Jan Gijzenkade 237

A lovely family home with a fantastic view over the water and greenery!

This lovely family home enjoys unobstructed, sweeping views over the Jan Gijzenvaart and the surrounding greenery. It is a house with great potential and a wealth of possibilities. The ground floor could be extended, the kitchen could be opened up, and the attic could be fitted with a large dormer window at the rear and a smaller one at the front (subject to planning permission). Of course, this isn’t essential, but it would allow you to significantly increase the living space. The house already has a surprisingly spacious feel and is wonderfully light. You can sense the atmosphere the moment you step inside. The hall still features the original tiles from when the house was built, and the attic still has the stained-glass vestibule doors. The living room has large windows and is wonderfully light. The separate kitchen is neatly fitted and could be opened up to create an open-plan layout with the living room. The sunny back garden enjoys unobstructed views and features a rear access and a detached stone shed. On the first floor are two large bedrooms and one smaller bedroom, as well as a modern bathroom with a second toilet, a shower cubicle, a washbasin unit, underfloor heating and a designer radiator. There is a further spacious bedroom in the attic. By installing dormer windows, two rooms could be created here.

The property is situated in the sought-after “Delftwijk” neighbourhood, known for its green surroundings and excellent amenities. With its stunning views over the Jan Gijzenvaart, you’ll enjoy a beautiful, unobstructed view of the “Schoterbos”, which features sports fields, a small petting farm and a small zoo called “Artisklas”. Within cycling distance are the NS Central Station Haarlem and the bustling centre of Haarlem, the beach and the dunes. There are also various primary schools, secondary schools, childcare facilities, gyms and a range of supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Are you a nature lover? There are several recreational areas nearby, such as the Hekslootpolder, the Kennemer Dunes and the Spaarnwoude recreational area. For a lovely walk or some exercise, you can also head to the nearby Schoterbos and Zaanenbos. It’s a lovely place for children to grow up. For your daily shopping, head to the lively Marsmanplein.

Ground floor: entrance hall with original wall tiles. The stained-glass entrance hall doors are still in place. The wonderfully light-filled living room has large windows at the front and French doors at the rear. (The gas heater in the living room is no longer in use.) If desired, the neat kitchen can be opened up to create a direct connection with the living room. The kitchen is fitted with various built-in appliances. There is also a modern toilet with a washbasin and a stair cupboard on this floor. The sunny back garden is unobstructed and features a rear access path and a detached stone shed.

First floor: landing. At the front of the property is a large bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a smaller bedroom/study. The spacious master bedroom is situated at the rear. The French doors lead out onto the spacious balcony. This bedroom also has a fitted wardrobe. Furthermore, at the rear is the modern bathroom, fitted with a second toilet, a shower cubicle, a washbasin unit, underfloor heating and a designer radiator.

2nd floor; landing with space for the central heating boiler and the connection for the washing machine/tumble dryer. Spacious bedroom with a small dormer window. This could be extended by installing a large dormer window at the rear and a smaller one (subject to planning permission) at the front. Loft.
