Park Oosterspaarn 16

This is a home where the sense of space and tranquillity is apparent from the very first moment. Modern architecture, large windows and generously proportioned rooms create a bright, airy atmosphere, while the setting feels wonderfully private. To the rear, the property borders the park directly, with access straight from the garden. A special place offering plenty of privacy and ample space for children to play outdoors.

The generously sized living room provides space for several distinct living areas. Large windows surround the sitting area at the rear, framing the garden and park as a beautiful green backdrop. There is also ample room for a large dining table. At the front of the house, the distinctive semicircular Bulthaup kitchen features a welcoming breakfast bar, a Gaggenau oven, an induction hob, a fridge and a Quooker boiling-water tap. Adjoining the kitchen is a practical utility room with additional fridge and freezer space, plumbing for laundry appliances and plenty of storage.

The practical aspects of this home have been equally well considered. A spacious utility room adjoining the kitchen offers plumbing for laundry appliances and extensive cupboard and storage space. From here, there is access to the integral garage, which accommodates one car and has an electric roller door and a separate external door. The generous driveway provides parking for two cars.

The garden offers different places to enjoy the sunshine throughout the day. Morning coffee by the pond, a sunny terrace later on, and leisurely evenings dining outdoors or unwinding with a glass of wine. There is a timber shed, as well as a separate bicycle store accessible from both the rear garden and the front of the property. Perhaps best of all, the park begins right at the end of the garden.

Upstairs, there is ample room for a large family. The first floor has four bedrooms, three of which enjoy uninterrupted views over the garden and park. The generous principal bedroom has its own walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom with a bath, shower and twin-basin vanity unit. There is also a second bathroom with a shower and vanity unit, along with a separate WC. Exposed timber beams and roof timbers give the second floor a distinctive character. Here, two further bedrooms offer storage space and Velux roof windows; one also has its own washbasin. Both bedrooms open onto the exceptionally spacious roof terrace. A wonderful floor for older children, guests or those working from home. As some neighbours have already done, the 25 m² roof terrace can be enclosed to create a wonderfully bright, heated room.

The property also performs well in terms of sustainability. With an energy rating of A, 16 solar panels, double glazing throughout and wall, roof and floor insulation, it offers comfortable, energy-efficient living. Awnings and shutters help maintain a pleasant indoor temperature. The house is also beautifully maintained and ready to move into.

This peaceful, leafy residential neighbourhood has an active community, with events including Christmas drinks and a neighbourhood barbecue. A residents’ working group collaborates with the local council to promote biodiversity and a greener environment. There is a children’s playground just around the corner. The location combines this sense of tranquillity with all the convenience of Haarlem. Everyday shopping is just a few minutes away by bicycle, with supermarkets including Jumbo and Albert Heijn, while schools, sports facilities and other amenities are also close by. Haarlem city centre is approximately a 15-minute cycle ride along the River Spaarne, and the shops on Jan van Goyenstraat and Binnenweg are around eight minutes away by bicycle. Connections to Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport are excellent.
