Grand living in the heart of Haarlem – 285 m² of character, comfort and class

Opportunities like this rarely come to market. Set on a quiet, historic street in the centre of Haarlem, this exceptionally spacious and luxuriously finished apartment (approx. 285 m²) occupies the first floor of a listed monument. A home with the charm of a canal house, the comfort of a modern build, and the elegance of a loft.

For those looking to live generously and effortlessly in one of Haarlem’s most desirable locations, this is the perfect find.

This national monument, originally built in the 17th and 18th centuries, was thoroughly renovated in 2020. Restored from the structural shell with great care for its historic details – including soaring ceilings, original marble fireplaces, and classic window frames – while bringing in the highest standards of modern comfort. Think sleek finishes, quality installations, a stylish kitchen, luxury bathrooms and custom built-in cabinetry – all executed with an eye for detail and balance between old and new.

The apartment is accessible by lift and forms part of a small, impeccably maintained building.

Layout

The elegant entrance gate leads to a shared stairwell and lift. On the first floor, the apartment spans the entire level, with all rooms on one floor and a thoughtfully designed layout.

A spacious hallway leads to a guest WC with walk-in shower and opens into the bright and atmospheric living and dining rooms at the front of the building. High ceilings, tall windows and marble fireplaces lend both character and class. An additional room at the front is ideal as a study, library or TV room.

The modern kitchen, complete with cooking island, is directly connected to the dining room, which sits slightly lower, creating a playful and open spatial flow. The adjacent utility room is fully fitted with an extra sink, wine climate cabinet and refrigerator.

At the quiet rear, the generously sized bedroom features a bespoke wall of fitted wardrobes and direct access to the luxury en-suite bathroom. Here you’ll find a freestanding bathtub, double walk-in shower, double vanity, WC and a separate laundry room. There is also a pantry, a separate technical room, and an additional room currently used as a private practice or workspace.
