Parklaan 104 A

The first floor is perhaps the finest example of this combination. The interconnecting living rooms feature three large front windows with stained-glass fanlights, a beautiful ornate ceiling and a freestanding soapstone stove. The open-plan kitchen has a contemporary industrial feel, with a wooden worktop and a five-burner gas cooker beneath the original raised chimney breast. At the rear is one of the loveliest spots in the house: the wide window seat. Specially designed to respect the property’s listed status, with two large windows that open wide. A wonderful place to enjoy the sunshine, a coffee and views of the surroundings.

The second floor offers two bedrooms and a recently fully renovated bathroom. Beautifully finished with a terrazzo floor, polished concrete walls, a spacious walk-in shower and a double vanity unit. Characteristic features, including the exposed roof beams, have also been preserved here.

And then the top floor! The former attic has been completely transformed into a functional space, with a guest room/sunroom, kitchenette, laundry area and plenty of storage. But the real surprise is the Cabrio balcony! A large roof window that unfolds into a balcony, offering truly spectacular city views. St Bavo’s Church, De Adriaan windmill, the Bakenesser Tower and the Koepel: Haarlem’s most beautiful landmarks are literally at your feet. An exceptional home, with something to fall in love with on every floor!

The location is fantastic! Within walking distance of Haarlem’s vibrant city centre and railway station. Opposite De Kring primary school, meaning no neighbours directly opposite in the late afternoon or evening! On the other side of the school is the well-known Kenamju sports centre, with swimming pool and sauna. Childcare is one street away, while several secondary schools, including the international school, are within cycling distance. The centre’s charming shopping streets, restaurants, coffee bars and terraces are just around the corner. Excellent road connections to Amsterdam, Schiphol and The Hague are also easily accessible. A wonderful combination of peaceful living and vibrant city life!
