Maraisstraat 7

This home features a beautiful blend of modern design and authentic charm: high ceilings, rich colors, and warm wood tones combine to form a stylish whole. The dark accents give the interior a chic boutique feel. The living space feels wonderfully open and inviting, a place where long dinners, quiet coffee moments, and cozy evenings happen naturally. The kitchen has a contemporary look and is equipped with various luxury built-in appliances. And then there is the city garden… a hidden cocoon in the middle of the city. Intimate, green, and the perfect place to unwind completely. As the icing on the cake, you also enjoy a surprising amount of sunshine here. On the upper floor, the house takes on an even cozier and more serene atmosphere. Stylishly finished, with a particularly luxurious detail being a freestanding bathtub in the master bedroom, a true eye-catcher.

The home is situated in the charming Transvaalbuurt neighborhood, on a nice and quiet street. It is a pleasant residential area, a five-minute bike ride north of Haarlem station, with all major amenities and the hustle and bustle of Haarlem’s city center within easy reach. The Spaarneboog shopping center (including Vomar, Action, and a sports center) and the Cronjé shopping street (featuring Hema, Blokker, and an AH XL, among others) are literally around the corner, as is the Spaarne river. Additionally, there is a wide range of schools, childcare facilities, and playgrounds. The Grote Markt with its terraces and restaurants can be reached in a ten-minute bike ride. Those who prefer to enjoy nature can cycle to the dunes, the beach, and the sea in less than half an hour. Closer to home, the Schoteroog recreation area on the waters of De Mooie Nel, as well as Zuid-Kennemerland National Park, are located a fifteen-minute bike ride away. The A9 towards Amsterdam, Alkmaar, and Schiphol is also easily accessible. Via the Waarderpolder, you are on the motorway within ten minutes.
