Description
Situated on the green outskirts of Velserbroek, this well maintained semi detached residence offers a unique living experience characterized by space, light, and modern comfort. The property is positioned on the edge of the residential area, providing residents with an unobstructed and free view over the surrounding meadows. This location combines the tranquility of a rural setting with the convenience of residential living. The home itself features a generous living area of approximately 167 square meters, making it highly suitable for families or those who require ample space for work and leisure. Sustainability and comfort are central themes in the design and maintenance of the property. Significant investments have been made to ensure the home is energy efficient and future proof. The property currently holds an energy label A from 2020, with the expectation that recent upgrades will elevate this to an A+ rating. These upgrades include the installation of a hybrid heat pump in 2023 and eight solar panels.
Upon entering the home, one is immediately struck by the sense of spaciousness and the abundance of natural light. The ground floor underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2021, resulting in a layout that perfectly suits contemporary living standards. The back kitchen and a portion of the garage were integrated into the main living area, creating a vast open plan living and dining space spanning 81 square meters. This area serves as the heart of the home, where cooking, dining, and socializing effortlessly come together. The entire ground floor is finished with a solid pine plank floor, which adds warmth and character to the space, while the walls and ceilings are smoothly plastered for a modern and timeless aesthetic.
The kitchen is a true highlight of the residence. Installed in 2021, this luxury open kitchen is equipped with a spacious cooking island, making it an ideal place to prepare meals while interacting with family or guests. It includes a dedicated coffee corner complete with a wine climate cabinet, ensuring that beverages are always served at the perfect temperature. The kitchen is fitted with high end Siemens built in appliances, including a double fridge freezer combination, a combination microwave oven, and a steam oven, catering to a wide variety of cooking methods. The hob is a state of the art Bora induction cooktop, and a boiling water tap adds an extra layer of convenience to the daily routine. The living area provides ample room for a large dining table as well as a comfortable seating area centered around a fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere during the colder months.
The hallway on the ground floor houses the meter cupboard and a floating toilet with a fountain. The staircase leading to the upper floors was modernized in 2021, contributing to the overall fresh and updated feel of the interior.
Outdoor living is a key feature of this property. Via a large sliding door, the living room opens directly onto the wide backyard. The garden is located on the southeast, ensuring that it is sunny throughout much of the day. The outdoor space was completely redesigned in 2019 and features a high degree of privacy. A small koi carp pond with a filter installation adds a distinctive and tranquil element to the garden. One of the most unique aspects of this home is the access to water. A short flight of stairs leads down to a private jetty that borders municipal water filled with blooming water plants, offering opportunities for recreation or simply enjoying the view. The front garden also provides practical amenities, including atmospheric lighting, an entrance to the kitchen, and practical garden cupboards. On the street side, there is a garage or storage space with its own parking spot, as well as a canopy for bicycle storage and wood storage.
The first floor of the property accommodates three bedrooms, offering plenty of sleeping space for a family. The spacious landing provides access to these rooms as well as the bathroom and a separate second toilet with a fountain. The bathroom is fitted with a washbasin furniture and a spacious walk in shower. A deep walk in closet located on this floor is currently being used as a home office, but it can easily be connected to one of the bedrooms to create an even larger suite or a private dressing area.
The second floor offers a very spacious fourth bedroom featuring a fixed closet wall. This floor also houses a practical storage room where the heat pump installation is located, along with connections for a washing machine and dryer. A significant advantage of this floor is the roof terrace, which is accessible from the landing. The terrace provides a wide view over the meadows towards Haarlem and Spaarndam, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the summer warmth or a quiet morning coffee. There is also the option to realize a fifth bedroom on this level, should the need for additional sleeping space arise in the future.
In terms of technical specifications, the property is equipped with a Vaillant hybrid heat pump and a CV boiler installed in 2023. The eight solar panels were installed in 2015. The electrical installation on the ground floor has been expanded and includes new switching material from 2021. The roof edges and drainage systems were renewed in 2017 and 2025. For comfort and security, the home features electric arm awnings on the ground floor and electric shutters on the first and second floors on the garden side.
The location of the property is highly practical. It is within walking distance of the Velserbroek shopping center, schools, public transportation options, and main roads to the surrounding areas. For those who enjoy cycling, the train stations of Driehuis and Santpoort can be reached within ten minutes, as can the Spaarnwoude recreation area and the Westbroekplas. The historic center of Haarlem, the dunes, and the coast are all approximately a thirty minute bike ride away. This makes the property an excellent base for commuters and nature lovers alike. The property will be available for delivery in mid September 2026.
