Peaceful living, yet just moments from the city? This lovely family home is set on a quiet street in the sought-after Leidsebuurt. The living room is spacious and bright, with a beautiful oak floor and stained-glass detailing above the windows.

Sliding doors open directly onto the deep, south-facing rear garden, with plenty of sunshine and convenient rear access. The utility room is another practical addition, with the washing machine and tumble dryer neatly concealed within fitted cupboards.

On the top floor is the fifth bedroom: a charming room with exposed roof timbers and a wonderful view of the Bavo Basilica.
And then there’s the location! The house is in the popular Leidsebuurt, just a short walk from the centre of Haarlem. Within 5 minutes you can be in the heart of the city, while all your everyday amenities are close at hand. The dunes and beaches of Bloemendaal and Zandvoort are also within easy cycling distance.
