Dahlialaan 32

A unique opportunity to enjoy country-style living in the heart of the Randstad. This characterful semi-detached villa feels like a hidden retreat, where peace, space, and nature come together. With uninterrupted views across the meadows of Klooster Alverna and a garden inspired by South Africa, this is a home where outdoor living is just as important as life indoors.

Here, you experience a holiday atmosphere all year round. From early spring until well into autumn, life centres around the garden room, where the glass façades can be opened entirely, allowing you to sit sheltered in the sunshine. During the warmer months, the inviting sunken seating area transforms into a fully fledged outdoor room, the perfect setting for long evenings with friends or peaceful mornings enjoying coffee in the sun. Throughout the garden, several charming seating areas have been created, meaning there is always a spot in the sun — or shade — from early morning until late evening. And then there is the view… from the comfort of your armchair, you can spot your own “small five”: roe deer, swans, buzzards, ducks, and all the other wildlife that inhabits this beautiful landscape. A subtle nod to South Africa, yet right here in Aerdenhout. A rare combination of nature, privacy, and comfort.

Inside, the property was extensively renovated and extended in 2013, resulting in a playful yet generously proportioned family home with multiple living spaces perfectly suited to every moment of the day and every season. The adjoining lounge is a wonderful multifunctional room, ideal as a children’s chill-out area, television room, or simply a place to retreat and unwind. The garden room forms a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, making it difficult to ever want to leave the house. During winter, daily life shifts to the atmospheric en-suite living room with fireplace and bay window, where the uninterrupted meadow views never lose their appeal. The rear sitting room is bright and welcoming, once again offering that calming green panorama.

Practical flexibility has also been thoughtfully incorporated. The garage is currently used as a utility and storage room, while still offering space for bicycles and potentially a car. Preparations have already been made to create an en-suite bathroom adjoining a ground-floor bedroom, making single-level living or guest accommodation entirely feasible.

Upstairs, the sense of space is equally impressive. The first floor currently offers 2 exceptionally spacious bedrooms and a bathroom, though it originally accommodated 3 bedrooms and can easily be restored to that layout. The second floor features an additional 3 bedrooms and a second bathroom. There is also a generous loft space providing further storage.

In recent years, the property has also been made more sustainable and now benefits from an Energy Label B rating, including Tonzon floor insulation, roof insulation, and HR++/HR+++ glazing. In short, comfortable and energy-efficient living with an eye to the future.

The location completes the picture perfectly. Situated on a quiet, leafy, and child-friendly avenue in one of the most sought-after parts of Aerdenhout: peaceful and semi-rural, yet remarkably central. The shops along the Zandvoortselaan and the intercity railway station with direct connections to cities including Amsterdam and The Hague are within walking distance. The historic city centre of Haarlem is just a 10-minute cycle away, while the beach, dunes, and forests are practically on the doorstep. Major roads are easily accessible, and there is ample parking on private grounds.
