Middenweg 972024 XB HaarlemPlanetenbuurt

Fantastic, modern family home! Lots of light, beautifully remodelled and with a lovely open plan living kitchen in the large extension. Three large bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Sunny front and back garden, with spacious shed and back entrance. In the popular and child-friendly Planeten neighbourhood in Haarlem North. Supermarket, childcare and several schools are around the corner. What a beauty! This semi-detached house from the 1930s has been renovated with an eye for detail. Everywhere has been thought of. The house is full of surprises, unique solutions and characteristic style features. For instance, the beautiful panel doors are unique; they are old castle doors! Because they are extra high, they emphasise the height of the rooms. They are finished in high-gloss white, a beautiful combination with the clean cast floor and plastered walls. In the ridge of the house, on the other hand, a black stain was chosen to make the construction beams stand out. This is combined with coloured cupboard doors and sleek tile in the bathroom and toilet. The ground floor has been grandly extended at the rear. This created the heart of the house, namely the impressive living kitchen with a large sink and cooking island. The room has wonderful light due to the large skylight and the biggest eye-catcher of the house; the ceiling-high folding door at the rear, across the entire width! The ultimate connection between inside and outside. On sunny days, you imagine yourself in a stylish villa on Ibiza or other Mediterranean location. The architect-designed garden lends itself perfectly to cosy dinners with friends or family or to lounging or playing outside with the family. On less beautiful days or later in the evening, sit in the living room at the front, by the fireplace. On the first floor, there are 2 large bedrooms, a 3rd room (currently laundry room) and a luxurious, cool bathroom. The second big surprise is the second floor! That has been completely opened up into one spacious floor and houses the master bedroom with extra toilet, a second shower and lots of extra storage space. The Planetenbuurt is a popular and child-friendly residential area. Close to sports fields, schools, the Haarlemmer Kweektuin, shopping street ‘De Cronjé’ and several supermarkets. The Schoterbos and Zaanenpark are within walking distance and the beach and dunes are just 20 minutes away by bike. With 12 minutes' cycling you are in the middle of Haarlem's bustling city centre, on the Grote Markt. The main roads to Alkmaar, Amsterdam, Schiphol and The Hague are easy to reach.
