Entrance with a spacious hall and corridor featuring the meter cupboard (18 groups and 5 residual current devices), a deep storage closet, and a modern toilet with washbasin. Beneath the staircase is a second storage closet housing the underfloor heating installation.
At the front of the house is the charming living room with elegant en-suite doors and built-in cupboards on both sides. At the rear, the property has been extended across the full width and fitted with a robust anthracite-grey façade with tall windows, providing an abundance of natural light. This area houses the modern open-plan kitchen, fully equipped with built-in appliances including an induction cooktop with Bora extraction system, Quooker, dishwasher, double ovens, and a fridge-freezer combination.
The extension is stylishly finished with a distinctive combination of wood materials. Through the tall French doors, you have direct access to the sunny southwest-facing garden with a detached shed.
The entire ground floor is fitted with underfloor heating and finished partly with light oak parquet flooring in a herringbone (Hungarian point) pattern and partly with light granito floor tiles.

The bedrooms and dressing room are finished with beautiful light oak parquet flooring.

This floor has a particularly atmospheric character thanks to the exposed wooden beams and is also finished with light oak parquet flooring.

The Neighborhood and Surroundings
Schermerstraat is located in the beloved Zijlweg Quarter, a quiet and pleasant residential area with an almost village-like atmosphere, just a stone’s throw away from everything that makes Haarlem so attractive. Here you enjoy peace and tranquility, while the vibrancy of the city is always close by.
Local shops along the Zijlweg, the historic city center of Haarlem, and a large Albert Heijn supermarket are all within a five-minute walk. Looking for nature or relaxation? The beach and dunes can be reached within approximately 20 minutes by bike. Accessibility is excellent as well: within five minutes by bike, you reach Haarlem Central Station, from where Amsterdam Central Station is about a 25-minute journey.

Living on Schermerstraat means:
a quiet, friendly, and peaceful street with a welcoming atmosphere
within walking distance of Haarlem’s vibrant city center with its restaurants, cafés, and shops
close to the beautiful Kenaupark and other green parks for relaxing walks
a primary school with childcare facilities nearby
beach and dunes within comfortable cycling distance

a pleasant mix of young families, starters, and life enthusiasts as neighbors

In short: an ideal living environment for those who want to live quietly, while having city life and nature within easy reach.

A personal note from the owner
Our favorite place in the house is without a doubt the kitchen. So light and spacious, with views of the garden and the sky above – cooking here feels like a small moment of happiness every day. In summer, we often eat outside, sheltered by the trees that provide just enough shade, making a sunshade almost unnecessary.
Even on rainy days, the house has something special. On the top floor, we listen to the raindrops on the roof; a soothing sound that makes the house feel extra safe and comforting.
When I return to France, I will take this house with me – as memories that live on, deeply anchored in my heart.
