Description
Charming 1930s family home with original features, bright living space and extended kitchen. This charming 1930s family home is full of character and original features, offering a bright living room with a bay window and an extended kitchen. Three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a sunny garden with a spacious shed and convenient rear access complete the picture. And the location? A friendly, family-oriented neighbourhood with all amenities just a stone’s throw away.
Situated on the corner of Timorstraat and Celebesstraat, this delightful family home immediately exudes the charm of the 1930s. Authentic features such as panelled doors, a terrazzo floor and an attractive bay window create a warm and characterful atmosphere. The cosy sitting area is located at the front of the property, while the dining area at the rear benefits from French doors opening onto the garden. The extended kitchen is wonderfully bright thanks to a roof lantern and glazed side panel. Both the kitchen door and the French doors provide direct access to the sunny rear garden. Owing to the favourable corner position, you can enjoy either sunshine or shade at any time of day. At the rear of the garden is a generous timber shed spanning the full width of the plot, complete with practical rear access—ideal for storing bicycles, gardening equipment and wheelie bins. The upper floors offer three comfortable bedrooms, a modern bathroom (installed in 2018), and a separate utility room with WC, storage space and plant room.
The property is located in a quiet and family-friendly residential area. Children still play safely in the street here and often gather on the grassy square around the corner. Everyday amenities are close by, including the centre of Oud-Heemstede with its local baker and delicatessen, Menno. Several primary schools and the Groenendaal woodland are nearby, while a wide range of sports facilities can be found in the surrounding area. Families will also appreciate the three playgrounds within walking distance, providing safe places for children to play and socialise. In addition, the popular Speelpark Meermond and the Linnaeushof (Europe’s largest playground) are just a short cycle ride away. The lively shopping streets of Raadhuisstraat and Binnenweg are within walking or cycling distance. Haarlem city centre and the beach can both be reached quickly and easily by bicycle. The location also offers excellent access to major roads leading to Schiphol/Amsterdam and Leiden/The Hague.
