A classic apartment in a quiet corner of Haarlem
This apartment on Van Collemstraat sits in a peaceful part of Sinnevelt, a neighbourhood that feels a world away from the city bustle yet is still very much part of Haarlem. With 88 m² of living space and a C energy label, it offered a solid base for someone looking for a home with character. The last known asking price of €450,000 was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €412,031, but it reflected the size and the fact that apartments in Haarlem were always in demand. This home has not been online since 30 September 2026.
