Haarlem
Papentorenvest 12 RD
Description
On the edge of Haarlem’s city center and a stone’s throw from the Spaarne river, you will find this spacious upper house with a unique layout, surprisingly ample space, and wonderful natural light. An attractive living room surrounds the centrally located staircase, an admirable kitchen for true cooking enthusiasts, and a sunny south-facing roof terrace. Three spacious bedrooms, a practical bathroom, and a large storage attic complete the picture.
The private entrance leads to the first floor of this characteristic upper floor apartment. Here you will be immediately surprised by the unusual layout. The staircase in the middle of the house divides the space in a playful way, allowing the living room to offer different seating areas. This makes it easy to create a separate reading corner, workspace, or dining area without losing the open character. Thanks to the many windows, light floods in beautifully, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The open Boretti kitchen is a real eye-catcher. With ample workspace, high-quality appliances, and stylish finishes, this is the perfect place for those who love to cook and dine. Adjacent to the kitchen and living room is the roof terrace, where you can enjoy the sun all day long thanks to its favorable south-facing location.
On the second floor, there are three spacious bedrooms, two at the front and one very spacious master bedroom at the rear with a handy walk-in closet. The neat bathroom has a shower, sink, toilet, and mechanical ventilation. Finally, there is a large attic, ideal for storage and for installing the central heating boiler.
The location of this house is truly ideal. Just a few minutes’ walk away is the atmospheric Grote Markt in Haarlem, with its cozy terraces, restaurants, and shops. Around the corner flows the characteristic Spaarne river, and directly opposite the house is the monumental former Koepelgevangenis prison, now transformed into an inspiring place full of creativity and innovation. The Koepel is now a lively hub for education, startups, and events. You can also go to the movies or dine at the beautiful Corridor restaurant. In addition, nature is within easy reach: by bike, you can be in the dunes or on the beach within twenty minutes. The location is also ideal for commuters, as the Rottepolderplein allows you to reach the highway in just a few minutes, taking you to Amsterdam, Schiphol, or Alkmaar.
