Zocherlaan 68

Exclusive and spacious townhouse of 419m², exuding an international allure and part of the so-called “Carré van Bloemendaal” residential estate.

The former nationally listed complex has been turned into a residential complex that comprises, amongst others, this magnificent townhouse remodelled and renovated both inside and outside under architectural design by Heiko Hulscher. The residence has a floor space of 419m², energy label A+, and a surprising layout with ceilings reaching a height of approx. 5.80m. This particularly stunning townhouse (completed in 2018) was redesigned completely, based on just the shell, with only premium materials. It now boasts splendid sightlines and exudes optimal peace and tranquillity as every space is beautifully connected.

It sits on the site of the former provincial hospital that was built in the stately Classicist architectural style in 1848, with a “square-corridor” layout designed by architect J.D. Zocher Jr. The complex is surrounded by nature and on the edge of the Kennemerland National Park with its many walking trails and cycling routes to, e.g., Parnassia, Bloemendaal aan Zee, the villages of Bloemendaal and Santpoort-Zuid (which include railway stations), The Grote Markt in the historical centre of Haarlem is only a 15-minute (electric) bike ride.

The moment you enter the property, you will be struck by the warm colour scheme and use of natural materials. The house offers ultimate comfort and luxury living and is finished to a very high standard. Every little detail is there for a reason and the house includes all the mod-cons and security features one expects these days. All the rooms have underfloor heating, double HR++ glazing, optimal insulation, and the residence no longer requires to be connected to the gas mains thanks to the low-temperature heating system that can be operated per room.
