Description

Double Ground-Floor Apartment (semi-furnished) with Sunny Garden and Guesthouse/Office in the populair Kleverpark, only 3 minutes away from the train station!

Welcome to this charming early 20th-century city home, built in the style of an Amsterdam canal house with a lower ground floor and raised ground floor. Behind the elegant façade lies a surprisingly spacious and light-filled residence with high ceilings, original details, and every modern comfort.

Enjoy the sun in the sheltered west-facing garden, where you can relax outdoors until late in the evening. The home beautifully combines authentic charm (with en-suite doors, paneling, mantelpiece, and ceiling ornaments) with modern living comfort thanks to the open-plan kitchen and luxurious bathroom.

Located in the popular Kleverpark neighborhood, within walking distance of schools, local shops, supermarkets, coffee bars, and restaurants. The Burcht ter Cleeff playground, de Kweektuin urban garden, Haarlem train station, and the historic city center are all nearby. The dunes and beaches of Bloemendaal and Zandvoort can be reached in just 15 minutes by bike.
