Breitnerstraat 6

This striking and sustainable townhouse is part of the traffic-free Deo Neo development, designed by Dana Ponec architects. Its generous width sets this home apart from most of the other properties in the development. The house is wider than it is deep, and you notice this immediately. What a sense of light and space! The generous proportions and abundance of windows create a wonderfully open and spacious feel.

The ground floor is designed entirely around family life and spending time together. There is a spacious entrance hall, a large kitchen-diner and a separate sitting room with dining area. The kitchen-diner is the perfect place to cook together, have breakfast with the children and catch up on the day. There is plenty of workspace, while the kitchen features a full-height fitted wall with high-end built-in appliances and a dedicated coffee station. French doors at both the front and rear create a lovely connection with the outdoors. On a beautiful day, simply open the doors and let indoor and outdoor living flow naturally into one another.

The sitting room is separated from the kitchen by a striking steel sliding door. It is a lovely space to retreat to, with the bespoke wall-mounted TV unit and Global gas fireplace as atmospheric focal points. The long dining table in the extension is perfect for enjoying leisurely meals with family and friends.

Upstairs, there is an equally impressive amount of space. The master bedroom spans the full depth of the house and features numerous windows and French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. A wonderfully bright room. There are also two further bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower. The second floor offers another pleasant surprise. The right-hand side of the house has been built up with straight walls, creating a full-sized additional bedroom and leaving an impressive amount of usable space. Two rooms have air conditioning. The third room is currently used as a chill-out room, with additional storage behind the sloping roof sections. Ideal for older children, as a playroom or for guests. There is also a second, comfortable family bathroom on this floor.

The rear garden is wonderfully wide and offers plenty of space for family life. There is a lounge terrace for long summer evenings and a lawn with a built-in trampoline. The detached wooden shed, complete with electricity, provides storage for bicycles and other belongings. The garden is easily accessible via the rear entrance. Another advantage is the relatively open outlook beyond the garden. There is no direct view into the neighbouring gardens, creating an extra sense of peace and privacy.

Kleverpark is known by its residents as “a village in the city”. It is a peaceful and very family-friendly neighbourhood. Deo Neo takes its name from the St. Joannes de Deo Hospital, which formerly stood on this site. The house is located on the so-called inner ring, a carré-shaped courtyard with very little traffic, where children can play safely outdoors. Excellent local amenities, including a bakery, quality butcher, fishmonger, pharmacy and Het Oude Zuivelhuis, are all within walking distance, as are Cleeff café, city park De Bolwerken and Haarlem Central Station. In just five minutes by bike, you can reach the lively historic city centre of Haarlem. And in summer, there is no need to sit in traffic: cycling through the dunes takes you to Bloemendaal aan Zee beach in approximately 20 minutes.
