This property presents itself as a renovation opportunity for buyers willing to invest significant time and resources into modernizing a 1934 terraced house. The absence of insulation, the energy label G rating, the gas heater heating system, and the lack of a completed bathroom all indicate that substantial renovation work will be required to bring the property up to contemporary living standards. However, the property offers a generous living area of 130 square meters with five potential bedrooms across three floors, situated in a well-connected location in Haarlem with good access to urban amenities and the natural surroundings of the nearby dunes and coastline.
