A grand old apartment on the edge of the park
This apartment sits on the Wagenweg, right where the street meets the greenery of the Florapark. It is a lively spot, with the park on one side and a busy road on the other, yet the centre of Haarlem is just a short stroll away. The building dates from 1892, and the home occupies the second floor of what was once a grand house. At €595,000, the asking price was keen compared with the average asking price in the neighbourhood, and it sat well below the going rate for [apartments in Haarlem]. This home has not been online since 26 October 2026.

The apartment has three rooms, two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor.

There is a balcony, and the property is sold as full ownership. The living area was listed as 69 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 78 m². The monthly homeowners' association contribution was €17,800, which was worth noting.
