Louise de Colignylaan 22

This elegant villa has a beautiful appearance and a particularly charming interior. The classic herringbone parquet flooring with decorative border, stained-glass windows, attractive wood panelling and rounded details in the windows and archways give the house plenty of character. The spacious central hallway provides access to all rooms. The bright living room features an attractive bay window with stained glass, a fireplace with enclosed fire and an adjoining side room. Built-in cupboards with stained-glass doors create an elegant division between the sitting and dining rooms. The dining room opens onto the garden. The modern separate kitchen offers ample worktop and cupboard space, a wide range of integrated appliances and plenty of natural light from the side window. The garden is also accessible from the kitchen.

The impressive staircase with wood panelling and a large stained-glass window is a real eye-catcher. The first floor has three spacious bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, a bathroom and a separate toilet. One bedroom has French doors opening onto the sunny south-facing balcony. The second floor offers two further bedrooms, a second bathroom and a large open attic area. An ideal space for a playroom, home office or gym. There is also a spacious storage loft.

The villa has a large front garden and a lovely south-facing rear garden. A major advantage is the rear access to the popular private lane shared by the properties on Louise Colignylaan, Prins Mauritslaan and Anna van Burenlaan. A safe and friendly place where children can play freely and neighbours meet. There is also private parking at the rear. The integral garage has an electric overhead door and its own storage loft.

The location is ideal. Louise Colignylaan is a quiet, leafy street in the sought-after Zuiderhoutpark neighbourhood. Haarlemmerhout park is nearby, along with various schools, sports facilities and the shops and restaurants of Jan van Goyenstraat and Binnenweg. Haarlem’s historic city centre is a short cycle ride away, with easy access to major roads towards Amsterdam, Schiphol and The Hague.
