Haarlem
Kerkstraat 20
Description
What a lovely home! A charming townhouse tucked away in an incredibly picturesque little street. Featuring a welcoming kitchen-diner, an atmospheric living room with exposed ceiling beams and a fireplace, a separate workspace and a sleeping floor beneath the roof. Full of character and original details!
Inside, the layout is surprisingly playful and, above all, full of charm. The kitchen is located slightly below street level in the basement and offers plenty of workspace thanks to its L-shaped layout. The sash windows with glazing bars perfectly complement the character and period of the property. One floor up is the living room, where the exposed ceiling beams and fireplace immediately create a warm atmosphere. Above the hallway, a raised workspace has been cleverly created: a great spot for working from home without being right in the middle of the living room. Another lovely feature is the rear window with original glass.
The top floor is entirely arranged as a sleeping area beneath the roof. The dormer window at the rear and smaller dormer at the front provide plenty of natural light. There is also a private washbasin unit. A cosy floor that perfectly complements the character of the house.
The location is fantastic! You will be living right in the heart of the Vijfhoek, often referred to as the Jordaan of Haarlem. One of the city’s most popular and atmospheric neighbourhoods, with charming streets, restaurants, coffee bars and shops just around the corner. The Grote Markt and Grote Houtstraat are only a few minutes’ walk away, and the railway station is also nearby. At the same time, this is a surprisingly peaceful place to live, right in Haarlem’s historic city centre. The dunes and beach are within easy cycling distance, while Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport and The Hague are also easily accessible.
