Unique Industrial townhouse with roof terrace in the heart of historic Haarlem.
Located at the beginning of Groot Heiligland, one of the most characterful and layered streets in the old city center, lies this exceptional home of approximately 180m² with origins dating back to 1885. Groot Heiligland is one of the oldest streets in Haarlem and has been part of the city's historic core since the late Middle Ages. The name refers to the centuries-old history of almshouses and monasteries in this neighborhood, where monumental courtyards and cultural icons such as the former St. Elisabeth Gasthuis and the Frans Hals Museum define the streetscape. A location where Haarlem is at its most beautiful: within walking distance of the Grote Markt, museums, fine restaurants, and the main shopping streets, while the home itself offers a sense of peace and seclusion right in the middle of the city.
Accessibility is excellent. Haarlem Station, arterial roads towards Amsterdam and Schiphol, as well as the beaches of Bloemendaal and Zandvoort, are within easy reach. An ideal combination of urban vibrancy and comfortable living. The property, originally consisting of a shop/house and an adjacent warehouse, has been incorporated into a Homeowners' Association (VvE) in recent years, reconfigured, and modernized and made sustainable in key areas. For instance, the living room is partially insulated, fitted with new double glazing and stylish shutters, and the central heating boiler was recently replaced. The entire property features a sleek, high-quality finish with a contemporary industrial signature.
Entrance with hall, cloakroom, and meter cupboard. Atmospheric living room with fantastic natural light and characteristic architecture. Spacious dining room with a generous open-plan kitchen, complete with a corner breakfast bar, Duropal granite countertop, numerous steel accents, two deep stainless steel sinks, and high-quality appliances, including a Quooker, dishwasher, 6-burner gas hob, large wide electric oven with grill, extractor hood, microwave, separate Liebherr fridge-freezer, dishwasher, connection for a second dishwasher available, washing machine and dryer connections, and a practical pantry. Luxurious bathroom with bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, and large vanity unit. Basement: A fully functional multi-purpose space with standing height and natural light entering through metal grilles from the living room. Ideal as a guest room, home office, hobby room, pantry, or wine cellar, offering a remarkably large amount of usable square footage and a tranquil atmosphere.
First floor: Open staircase to an imaginative lounge floor featuring a second seating area, a spacious work corner, and access to the “Bird’s Nest,” an intimate and unique sleeping space. Sliding door to a spacious bedroom with access to a second bathroom featuring a shower, sink, and toilet.
