Description
Welcome to this charming gem located in the heart of Haarlem city center. This unique property offers charm, space, and an excellent location. Built in 1890, the house is in a good state of repair both inside and out and exudes classic elegance. With a living area of 61 square meters spread over three floors, this is a fully fledged city house with plenty of room and functionality.
The location is exceptional, situated in the middle of the center of Haarlem, specifically in the De Vijfhoek area. This is a lively environment with all amenities such as shops, restaurants, cozy terraces, and cultural hotspots within a stone's throw away. Despite being in the middle of the center, it is a quiet and green area. In the summer, the residents live on the street and everyone knows each other. The neighborhood is easily accessible by car, and public transport is also well organized.
The layout of the property is practical and well distributed over the floors. On the ground floor, you will find the comfortable living kitchen. The kitchen is of the living kitchen type, meaning there is enough space to cook and relax in the same space. It is very common in the De Vijfhoek, but also very cozy, to sit on a bench or chair at the front facade outside and enjoy drinks with neighbors. Behind the living kitchen is a utility room with the connection for the washing machine and dryer, a sink, and the central heating boiler. This space also offers necessary storage space and can possibly be used as a bicycle storage. In the center of Haarlem, there are also many communal bicycle sheds, which is very convenient. The toilet is located under the stairs.
The first floor consists of a bright living room with a staircase to the top floor. The frames here have been replaced and are equipped with insulating glass, although they are almost indistinguishable from the authentic frames, which is very comfortable. On this floor, the bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin cabinet. The space has daylight through the roof window and is equipped with underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation.
On the top floor, you will find a spacious bedroom with fixed closets. At the front, there is a dormer window across the entire width and at the rear a skylight through which the flat roof of the bathroom is accessible. A permit is required for an official roof terrace. The skylight can also be replaced by a French balcony with patio doors for instance.
There is no garden with this house, but that does not make the location in the city any less attractive. With the cozy streets of Haarlem as your garden, there is always something to do or see.
The property is located within a protected cityscape. The street is wide, making it feel very spacious. The central heating boiler is an Intergas model from 2009. The electrical system is modern with four groups and an earth leakage circuit breaker. The ground floor is made of concrete. The wooden frames are equipped with insulating glass. The property is available immediately. Parking is paid or with a permit. Public transport accessibility is good.
The property is offered with a non-residency clause applicable and no list of items applies, meaning the home will be delivered as seen during the viewing.
