Description
This terraced house, built in 1935, is located on one of the most desirable spots in Haarlem, offering a surprisingly spacious layout with six bedrooms across three floors. The property is situated in the Planetenbuurt, a residential area that has been popular among families for many years due to its characteristic atmosphere, wide sidewalks, and attractive front gardens. The home looks out onto a green square, providing an open and unobstructed view that adds to the appeal of the location.
The current owners have maintained the property to a good to excellent standard while carefully preserving the original architectural details from the 1930s construction period. Throughout the house, you will find beautiful stained glass windows, panel doors, en-suite doors, a vestibule, original tile work, granito floors, and a characteristic bay window at the front. These period features have been retained while the property has been thoughtfully modernized and made more sustainable over the years.
The ground floor offers a pleasant living space with a generous living room at the front featuring a wood burning fireplace, suite doors with stained glass, built-in cabinets, and an oak wooden floor. Large windows and a wide sliding door to the backyard allow natural light to enter abundantly. At the rear, there is a spacious dining room with access to the semi-open kitchen, which is equipped with a china cabinet and various built-in appliances. Both the kitchen and the dining room have doors leading to the garden.
The entrance on the ground floor includes a front porch with attractive original tile work, a granito floor, and the meter cupboard. The hallway contains a closet under the stairs and a toilet with a washbasin. The electrical system consists of eight groups with two earth leakage switches.
The first floor features a landing, a second toilet, and three bedrooms. The master bedroom is located at the rear and includes two built-in closets plus access to a balcony. Two additional bedrooms are situated at the front of the property. The bathroom on this floor was renovated in 2019 or 2020 and is designed in a 1930s style, featuring a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a double vanity unit, and a beautiful granito floor.
The second floor provides a landing, three more bedrooms (two of which have built-in closets), and a utility room housing the central heating boiler and washing machine along with storage space. A large attic storage area is also accessible from this floor.
Behind the house lies a surprisingly green and well-maintained backyard facing northwest, offering a sunny terrace and good privacy. The backyard measures 56 square meters, approximately 9.13 meters deep and 6.09 meters wide. A freestanding shed spans the full width of the garden, divided into two sections. This shed is insulated and equipped with electricity. The rear access path is wide enough to accommodate a motorcycle.
The property has a total living area of approximately 139 square meters and a volume of 478 cubic meters, measured according to the industry-wide measurement instructions. The plot covers 148 square meters, which includes 5 square meters of external storage space and 12 square meters of outbuildings.
In terms of sustainability, the property has an energy label B rating. It features double glazing throughout, with some windows having HR++ glass and secondary glazing. Both the floor and roof are insulated. Twelve solar panels were installed on the roof in 2023, contributing to lower energy costs. The roof covering was renewed in 2016 or 2017, and the exterior paintwork was completed in 2025.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Bosch gas-fired combination boiler from 2012, which is owned by the current residents. The foundation is a steel foundation with a low risk classification according to the KCAF score system, falling within categories A, B, or C.
The Planetenbuurt neighborhood offers excellent amenities within easy reach. Several schools and sports facilities are located in the immediate vicinity, as are the Haarlemmer Kooktuin park and multiple supermarkets. The De Cronjé shopping street is a short distance away, and the popular Nes71 coffee shop is located just around the corner. On Thursdays, residents can easily walk to the lively market on the Floresstraat for fresh produce and local specialties.
For recreation and relaxation, both the Schoterbos and Zaanenpark are within walking distance. The beach and dunes can be reached by bicycle in approximately twenty minutes. The historic center of Haarlem, with the Grote Markt, is about twelve minutes away by bike. The favorable location also provides quick and easy access to major roads leading to Amsterdam, Alkmaar, Schiphol Airport, and The Hague.
Parking is available on public roads in the area. The property is offered with a asking price of 835,000 euros, with the transfer costs to be paid by the buyer. This results in a price per square meter of approximately 6,007 euros based on the living area. The property is currently available, and the delivery date can be negotiated.
