Daily amenities are within easy reach, with shops, supermarkets, schools, and sports facilities all located in the direct vicinity. The vibrant Haarlem city center, with its extensive range of shops, restaurants, and cultural venues, is just a few minutes by bike. Furthermore, the accessibility is excellent, with quick connections to major roads leading to Amsterdam, Alkmaar, and Schiphol, making it convenient for commuters or frequent travelers.
The layout of the house is both practical and inviting. Access to the home is gained via a spacious front garden, which provides an attractive outdoor area. Upon entering, you find a hallway that grants access to the modernized bathroom and the bright living room. The living room is a highlight, featuring handy built-in storage cupboards and a pleasant atmosphere created by the natural light. Adjacent to the living area is the modern open kitchen, which was installed in 2021. This kitchen is situated at the rear of the house and offers direct access to the backyard, making it ideal for indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months. The flow between the living space and the kitchen is seamless, creating a cozy environment for daily living.
The outdoor spaces are designed for low maintenance and high enjoyment. The sunny backyard is located on the west, ensuring that you can enjoy the evening sun. This garden measures 24 square meters, with a depth of 4 meters and a width of 6 meters. It includes a practical storage shed and a back entrance. A particular advantage of this property is the direct access from the backyard to a large communal courtyard garden, effectively extending your living space. The front garden also adds to the appeal, providing a lovely area to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

Ascending the staircase in the hall leads to the first floor. This level accommodates a spacious bedroom, providing a comfortable retreat. Additionally, there is a great deal of practical storage space on this floor. It is worth noting that this storage area has not been included in the reported living area square meters, meaning the property offers even more utility than the standard measurements might suggest.

Having the bathroom on the ground floor adds to the convenience of the layout, particularly for guests or for future accessibility needs.
From a technical perspective, the property is in excellent condition. Major improvements have been made to ensure the home is energy-efficient and secure. The roof and gutters were fully replaced in 2025, offering peace of mind for the future. The roof is a saddle roof covered with tiles. The walls feature cavity wall insulation, and the property is fitted with double glazing, HR glass, and floor insulation. These measures contribute to an energy label C. The house also offers the convenience of free parking directly in front of the door, a valuable feature in a residential area. The detached stone storage shed in the garden provides extra space for bicycles or garden equipment.
Living in a home like this offers a seamless blend of functionality and relaxation. The kitchen, being from 2021, ensures that one does not have to worry about immediate renovations, allowing the new owners to simply move in and start their daily routines. The flow from the living area to the garden is perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The storage solutions on the first floor provide ample room for seasonal items, luggage, or other belongings, helping to keep the main living areas clutter-free. The insulation ensures that the house stays warm in the winter and remains cool during the summer months, contributing to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. The quiet road ensures that traffic noise is minimal, providing a serene environment to return to after a busy day.
This corner house is a move-in-ready home that requires no immediate work. It strikes a fine balance between the nostalgic atmosphere of a 1930s home and the conveniences of modern living.
