- Location in the sought-after Oosterduinkwartier neighbourhood provides a quiet, family-friendly environment close to nature reserves, the beach, and Haarlem city centre.

Description
The property is located on Duinroosplantsoen in the Oosterduinkwartier neighbourhood, situated on the border of Haarlem and Aerdenhout. This terraced house was built around 1960 and stands on 138 square metres of freehold land, with a total plot size of 156 square metres. The living area measures 138 square metres according to the NEN measurement report, and the building has a volume of 485 cubic metres.
The ground floor features a bright living room with large windows at both the front and rear, allowing natural light to enter throughout the day. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the property and provides direct access to the south-facing garden. The garden has been attractively landscaped with green planting and includes a practical storage shed. A rear access path provides convenient entry to the garden without going through the house.
The first floor contains three bedrooms, all equipped with built-in wardrobes for practical storage. The rear bedroom offers access to a balcony that overlooks the garden. This floor also houses the main bathroom, which is fitted with a shower and washbasin, as well as a separate toilet.
The second floor provides generous additional living space with three further bedrooms and a spacious storage room. The presence of a dormer window and roof windows ensures that this level receives ample daylight, making it fully functional as living accommodation rather than just storage space.
A detached garage of approximately 17 square metres is located behind the property. This garage is offered separately for an asking price of 48,500 euros costs buyer. The garage has an electrical connection and can accommodate one vehicle, or alternatively serve as additional storage space.
The property has undergone a structural survey, with the report available for inspection by interested parties. The foundation is a brick foundation, which provides a solid base for the building. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Tzerra combination boiler installed in 2018, supplemented by a close-in boiler. The property has a three-phase electrical connection.
In terms of insulation, the property features roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. These measures contribute to the C energy label. The WOZ value as of 1 January 2025 has been assessed at 691,000 euros.
The Oosterduinkwartier neighbourhood is characterised by its quiet, green, and family-friendly atmosphere. The area features wide streets and ample parking facilities. Within short distance are several notable natural areas including the Elswout Estate, Duinvliet nature reserve, the dunes, and the beach. Schools, sports clubs, and public transport connections are all readily accessible. The centre of Haarlem and Heemstede-Aerdenhout railway station can both be reached by bicycle.
The property is offered at an asking price of 799,000 euros costs buyer, which equates to approximately 5,790 euros per square metre of living space. The delivery date is to be agreed upon between buyer and seller, and the transfer of ownership will be handled through the seller's chosen notary.
The property is listed as partially furnished, suggesting that some items may be included in the sale. The building has a gabled roof covered with tiles, which is typical for Dutch residential properties of this era.
With six bedrooms spread across three floors, this property offers considerable flexibility for various household configurations. The space could accommodate a large family, provide home office space, or offer guest accommodation as needed. The combination of a south-facing garden, balcony, and multiple windows ensures good natural light throughout the property.
The asking price for the main property is 799,000 euros costs buyer. If the purchaser also wishes to acquire the garage, the total investment would be 847,500 euros costs buyer. Potential buyers should factor in the additional cost of the garage if this space is required for parking or storage purposes.
The location on the border of Haarlem and Aerdenhout offers the advantage of access to amenities in both areas. Haarlem's city centre provides a wide range of shopping, dining, and cultural options, whilst the more rural character of Aerdenhout and its surroundings offers a peaceful residential environment. The proximity to the dunes and beach is a particular attraction for those who enjoy outdoor activities and coastal landscapes.
The property's construction date of around 1960 places it in the post-war building period in the Netherlands. Properties from this era typically feature solid construction but may require updating to meet contemporary standards of comfort and energy efficiency. The current owner has maintained the property well, and the presence of a relatively modern boiler from 2018 indicates that some updates have been carried out. The energy label C suggests that there is room for improvement in terms of energy efficiency, which could be addressed through further insulation measures or the installation of solar panels, for example.
The fact that a structural survey has been conducted and is available for inspection provides transparency regarding the building's condition. This is a valuable resource for prospective buyers who wish to understand the property's structural status before committing to a purchase.
The freehold ownership of the land is a significant advantage, as it means there are no leasehold payments to consider. The entire 138 square metre plot, plus the separate 18 square metre plot on which the garage stands, are both owned outright.
The three-phase electrical connection is a practical feature that allows for the use of heavier electrical appliances if desired, such as an electric vehicle charger or more powerful kitchen equipment.
The property's position on a quiet road within a residential area contributes to a peaceful living environment. The presence of other families in the neighbourhood, as indicated by the description of the area as child-friendly, suggests that this is an established residential community.
The south-facing aspect of the garden is considered desirable in the Netherlands, as it maximises sunlight exposure throughout the day, particularly during the summer months. This makes the garden more enjoyable for outdoor activities and can also contribute to passive solar heating of the property.
The balcony on the first floor provides an additional outdoor space that can be used for relaxation or as a vantage point to overlook the garden. This feature adds to the overall livability of the property, particularly during warmer weather.
The storage shed in the garden offers practical space for gardening equipment, bicycles, or other items that are used seasonally. This helps to keep the main living areas of the property free from clutter.
The external storage space of 24 square metres, which likely includes the shed and possibly other storage areas, provides additional capacity beyond what might be found in a typical terraced house of this size.
The building's volume of 485 cubic metres, combined with the 138 square metres of living space and 6 square metres of external living space, indicates a property with good ceiling heights and a sense of spaciousness that belies its terraced nature.
For families with children, the proximity to schools and sports clubs is a practical advantage. The child-friendly nature of the neighbourhood also suggests the presence of play areas and other amenities that cater to younger residents.
The accessibility of public transport, particularly the nearby Heemstede-Aerdenhout station, provides convenient connections to other parts of the region for those who commute by train. The major roads in the vicinity also facilitate car travel to destinations further afield.
The property's six bedrooms represent a notable feature for a terraced house. Many similar properties in the Netherlands offer three or four bedrooms, making this property particularly attractive for larger families or those who require additional rooms for home working, hobbies, or guest accommodation.
The second floor, with its three bedrooms and storage room, demonstrates that the full height of the property has been utilised to maximise living space. The dormer window and roof windows have been installed to ensure that this level is not just usable but genuinely comfortable as living accommodation.
The partial furnishing mentioned in the listing details could be an advantage for buyers who are looking for a property that is ready to move into with minimal additional expenditure on furniture and fittings. However, buyers should clarify exactly which items are included and ensure these meet their requirements and preferences.
