Haarlem
Korte Houtstraat 19 RD
Description
What a fantastic upper-floor apartment! Bright, full of character and finished with great attention to detail. Featuring a welcoming living room with wood-burning stove, open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The high pitched ceiling with exposed roof beams adds extra character to the sleeping floor. All this in the heart of the Vijfhoek, on perhaps Haarlem’s most photographed street!
The living room is wonderfully bright thanks to three large windows at the front. The parquet flooring, wood-burning stove and sleek radiator cover create a calm and inviting atmosphere. At the rear is the open-plan kitchen with stainless-steel worktop and integrated sink. Stylish and practical, with a full range of built-in appliances, a Quooker providing boiling and sparkling water and plenty of storage.
Upstairs, the space has been cleverly used. The front bedroom features a high pitched ceiling with exposed beams and a dormer window with shutters. The handmade headboard with built-in sockets and storage fits perfectly into the space. There is also a second bedroom with skylight and a modern bathroom with walk-in shower and double washbasin. A practical loft above the second bedroom and bathroom provides additional storage.
Korte Houtstraat is a typical Haarlem street: charming, green and right in the historic city centre. The residents regularly decorate the street together, including the now well-known lampshades above the streetlights. It is no surprise that this is one of Haarlem’s most photographed spots. The well-known cheese fondue restaurant In ’t Goede Uur is on the street, while plenty of restaurants, coffee bars and shops are just around the corner. Grote Houtstraat, Botermarkt, Grote Markt and Frederikspark are all within easy walking distance. City-centre living with plenty of charm!
