Bloemendaalseweg 159

This unique, spacious family home offers 236 m² of living space. Built in 1910, it retains many original features from that era, such as beautiful pocket doors, stained glass windows, and authentic panelled doors with elegant frames. The property has been carefully renovated and lovingly maintained, preserving its stately character.

The home immediately impresses with its charming front façade and characteristic details like the round gable windows and traditional timber window frames with glazing bars. The entrance is tucked beneath a glass canopy; the front door is classic in style, and the hallway features original tiling and a marble floor. Inside, you’re welcomed into a delightful en suite living room with high ornamental ceilings, a cosy fireplace, and a stunning bay window with French doors opening onto the sunny front garden. The rear section of the room offers a comfortable lounge area and a spacious kitchen-diner, also with French doors leading to the rear garden. This inviting dining space can be separated by the original sliding doors and connects directly to the lower-level garden via further French doors.

The southeast-facing rear garden is over 18 metres deep and 11 metres wide, offering a high level of privacy and sunlight throughout the day. Whether you prefer sun or shade, you’ll always find a pleasant spot, both in the front and rear gardens. The garden can be accessed from two sides: via the side path through the front garden, and via a gate at the rear. The back entrance and the garage are situated on the quiet Bleekerspad – a road used only for local traffic, making it a safe and fun play area for children. Kids will also enjoy playing table tennis under the covered side area of the house.

In addition to the generous living space on the ground floor, the property features a full basement that serves as a second living floor. This level includes a second kitchen and living room, both with French doors opening onto the garden. With its own side entrance, this floor is ideal for older children seeking independence or as a private space for an au pair. It also includes a practical utility/storage room with laundry connections and a separate WC. On the upper floors, there are five bedrooms, with the principal bedroom at the front boasting French doors leading to a charming balcony with wooden balustrade.

The location is fantastic! Situated along the picturesque Bloemendaalseweg, you’ll find yourself in the heart of Bloemendaal with lovely boutiques, lively cafés, and excellent restaurants just steps away. Bloemendaal railway station is within easy walking distance, offering a direct connection to central Amsterdam in around 25 minutes.

Several primary and secondary schools, as well as sports clubs, are in the immediate vicinity. With Haarlem and Santpoort within easy cycling distance, this location is ideal for those looking to combine peace and nature with proximity to city amenities.
