The seller explains. When did you buy the property and why did you decide to buy it at that time? I bought this property in January 2021. I was immediately attracted by the light rooms with high ceilings and windows with unobstructed views of the greenery. I was already living in Oost at the time and always thought it was a very nice neighborhood to live in, because of its lively atmosphere and diversity. What makes living in this house and neighborhood so pleasant? After purchasing the apartment, I had it completely renovated to my own taste. It has a nice layout with a spacious living room with an open kitchen and two bedrooms. The entire apartment has underfloor heating, which is also very pleasant. The neighborhood has really blossomed in recent years in terms of restaurants and cafés. There are many cozy cafés and nice restaurants in the area.

I am leaving this property with a heavy heart and hope that the new residents will enjoy living here as much as I have over the past few years.
