A letter from the seller. Dear new owner, When we first walked in, we were immediately captivated by the high ceilings, the open living spaces, and the distinctive loft-style bedroom. But the roof terrace, with its breathtaking view of the Grote Kerk, truly convinced us back then. This became our personal oasis, where we spent countless peaceful moments and watched the world pass by. Living in this beautiful Rijksmonument on the Spaarne has been a gift. You have the gentle rhythm of the water right at your doorstep, and yet you are just a five-minute walk from Haarlem's vibrant city center, with its markets, restaurants, and shops. This balance between serene waterfront and urban energy is rare and precious. We will miss this house enormously, especially the views over the water and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere of the neighborhood. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we have and that you will create many beautiful memories here. Welcome home. Good to know: - Incredible views! - Plenty of natural light throughout the home - Open layout - Southwest-facing roof terrace - Very quiet in the evenings, despite the central location - Steel foundation (Foundation scan completed July 2026) - Active homeowners association - Homeowners association contribution: €271.21 per month
