Spacious 1930s Corner Family Home with Deep Southeast-Facing Garden in Popular Haarlem Neighborhood
Key Features
Description
This well-maintained corner family home from the 1930s is located in the sought-after Haarlemmerhoutkwartier, specifically in the Natuurkundigenbuurt-west area of Haarlem. The property benefits from a corner position which provides excellent natural light throughout the home due to additional windows on the side facade. The total living area measures 149 square meters, spread across three floors, while the plot covers 226 square meters.
The ground floor features a front garden leading to the main entrance. Upon entering, there is a vestibule with the meter cupboard, followed by a hallway that includes a stair cupboard and a separate toilet with a small sink. The through-living room is spacious and benefits from the corner location, allowing for abundant daylight. The living room has a quality wooden floor and features French doors that open directly to the backyard. Adjacent to the living room is a closed kitchen which also provides access to the garden. The current kitchen layout offers the potential to create an open-plan kitchen by removing the dividing wall, which would further enhance the sense of space and connection to the garden.
The backyard is a notable feature of this property, measuring more than 21 meters in depth and facing southeast, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the day. The garden is approximately 6 meters wide and 21.5 meters deep, totaling 129 square meters. At the rear of the garden there is a freestestone storage shed, and the garden is accessible via a rear path. The considerable depth of the garden presents various possibilities for future owners, including the option to build an extension, add a veranda, or construct a larger outbuilding, subject to the necessary permits.
The first floor comprises a landing, three rooms, and a bathroom. There is a smaller room at the rear with a built-in closet and access to a balcony. A spacious bedroom at the rear features an additional side window, again thanks to the corner position. The third bedroom is located at the front and similarly benefits from a side window. The bathroom on this floor is neatly finished and includes a bathtub with shower, a double vanity with washbasin cabinet, and a second toilet.
The second floor houses a landing with the central heating boiler (Nefit brand) and connections for a washing machine and dryer. The main bedroom on this floor spans the entire length of the property and features a skylight, a dormer window, and side windows. This space could relatively easily be divided into two separate bedrooms if desired. The listing also mentions that by adding one or two dormer windows, a second bathroom could be created on this floor, offering further customization options for future owners.
The property was built in 1935 and has a pitched roof covered with tiles. The energy label is rated C, and the home is equipped with double glazing throughout, with nearly all window frames replaced with plastic (kunststof) frames. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the property.
The Haarlemmerhoutkwartier, also referred to as the Houtvaartkwartier in parts of the listing, is a popular and family-friendly neighborhood in the southwest of Haarlem. The immediate surroundings offer various amenities within walking distance, including a public primary school (de Zuidwester), a daycare center with after-school care (Het Kootertje), a health center (gezondheidscentrum Zuidwest), and a playground. Local shops, sports clubs, and additional schools are also in the vicinity.
For outdoor activities, the beautiful Landgoed Elswout estate and the Haarlemmerhout city park are just a short walk away. Cycling a bit further leads through the dunes to the beaches of Zandvoort and Bloemendaal. The open-air swimming pool Houtvaart is located around the corner from the property.
The location offers excellent connectivity. The historic center of Haarlem with its many terraces and shopping streets is approximately five minutes by bicycle. The NS station Heemstede-Aerdenhout is also about five minutes by bike and provides direct train connections to Amsterdam and to Leiden and The Hague. The main highways to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, Utrecht, The Hague, and Alkmaar are easily accessible from this location. Public parking in the street and surrounding area is free of charge.
The property is offered at a price of 799,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). The price per square meter of living space is approximately 5,362 euros. A non-self-occupation clause applies to this property. The seller has designated Notariskantoor Hartman LMH in Amsterdam as the notary for the transfer. The delivery date is subject to consultation but can be arranged quickly if desired.
This corner home combines the character of a 1930s property with modern comforts and offers a generous living space in a child-friendly neighborhood with excellent amenities and good transport connections. The deep southeast-facing garden and the various expansion possibilities make this property particularly suitable for families looking for a home where they can further customize the living space to their preferences.
