Haarlem
Byzantiumstraat 55
Description
Charming, surprisingly spacious terraced house with three bedrooms, a large kitchen-diner and a sunny rear garden with rear access! Extended by 2.5 metres at the rear, with a practical workspace in the attic. A lovely family home in the child-friendly Kruistochtbuurt, close to Haarlem city centre, shops and main roads!
This lovely family home offers a spacious layout. The rear extension has created a generous living area, with a cosy seating area at the front and a large open-plan kitchen overlooking the garden. The kitchen features a sink island with breakfast bar, ample storage and a robust six-burner gas cooker with wide oven. French doors open onto the sunny rear garden with terrace, lawn, wooden shed and rear access.
The first floor offers three spacious bedrooms, all with dormer windows. Exposed beams add character to the front bedroom. Also at the front is the bathroom with whirlpool bath. The attic has been cleverly opened up, providing space for a washing machine and dryer as well as a pleasant workspace. Ideal for working from home or hobbies!
The location is excellent! The child-friendly Kruistochtbuurt is just outside Haarlem city centre, with playgrounds, schools and childcare nearby. The lively Amsterdamstraat and supermarket on Schipholweg are close by for daily shopping. Haarlem’s historic centre and railway station are easily reached by bicycle. Transport links are excellent, with fast bus services to Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport and the A9 motorway nearby.
