Renovated 1-Bedroom Apartment Oude Zijlvest, Haarlem

This renovated and spacious one-bedroom apartment is located on Oude Zijlvest 6B in the heart of Haarlem's historical city center, within the Vijfhoek quarter. Situated on the second and highest floor of a small-scale monumental building that contains only two apartments, the home combines authentic charm with modern living comfort. The property offers a living area of 75 m² with a volume of 292 m² and features beautiful laminate flooring, impressively high ceilings, and a luxurious open-plan kitchen. It is rented partially upholstered and includes two spacious wardrobes. The apartment is part of a national monument built in 1881, thoroughly renovated in 2017, and made sustainable to achieve an energy label B. It is fully equipped with high-quality monument glass with the same insulation value as HR++ glass. On the ground floor, a shared enclosed entrance with a stately staircase provides access to the two apartments.

The interior of the apartment is bright and thoughtfully laid out. At the front of the home, a large multifunctional space can be ideally set up as a home office, while the spacious bedroom is also located at the front of the property. The open-plan kitchen is fitted with various built-in appliances, creating a seamless cooking and living experience. The modern bathroom is finished with a sleek washbasin and a walk-in shower, complemented by a separate luxury toilet with its own hand basin. With two rooms in total—one bedroom and one living area—the layout is well-suited for singles or couples seeking a comfortable city home.

The location is a standout feature, positioned on the border of Haarlem's Old Town and the Vijfhoek Quarter. Within minutes, residents can walk to the Botermarkt, Houtplein, or Grote Markt, where bustling terraces, specialty shops, and excellent restaurants create a lively atmosphere. Green spaces such as the Haarlemmerhout city forest are just around the corner, offering a peaceful escape. Thanks to the central setting, arterial roads to Amsterdam, Schiphol, and The Hague are easily accessible. Public transport stops within a one-minute walk, and Haarlem's main railway station is a ten-minute walk away. A mandatory private parking space is available behind the building for an additional monthly fee of €100, as no municipal parking permit can be issued.

In terms of practical details, the rental agreement runs for a minimum of 18 months and then automatically converts to an indefinite term. The tenant is responsible for the costs of gas, electricity, water, TV/internet, and municipal taxes, in addition to the monthly rent. Pets and smoking are not permitted in the apartment. The property is available from August 2026 and is suited for tenants with their own stable and sufficient monthly income from work. A guarantor or a tenant who cannot occupy the property themselves will not be considered.
