Haarlem
Helmlaan 7
Description
A charming single-family home with no fewer than six rooms, a spacious west-facing backyard, and a lovely east-facing front yard. The home is well maintained but needs to be adapted to the current living requirements of a modern family. Great location in a quiet, green residential area on the border of Haarlem and Aerdenhout, with the dunes and Elswout within easy reach.
On the ground floor, the living room forms the heart of the house, with direct access to the deep west-facing backyard. This spacious garden offers wonderful opportunities to connect indoor and outdoor living. From the garden, there is access to the living room, the semi-open kitchen, the storage room, and the back entrance. The detached storage room offers practical space for bicycles and storage. The kitchen has a semi-open bar that can be subtly modified to create a fully open passageway, inviting an extra dining or seating area.
The first floor has three good-sized bedrooms, spread across the front and rear of the house. At the rear are two rooms, one of which has access to a private west-facing balcony and a built-in closet, a great option for those looking for a quiet workspace. The adjacent room also offers plenty of space and has a built-in closet. The hallway leads to the bathroom with shower and sink, and the separate toilet.
There are two more full bedrooms on the second floor. The fourth room is located at the rear on the west side, the fifth at the front on the east side and is equipped with a sink and a practical built-in wardrobe. Both rooms benefit from dormer windows, allowing pleasant daylight to enter and making optimal use of the space. The landing has a spacious feel thanks to its generous height and has a water connection, ideal for creating a laundry room or creative studio space.
Above this floor, a spacious attic extends over almost the entire length of the roof, perfect for extra storage.
The living environment is a big plus. Located between Aerdenhout and Haarlem, in the middle of the quiet and green Duinwijk, where a relaxed atmosphere prevails with plenty of space and nature. The beautiful Elswout estate is only a six-minute bike ride away and offers extensive walking trails. A wonderful place for those who enjoy the outdoors. Kraantje Lek is also a popular destination for children; a charming place where play, pancakes, and the dune landscape come together in a pleasant way. Yet the liveliness of the city remains within easy reach. Within ten minutes by bike, you can transition from tranquility to the bustling center of Haarlem. Here you will find an abundance of cozy restaurants, stylish cafés, atmospheric terraces, and a wide range of shops and cultural hotspots.
