Rie Mastenbroekstraat 5

Enter through the private front garden into the dining room with open kitchen: the central living area of the house. Thanks to the private entrance and logical layout, the ground floor lends itself perfectly to a home office or practice. The kitchen is currently on the ground floor but could be relocated to the first floor, creating space for a practice while keeping the first floor as the main living area. Behind the chalkboard door are a practical storage room, a separate toilet and internal access to the garage—ideal for storage, equipment and bicycles.

On the first floor, the windows steal the show. Daylight streams in from two sides, making the wooden floor shine. At the front is the living room with open views; at the rear a generous dining room with a wall of built-in cabinets and access to the sunny terrace. A floor made for living and entertaining: long dinners, relaxing with a good book or drinks with friends. Clever storage keeps everything close at hand and neatly tucked away, so every square metre is used to the fullest.

The second floor features a spacious bedroom spanning the full width at the rear. Centrally located is the full bathroom with bathtub, shower, toilet and washbasin, plus a separate laundry room with washing machine connections. At the front are two additional rooms, ideal as bedrooms, a study or hobby space—flexible and easy to adapt.

The top floor surprises with a versatile living/working space with large built-in wardrobes and room for a loft bed or cosy reading nook. With windows on both sides, there’s abundant natural light. The front terrace completes the picture: sun all day and colourful sunsets in the evening.

Rie Mastenbroekstraat is in the Sportliedenbuurt, a quiet, green neighbourhood just outside Haarlem’s vibrant city centre. Around the corner is hotspot Haarlemmerstroom, including Mooie Boules, Peakz Padel and Skatepark Haarlem. The street shares a communal green garden maintained by neighbours. Not green-fingered? Bringing a coffee counts too. Within a few minutes by bike you reach the historic city centre with charming terraces, monumental canals and countless shops. Dunes and beach are surprisingly close, as are the railway station and major roads to Amsterdam, Schiphol and The Hague. The district itself offers plenty of play areas for children, various schools and sports facilities nearby, and a relaxed, village feel right in the city.
