Description
One of the most charming locations in Bennebroek is home to this characterful and surprisingly spacious family house (approx. 187 sq m), situated on a quiet, leafy street with uninterrupted views over the water. Offering no fewer than five bedrooms, generous living space and a deep, private rear garden, this is a home where indoor and outdoor living blend effortlessly and where families have all the room they need to live, play and enjoy life.
This picturesque home exudes warmth and character. At the front of the property is the spacious sitting room, featuring a cosy seating area with lovely views over the water, an elegant natural stone fireplace and a practical understairs storage cupboard. The open-plan kitchen is the heart of the home and is fitted with a central island incorporating a sink, a Quooker boiling-water tap, a gas hob and Siemens fridge and freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with a traditional granito worktop and direct access to the garden.
French doors open onto the deep rear garden, a wonderful green oasis offering exceptional privacy. Surrounded by mature trees, the garden features a variety of fruit trees, a generous lawn where children can play freely, and several terraces perfect for long summer evenings and relaxed al fresco dining with family and friends. There is also a timber shed, a separate timber storage building with a loft, and side access to the garden on both sides of the house.
Inside, the sense of space continues. The first floor offers five well-proportioned bedrooms and a fully equipped family bathroom. In addition, several loft storage areas and practical built-in storage spaces provide ample room for keeping belongings neatly out of sight, making this home not only spacious but also exceptionally practical for family living.
The property enjoys a prime location in the heart of Bennebroek, within easy walking distance of schools, shops, cafés and restaurants, public transport and main road connections. Sports grounds and clubs, including hockey and football clubs, are just around the corner. Several playgrounds are nearby, including **Linnaeushof**, Europe’s largest playground. The popular shopping streets of Heemstede (Raadhuisstraat and Binnenweg) are just a short cycle ride away, while the vibrant city centre of Haarlem and the beach are both easily accessible by bicycle. The location also offers excellent connections to Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Leiden and The Hague, making it an ideal setting for families seeking space, tranquillity and excellent amenities close at hand.
