Located along one of the most beautiful canals in the center of Haarlem, in the beloved Burgwal neighborhood, this spacious and unique monumental building offers a remarkable living experience. Living on the Burgwal means being in the heart of the city, yet surrounded by a friendly neighborhood where everyone knows each other. In the summer, the area comes alive with boats navigating the canal, creating a picturesque setting.
This residence is part of a former school and is classified as a municipal monument. The characteristic building has been divided into three residential units, with this particular home standing out due to its immense spatial experience and fantastic natural light. The living area features a high ceiling and numerous large windows with divided panes, enhancing the sense of openness. Additionally, the property includes a quietly situated rooftop terrace facing southwest, providing ample privacy for relaxation.
The layout includes a central hall on the ground floor, with an entrance leading to a spacious and impressive living room that boasts a high ceiling and a beautiful fireplace. On the canal side, there is an elevation that offers a stunning view over the water. A stylish movable suite wall with glass and divided panes connects the living area to the dining room and open kitchen, which together measure a generous 30 m² and are filled with light thanks to the high windows. The kitchen was renovated in 2015 and features a concrete countertop, a six-burner stove, and a Quooker. Adjacent to the kitchen is a storage room and cabinet space. The suite wall allows for separation or connection between the dining area and the living space.
A staircase from the elevation leads to a spacious landing with multiple usage possibilities. This landing opens into an open workspace with a built-in closet, ideal for working quietly or engaging in creative activities while maintaining contact with the living area. Halfway up the stairs to the first floor, there is a landing with a closet housing the central heating installation. The upper floor features a new (2019) open bathroom equipped with a shower, toilet, bathtub, and wide sink, alongside a charming, bright master bedroom with built-in closets. A dormer (2018) with French doors provides access to the private rooftop terrace, perfectly positioned for sunshine and privacy. The second bedroom at the front includes a spacious storage closet and a tilt-and-turn window.
