Description
Located in the vibrant and historic center of Haarlem, this spacious and multifunctional city apartment offers a unique living experience spread across three floors. The property is situated in the heart of the city, specifically within the renowned Gouden Straatjes shopping district. This area is celebrated for its distinctive boutiques, inviting cafes, and atmospheric restaurants, providing residents with immediate access to a wide array of cultural and commercial amenities. The apartment itself is positioned within a protected cityscape, occupying a building that dates back to 1880. This location allows residents to fully immerse themselves in the character and atmosphere of Haarlem, with views overlooking the historic inner city.
The apartment has a total living area of 110 square meters and was created through the consolidation of several smaller apartments, a project realized in 2025 and 2026. This thoughtful combination of spaces has resulted in a versatile layout that includes three bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. The property is designed to accommodate various living situations, making it suitable for families, professionals working from home, or those requiring space for guests. The entrance to the complex is located around the corner at Warmoesstraat 26. This central entrance leads to a hallway containing the meter cupboards, from where a staircase ascends to the first floor. It is on the first floor landing that residents find a shared exit leading to the flat roof at the rear of the property. The private front door of the apartment is accessed directly from this shared outdoor space, adding a unique element to the arrival experience.
The first floor of the apartment is configured to function as a semi-independent suite. This level is highly suitable for a live-in child, a guest accommodation, or a dedicated home office space. The layout on this floor includes a spacious bedroom and a well-appointed bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a shower, a toilet, and a sink, providing complete facilities for occupants of this floor. A fixed staircase in the hallway connects the first floor to the second level, ensuring easy internal circulation within the apartment.
The second floor serves as the primary living area of the home. This level features an atmospheric living room characterized by high ceilings that enhance the sense of space and grandeur. Large windows on this floor ensure an abundance of natural light enters the space, creating a bright and welcoming environment. These windows also offer a beautiful view of the shopping street below, allowing residents to observe the activity of the city from the comfort of their home. Adjacent to the living room is a modern open kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a diverse range of built-in appliances, facilitating meal preparation and entertaining. The open layout between the kitchen and living area promotes a social atmosphere, making this floor the true heart of the home.
Ascending to the third floor, one finds the private sleeping quarters. The landing provides access to two spacious bedrooms situated at the front of the property. These rooms feature characteristic dormer windows that add to the charm of the facade while letting in light. Also located on the third floor is a recently renovated bathroom. This bathroom is modernly designed and includes a shower, a toilet, a washbasin, and a designer radiator. Additionally, there is a connection for a washing machine, adding practical utility to the space. A practical boiler room is also present on this floor, housing the central heating installation.
Technically, the property is well maintained and updated. The heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit 9000i HR35 combi boiler, which is gas fired and was installed in 2024. This ensures efficient and reliable heating for the apartment. The property has an energy label C, indicating a moderate level of energy efficiency. Measures to improve insulation have been implemented, including double glazing and wall insulation. Mechanical ventilation is also installed to ensure a healthy indoor climate.
The apartment is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE). The monthly contribution to the VvE is 336.57 euros. The association is officially registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and has a maintenance plan in place. Building insurance is arranged by the VvE. However, it is noted that there is currently no reserve fund, which is an important consideration for future maintenance. The property is offered on an ownership basis (volle eigendom).
Parking in the city center is managed through a permit system. The listing indicates that paid parking, parking garages, and parking permits are the available options for residents. This is typical for a location this central in a historic Dutch city. The specific cadastral designation for the property is HAARLEM D 11461.
In summary, this apartment on Anegang 23 offers a blend of historic charm and modern convenience. The strategic location in the Gouden Straatjes places the best of Haarlem city life within reach, while the multi-floor layout provides distinct zones for living, working, and sleeping. The recent renovations, including the merger of the units and the updated technical installations, ensure that the property meets contemporary standards of comfort. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the space is generous and flexible, catering to a variety of household needs. The combination of the panoramic views, the architectural features of the protected cityscape, and the vibrant neighborhood context makes this a distinctive listing in the Haarlem real estate market.
