Haarlem
Cornelissteeg 3
Description
Right in the heart of Haarlem, in a pedestrianised side street off the Grote Houtstraat, you will find this bright and characterful upper-floor apartment. With a spacious kitchen-diner, two bedrooms and a sunny private roof terrace, it offers a special combination: the lively city centre just around the corner and a surprising sense of peace and quiet both inside and at the rear of the property. Despite being right in the centre of town, you hardly notice the hustle and bustle once indoors.
Step inside and you almost feel as though you have travelled back in time, but with all the comforts of modern living. The apartment has everything you could wish for when it comes to original period features: high ceilings with decorative mouldings, a marble fireplace, original window shutters and stained glass. It has it all! The kitchen-diner is perfectly in keeping with the character of the property, featuring a beautiful fireplace surround housing a matching gas cooker. The living room features a marble fireplace and original window shutters. And despite being right in the heart of the city, you hardly notice it from inside. On the second floor are two bedrooms and the bathroom. From the rear bedroom, French doors open onto the private roof terrace. Also north-facing, its elevated position provides plenty of privacy while enjoying sunshine for most of the day.
The location is fantastic. Right in the centre of Haarlem, on a pedestrianised street, within walking distance of everything the city has to offer. The Grote Markt and Oude Groenmarkt, with their lively cafés and terraces, the Grote Houtstraat and Kleine Houtstraat with their main shopping streets, and the charming little streets in between, filled with boutiques and restaurants, are all just a short walk away. As are the Frans Hals Museum, Toneelschuur theatre and Phil concert venue.
At the same time, the neighbourhood has an almost village-like feel. You get to know your neighbours, children can play safely outside and the Brakeboertuin is just a two-minute walk away. This hidden city garden is maintained and enjoyed by local residents and is a lovely place for children to play. This apartment truly offers the best of both worlds: all the benefits of city-centre living combined with a surprisingly peaceful and friendly residential setting.
