Schermerstraat 26 RD

In this charming duplex apartment, you can still sense its original character from 1908 through the beautiful authentic details, such as the exquisite woodcarving, stained glass windows, ornamental ceilings, and panelled doors. These classic features have been stylishly combined with modern materials and contemporary living comfort. The rear side window frames and all the windows on the front and rear were replaced with double glazing in 2024. The roof was renewed in 2023 and the property was painted at the rear in 2024 and at the front in 2025. You enter the ground floor via your own entrance. On the first floor, there is a spacious en-suite living room with plenty of natural light and a lovely marble fireplace. French doors lead to the sunny rooftop terrace, where you’ll enjoy relaxing in the sun! The open kitchen is equipped with complete built-in appliances. Additionally, at the front of the property there is an extra room that is very suitable as a study, studio, or additional storage area. A staircase with characteristic woodcarving leads you to the second floor with a generous landing area. At the rear, you’ll find a modern bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, and sink. There are two spacious bedrooms and a space for the central heating boiler, which also has a washing machine connection.

The street is quiet and friendly and is within walking distance of neighborhood shops and the bustling center of Haarlem: just cross the Zijlbrug and in 5 minutes you will be at the Grote Markt, with its excellent restaurants, cozy cafés, and charming terraces.
