Historic 15th-century monument in the heart of Harderwijk with authentic character and modern comfort

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Dutch history. The property dates back to approximately the 15th century and forms part of a former pesthouse, a designated Rijksmonument (national monument) situated in the protected cityscape of Harderwijk's historic centre. The house underwent a meticulous restoration in the period 1978 to 1979, carried out with great respect for its historical character, and has been well maintained and modernised over the years since. The exterior was repainted in 2021, HR-glazing has been installed, the meter cupboard was renewed in 2010, and the central heating system was replaced with a modern Intergas HR combi boiler in 2023.

Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed by an impressive living room with a high ceiling and a beautiful stained glass church window that floods the space with unique light and creates a distinctive atmosphere. The playful layout gives the house its own character, making every room feel surprising and individual. To create additional living space, the property has been substantially extended at the rear, where a garden-oriented kitchen has been realised with excellent light intake thanks to roof windows and window sections that reach down to the ground. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the garden, a surprisingly spacious and sheltered outdoor area of 91 square metres measuring approximately 13.24 metres deep and 6.11 metres wide. The garden faces north and is accessible via a rear entrance, offering a peaceful retreat right in the middle of the city with ample privacy.

The first floor houses the master bedroom, which features a magnificent church window with views over the water. On this floor, you will also find a separate toilet with a hand basin and a spacious bathroom equipped with a shower, washbasin, and washing machine connection. Mechanical ventilation has been installed in the bathroom.

The second floor accommodates two additional rooms, bringing the total number of bedrooms to three. Both rooms are fitted with newly installed roof windows that provide pleasant light and offer characteristic views over the rooftops of Harderwijk. There is also a floored attic reachable via a loft ladder, offering standing height and considerable storage possibilities. A freestanding wooden shed in the rear garden provides additional storage, ideal for bicycles and garden equipment.

Central heating and hot water are provided by the HR combi boiler from 2023, owned rather than rented. Partial underfloor heating is also installed. The property has been equipped with roof insulation and HR-glazing, contributing to energy efficiency, although the overall energy label remains D.

Parking in the area is possible via a parking permit system. The property is connected to fibre optic cable and is fitted with mechanical ventilation throughout.

This monument offers a unique combination of historical authenticity, spatial comfort, and a central location. The property lies in the protected city view of Harderwijk, with shops, restaurants, and public transport within walking distance, while the natural surroundings and waterfront are just steps away. The property comes with its own dedicated website at Straatvansevenhuysen6.nl where the full brochure can be downloaded. Acceptance of the property is by mutual agreement.
