Timorstraat 52

This lovely family home was thoughtfully modernised and extended in 2021. Authentic 1930s features lend the property character, while the modern kitchen, updated bathroom and ground-floor underfloor heating provide contemporary comfort. The living room has ample space for a cosy sitting area at the front and a generous dining area overlooking the garden. French doors connect the living space to the sunny south-west-facing rear garden, where a covered seating area offers a lovely sheltered spot to relax outdoors.

The modern open-plan kitchen occupies the extension: a welcoming place to cook while staying connected to the living area. The L-shaped kitchen features a BORA induction hob, Quooker tap, Siemens combination steam oven, combination microwave/oven, and a large fridge and freezer. An adjoining storeroom provides practical space for provisions and cleaning supplies. The kitchen also offers direct access to the garden. Facing south-west, the garden is a wonderful place to enjoy the sunshine after school or work. The covered seating area provides shelter, with additional storage for garden cushions close at hand.

The upper floors are equally well laid out. Four spacious bedrooms, a modern bathroom and a separate laundry room make this a comfortable family home. The bright rear bedroom on the first floor has French doors opening onto a balcony. On the second floor, dormer windows bring extra light and space to both bedrooms. Ideal rooms for children, guests or a quiet home office.

The surroundings suit the house perfectly: peaceful, welcoming and family-friendly. Children still play in the street here and meet on the small green on the corner. Everyday amenities are close by in the centre of Oud-Heemstede, including the bakery and Menno delicatessen. Several primary schools and Groenendaal woodland are also nearby, with plenty of sports facilities in the area. The inviting shops along Raadhuisstraat and Binnenweg are within walking distance or a short cycle ride. Both Haarlem’s vibrant city centre and the beach are easily reached by bicycle. The property is also conveniently situated for road connections towards Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Leiden and The Hague.
