Haarlem
Rollandslaan 56
Description
A charming 1920s home! Bright living room, 2 good-sized bedrooms (with potential for a third), and a large front, side, and back yard with a back entrance. Located in one of Haarlem’s most sought-after neighborhoods: the Ramplaankwartier. The green Ramplaankwartier is known for its beautiful, peaceful surroundings and the warm, welcoming atmosphere that prevails there. And all within biking distance of downtown!
What a bright and charming home! The moment you walk in, you can tell this place has been lived in with love. This home hasn’t just been maintained; it’s been cherished. Many original features have been preserved, such as the paneled doors, the staircase, and the balustrade. Other details have been deliberately restored to their original condition, such as the front doorbell and the characteristic cut-joint in the facade. The sturdy wooden floor, laid as a floating floor, feels like a very natural complement to these features. The contemporary feel comes from the finishes, including smoothly plastered walls on the ground floor and luxurious materials in the bathroom.
The surrounding garden is beautifully landscaped and gives you the feeling of being on vacation. When the French doors are open, the indoors and outdoors are directly connected. Thanks to the southwest-facing location of the backyard, it is wonderfully sunny there. On really hot days, a large awning over the patio provides the necessary shade. The front yard also offers plenty of privacy thanks to the depth of the garden and the quietness of the street. So, all year round, there’s always a spot to sit outside, whether you want to be in or out of the sun.
Quote from the seller:
We have called this place our home with so much love and joy; the house and the neighborhood have embraced us from the moment we arrived.
The Ramplaankwartier is a child-friendly, almost village-like residential area with local shops, elementary schools, and a playground. You’ll also find restaurants like Loetje, Stach, and Het Wapen van Kennemerland just around the corner. The surroundings are beautiful, with the Elswout estate and the dunes within walking distance. A 20-minute bike ride takes you to the beach, and with the center of Haarlem just a 10-minute bike ride away, this neighborhood offers the “best of both worlds”: peace and space plus all the excitement of the bustling city within easy reach. The Overveen train station is nearby, allowing you to reach Amsterdam in no time, as well as take bus 80 directly to Elandsgracht. Major roads leading to Amsterdam, Schiphol, and The Hague are in the immediate vicinity.
