Tweede Vooruitgangstraat 10

So much light and space! This 1898 property was thoroughly refurbished in 2017 and stylishly renovated while preserving its character, offering plenty of opportunities for the future. The moment you step into the living room, you immediately feel the spacious, open ambiance. The ground-floor living area has been significantly expanded thanks to the rear extension. At the front is the eat-in kitchen with an island – a nice, bright space with high windows that let in lots of daylight. Here, cooking is a real pleasure! The living room on the garden side is characterized by an impressive, floor-to-ceiling aluminum façade spanning the full height of the property. This creates an open, spacious feel and offers a stunning view of the deep backyard. Through the French doors you step into the north-facing backyard. Thanks to the garden’s depth, the sun shines year-round, even in winter at the rear under the covered terrace. On the first floor, there are two spacious bedrooms and a modern bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, double sink, and designer radiator. Via a fixed staircase you reach the attic, currently used as a guest room with provisions for the central heating boiler. This lovely family home currently has three spacious bedrooms, with the option to expand the attic – subject to planning permission – from 95 m² to approximately 132 m², creating as many as 5 bedrooms!

The property is located in the much-loved Oude Amsterdamse buurt: quiet and family-friendly, yet with everything within reach. Amsterdamstraat, with its supermarket, bakery, shops, and eateries, is literally around the corner. The historic center of Haarlem is a ten-minute walk away. Primary schools and playgrounds are within a short distance. By bike you can reach Haarlem or Spaarnwoude station in just a few minutes, and by car you can quickly head towards the A9 to Amsterdam, Schiphol, The Hague, and Utrecht. The beaches of Bloemendaal and Zandvoort are accessible within 15–20 minutes by car or about half an hour by bike.
