Park Oosterspaarn is described as a small residential estate in the southern, green outskirts of Haarlem. The neighbourhood is characterised as very quiet and ideal for families with children, with plenty of nature in the area. The listing mentions opportunities for exercise and dog walking. The Molenpark is nearby, featuring its own small beach on the Ringvaart. The neighbourhood has both a large and a small shopping centre. The Binnenweg, the main shopping street of Heemstede, is approximately a 10-minute cycle ride away.

Public transport connections include bus route 73, which provides direct service to Haarlem station. The property is conveniently situated near major roads leading to both the A9 and A4 motorways, providing access to Alkmaar, Schiphol, Amsterdam, Amsterdam-Zuid, The Hague, and Rotterdam.

The neighbourhood is described as child-friendly with mature greenery, including a small playground and a football pitch. Schools are mentioned as being in the immediate vicinity, though specific schools are not named in the listing.

The Bulthaup kitchen, installed in 2023, represents a premium German kitchen brand. The inclusion of Siemens appliances and a Quooker instant boiling water tap indicates modern convenience and functionality. The adjacent utility room provides practical space for laundry appliances and storage.

The maple parquet flooring in the living room is a natural wood option that provides warmth and character to the space. The property orientation is favourable, with the rear garden facing south, receiving direct sunlight throughout the day.

The water feature adjacent to the rear garden adds to the property appeal, providing views that extend beyond the immediate garden boundaries to the meadows beyond.

The presence of two full bathrooms on the first floor represents a practical advantage for families or those who frequently have guests. The master suite arrangement, with the main bedroom adjoining a bathroom with both a bath and walk-in shower, creates a private area within the home.

The custom-made fitted wardrobes in the bedrooms maximise storage space while maintaining an integrated appearance.

The energy efficiency measures are notable. An A-label rating indicates that the property meets high standards of energy efficiency. Full insulation combined with double glazing creates a comfortable indoor environment while minimising heat loss. The 14 solar panels contribute to reducing electricity costs. These features are increasingly important to buyers for both environmental benefits and ongoing cost savings.

The Nefit HRC CV boiler is a well-regarded brand. The fact that it is owned rather than rented means there are no ongoing rental costs associated with this equipment.

The location in Haarlem South offers a balance between suburban tranquillity and urban convenience. Haarlem is an attractive city with a historic centre, good shopping, restaurants, and cultural facilities. The proximity to Heemstede adds another desirable town within easy reach. The coastal location, with beaches and dunes accessible by bicycle, is a lifestyle advantage.

The transport connections are comprehensive. The A9 motorway provides access to Alkmaar to the north and connections towards Amsterdam, while the A4 provides routes towards Schiphol, The Hague, and Rotterdam. This makes the location practical for commuters working in various parts of the Randstad region. The direct bus connection to Haarlem station opens up rail connections to the wider Dutch rail network.

The family-friendly nature of the neighbourhood, with its playground and football pitch, combined with the proximity of schools, makes this property particularly suitable for families with children.

The potential to convert the attic space into additional living accommodation represents future value. While this would require planning permission and investment, it could significantly increase the usable living space of the property.

The property construction date of 1998 places it in the modern era of Dutch residential construction, meaning it benefits from contemporary construction standards and materials.
