Bos en Vaartstraat 31

What a beauty! This beautiful city villa from 1905 has a particularly beautiful facade, with the original letters of the former Bosch en Vaart estate on the facade. The spacious 212m² house has been tastefully renovated while retaining its originality. Inside, the house exudes tranquillity. The choice of colours and materials is modern but goes perfectly with the authentic details in the house. This is where you come home. Bicycles can be parked in the front garden, the hall has space for two coat racks, trainers, hockey sticks and trainers. On the ground floor is a beautiful oak wide-plank floor, recently completely sanded and oiled. High ceilings with ornaments, panel doors, the original knocker on the front door and the rods in the windows emphasise the characteristic look. The sturdy wood-burning stove, installed in 2023, is an atmospheric addition. The kitchen diner at the rear was completely renovated in 2023 and features a sleek quartzite top, walnut fronts and luxury appliances. From the dining room and kitchen diner, French doors provide access to the beautifully landscaped rear garden, which is south-east facing and delightfully sunny.
The garage has been converted into a laundry room and “chill” room. All in all, therefore, ideal for a family. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms. The master bedroom at the front has a large walk-in closet and the side windows provide wonderful light throughout the floor. In addition, there are two bathrooms. The second floor consists of a cool attic room and spacious loft.

The Bosch & Vaart neighbourhood was created at the beginning of the 20th century and lies between the Leidsevaart and the Haarlemmerhout. The houses in this neighbourhood are a collection of different architectural building styles used in the Netherlands around 1900. The neighbourhood is known for its quiet, green character and fine, spacious and characteristic houses. Its central location also makes it a very attractive location: adjacent to city forest De Haarlemmerhout, within walking distance of local shops, several primary and secondary schools and the bustling city centre. Oranjeplein is just around the corner, an ideal place for children to play outside! Public transport and access routes to various arterial roads are in the immediate vicinity. In short: a fantastic and unique family home, where every family will feel right at home!
