Characterful 1930s Villa on the Spaarne with Private Jetty
Key Features
Upsides
- Private jetty on the Spaarne river with possibility for a boat up to 10 meters, offering direct access to open waterways.
- Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, providing privacy and convenience for residents or guests.
- The second floor is arranged as an independent apartment with kitchenette, bathroom, and roof terrace, suitable for use as a guesthouse or separate living space.
- Prime location on the historic Buitenrust estate grounds, within walking distance of Haarlem center and close to nature areas like Haarlemmerhout and Frederikspark.
- Extensive additional spaces including a 30-meter driveway with multiple car parking, indoor garage, and multiple basement rooms for storage or hobby purposes.
Downsides
- Energy label C is relatively modest for a property at this price point, indicating potential for further energy efficiency improvements.
- The property is semi-detached rather than fully detached, meaning shared walls with an adjacent property.
- The original four-bedroom configuration has been reduced to three bedrooms, which may limit appeal for larger families needing more sleeping rooms.
- At nearly 9,500 euros per square meter, the price per square meter is high even for a waterfront property in Haarlem.
- The 1933 construction year, despite full renovation, may still entail maintenance considerations typical of older properties.
