard in a quiet and central location within Haarlem. The property presents itself as a well-maintained single-family dwelling that has been thoughtfully extended to provide additional living space on the ground floor. The home was originally built in 2002 and benefits from a contemporary layout that suits modern family living requirements.
The location on a car-free residential area means that children can play safely outside, making this an particularly attractive option for families with young children. Despite the peaceful setting, the property is conveniently positioned close to a wide range of amenities. Haarlem city centre is within easy reach, along with various shops, schools, and public transport connections. Major roads are also accessible, facilitating convenient travel by car to surrounding areas. Sports facilities and recreational opportunities are available in the immediate vicinity, contributing to the overall appeal of the location.
The ground floor has been extended to create a spacious and bright living area. The living room features French doors that open directly onto the rear garden, allowing natural light to enter and providing a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Adjacent to the living room is a modern open-plan kitchen that comes equipped with various built-in appliances. This arrangement creates a practical and sociable space for cooking and spending time together as a family. A notable feature of the entire ground floor is the presence of comfortable underfloor heating, which contributes to a pleasant living environment throughout the colder months.
The first floor of the property accommodates the main sleeping quarters. There are three bedrooms in total on this level, with two positioned at the front of the property and one at the rear. The bathroom on this floor is well-appointed and includes a shower, a bathtub, a washbasin, and a second toilet. This configuration provides convenience for a family, as the additional toilet reduces pressure on the main bathroom during busy morning routines.
The second floor comprises a landing area and a spacious attic bedroom. This room has been enhanced with a dormer window, which increases the usable floor space and allows additional natural light to enter. A built-in cupboard on this level houses the central heating boiler, keeping this utility element neatly concealed while maintaining easy access for maintenance purposes.
The property has a total living area of approximately 110 square metres, which is complemented by 6 square metres of external storage space. The plot size is 105 square metres. The internal volume of the home is 386 cubic metres. The rear garden measures 27 square metres, with dimensions of approximately 5.98 metres in depth and 4.54 metres in width. The garden is positioned on the northeast side of the property and is accessible via a rear path. The garden area includes a wooden storage shed, providing useful space for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an Energy Label A rating, which indicates a high level of thermal performance. This rating is supported by comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The heating system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler that provides both central heating and hot water. Mechanical ventilation is installed to ensure adequate air circulation throughout the home.
The roof is a traditional pitched roof covered with tiles, which is a common and durable roofing solution for Dutch residential properties. The property is classified as an existing build, having been constructed in 2002, and is offered with partial furnishing. The cadastral designation for the property is HAARLEM Q 1789, with a plot area of 105 square metres under full ownership.
Parking for the property is available through public on-street parking in the surrounding area. The property is located in a residential neighbourhood on a quiet road, consistent with the traffic-free courtyard setting described in the listing. Both a rear garden and a front garden are present, though the front garden area is not specifically quantified in the property details.
The asking price for this property is set at 600,000 euros, which is offered on a buyer pays costs basis. This translates to approximately 5,455 euros per square metre of living space. The property is currently available on the market, and the completion date is to be agreed upon between the buyer and seller. The property is presented as a wonderful family home that combines a peaceful residential setting with convenient access to urban amenities.
The ground floor layout consists of an entrance hall with a meter cupboard, the extended living room with French doors to the garden, and the modern open-plan kitchen. This straightforward arrangement makes efficient use of the available space while maintaining a sense of openness and connectivity. The extension to the living room has clearly added value to the property, creating a more generous reception area than would typically be found in a standard terraced home of this era.
The property is a terraced house, meaning it shares party walls with neighbouring properties on both sides. This is a common housing type in Dutch residential areas and typically offers a good balance between affordability, energy efficiency, and living space. The construction date of 2002 places the property in a period when building standards were already relatively high, which is reflected in the comprehensive insulation and the achievement of an Energy Label A rating.
The presence of four bedrooms across the first and second floors makes this property well-suited to family use, with the option to use the attic room as a home office, guest room, or additional child's bedroom depending on the needs of the occupants. The bathroom facilities are complete with both a shower and a bathtub, offering flexibility for different preferences and routines.
