Iordensstraat 43

There are only two such facades in the street, namely this former milk shop and the adjacent former baker’s shop. Due to the original shop function, the house has an uncommon layout with a classic front room (the former shop) at the front with suited doors to the rest of the ground floor. Converted in 2018/2019 into a modern, bright living space that has the feel of a cosy and lively home. The dining room and luxury kitchen form the heart of the house, with a separate playroom at the front and the bright extension at the rear. With a large skylight and large sliding door to the garden, it makes a nice sitting room and workspace. The staircase to the upstairs can be found more at the back of the house, this too has its origins in its original function as a shop with back and upper house. So it has always been a family home; the shopkeeper’s family lived behind and above the shop.

The realisation of the atrium created light on all floors and the opportunity to connect all floors. On the upper floors, two windows of the glass wall can be opened, a fun and playful way to interact with each other in the house. The bedrooms are spacious and three of the four rooms have en suite bathrooms. So perfect for a family with growing children. From the rear bedroom on the second floor, there is access to the roof. Here, the necessary preparations have been made to realise a roof terrace. Electricity and water can be piped upstairs from the technical room.

Iordensstraat 43 and 43A used to form a large house belonging to the shop. The dividing door between these houses no longer exists, but can of course be brought back. In this way, a large family house can be realised, or actually brought back, for large families, living with an au pair or to be used as a guest house for family from abroad, for example. Iordensstraat 43A is also for sale, but currently still in rented condition.

The Koninginnebuurt is a lovely, child-friendly neighbourhood near the city centre. Iordensstraat itself is diverse and is inhabited by families, singles and couples, who all live together in a pleasant atmosphere. The neighbourhood is quiet and there are several good primary and secondary schools, as well as various sports clubs. The Koninginnebuurt is at walking distance from the cosy Vijfhoek and Haarlem city centre with a wide range of shops, restaurants, nightlife and cultural hotspots such as the Frans Hals Museum, the Teylers Museum and the Stadsschouwburg. Stadsbos de Haarlemmerhout and the green Frederikspark with fun events such as Bevrijdingspop are within walking distance, as are bus stops with fast connections to Amsterdam, VUmc and Schiphol Airport, among others. Haarlem Station and NS Station Heemstede/Aerdenhout can be reached by bike in 8 minutes and by car, Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague and Alkmaar can be reached very quickly.
