Key Features
Description
This compact but well-appointed home is situated on Paul Krugerstraat 1 in the Generaalsbuurt neighborhood of Haarlem, positioned on the ground floor of what was originally constructed in 1906. The property was recently converted from its previous use into a residential dwelling, with all systems and finishes fully updated as part of the renovation.
The living space spans 41 square meters, making it a practical size for individuals or couples seeking a low-maintenance residence in a central Dutch city. The layout is straightforward and functional, consisting of an entrance hall that leads into the main living area. The living room benefits from good natural light and flows openly into the kitchen space, creating a sense of openness despite the modest total floor area. The kitchen is equipped with modern cabinetry and built-in appliances, including an electric oven and an induction cooking hob. These appliances were installed as part of the recent renovation and are included in the sale.
The property contains one bedroom, which is fitted with built-in wardrobe storage to maximize the use of available space. This built-in storage helps reduce the need for additional free-standing furniture and contributes to a tidy, organized interior. The single bathroom is located within the home and is finished in a modern style. It features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with a sink, and a toilet. The bathroom was entirely renewed during the renovation period.
Throughout the home, laminate flooring has been installed, providing a consistent, durable, and easy-to-maintain floor finish that complements the modern interior. Mechanical ventilation has been fitted to ensure adequate air circulation, which is an important consideration in a compact ground-floor unit.
The property holds an energy label B, which indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency for a home of this age and type. The listing states that the walls and floor have been fitted with insulation. Heating and hot water are supplied by means of a gas-fired combination boiler manufactured by Intergas. This boiler was installed in 2020 and is owned outright by the current owner, meaning there is no rental agreement to take over.
One notable characteristic of this property is that it operates without a formal owners association, commonly referred to in Dutch as a Vereniging van Eigenaren. There are no upstairs neighbors, and no share in a communal building fund. This simplifies the ownership structure and means there are no monthly VvE contributions to budget for.
The plot size is 46 square meters, which is relatively small and reflects the urban density of the Generaalsbuurt. The property is classified as a single-family home of the terraced type, and it sits on one residential floor. The roof structure is a flat roof covered with bituminous membrane, which is consistent with the building style of the period.
Parking in the immediate area requires attention. The listing explicitly states that a parking permit is not available for this address. Nearby public parking is available at a public parking garage located within very close proximity. According to the advertisement, a monthly subscription at this garage costs approximately 89.10 euros. Alternatively, paid street parking applies in the surrounding area. Prospective buyers who intend to own a vehicle should factor in this ongoing parking cost.
The location of Paul Krugerstraat 1 places residents within walking distance of De Cronje shopping street, which offers a variety of shops and daily amenities. The city center of Haarlem is also within easy walking distance, as is Haarlem railway station, making the property well-connected for commuting or leisure travel by public transport.
The property is offered with full ownership. The cadastre reference is SCHOTEN B 18796, and the plot area is recorded as 46 square meters. Acceptance of the property is subject to mutual agreement, and the asking price is 325,000 euros excluding transfer tax and notary fees.
In summary, this listing presents a ground-floor single-family home that has been recently and comprehensively renovated to a move-in ready standard. The absence of an owners association, the recent installation of systems such as the combination boiler and mechanical ventilation, and the practical inclusion of built-in appliances and storage are all points of interest. The energy efficiency rating and the urban parking situation are factors that merit consideration during the decision-making process. The property is best suited to buyers looking for a compact, low-maintenance home in a central Haarlem neighborhood with good access to transport links and city amenities.
