Zomervaart 110

Surprising and clear lines in a comfortable converted farmhouse with a double garage in Haarlem.

Rural living in a converted farmhouse (listed as a municipal monument) with garages and ample on-site parking. Completely modernised and with a separate entrance to a home office or annexe for an au-pair. The property is favourably located in a child-friendly neighbourhood where you find lots of play areas and the International School Haarlem within easy reach. The beautiful, historical city centre of Haarlem with its vast range of shops and terraces is easy to reach on foot, by bike, or even by boat. Easy access to arterial roads to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, The Hague, and Rotterdam. Public transport connections are around the corner and the house is within cycling distance of the dunes around Zandvoort and Bloemendaal.

Layout

1st floor:
Thanks to the uniquely shaped landed staircase, lined with leather, the 1st-floor landing runs all around this floor and offers direct access to 4 separate steel-constructed wings that all have their own purpose. Magnificent glass-paned roofing has resulted in a very imposing atmosphere. To the left are a bedroom with a walk-in closet and a TV, a children’s room, a vestibule leading to a bathroom with a separate toilet, a deep free-standing bath, a sauna, and a double walk-in shower with rain shower heads. The room behind the staircase serves as a laundry room with the option to add another sink with hot and cold water. The wing on the right offers a playroom, which could also be divided to create 2 separate bedrooms. Opposite the laundry room is the technical space with the underfloor heating unit, a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and a 2nd bathroom featuring a walk-in shower with a rain shower head, a lavatory, a large washbasin unit, and an extra deep bath (Villeroy & Boch). Door and steps to the lower-positioned landing of the mezzanine above the kitchen, with skylights on all sides and a guest room with a bathroom offering a walk-in shower, a lavatory, and a washbasin unit.

The 2 ditches in front of the house are part of the property and serve as extra water drains in case of heavy rain. On top of that, the plot comes with a private mooring in the Zomervaart, which leads directly to the river Spaarne. The garden that wraps around the house is accessed via a remote-controlled gate leading to the private on-site parking for 6 cars, or via the additional wicket gate. The garden includes a roofed lounge area, a play area, several more seating areas, a drainage system and an irrigation system (connected to the water mains), a bunker for the pellet heater, and enchanting outdoor lighting.
