Seller’s Story While searching for a home, our attention was drawn to the Breevaart canal. We sat by the water on a bench for a moment to enjoy it. What a beautiful place with those enormous trees. And so close to the city center, the intercity train station, and the countryside—exactly what we needed. From the very first viewing, we immediately felt: this house has a great vibe; we could truly feel at home here. It has been beautifully renovated while preserving many original 1930s features, which we loved. In our minds, the large basement immediately became the perfect business space. The extension at the rear made the living room wonderfully bright—a lovely place to read and enjoy the sun. The house was perhaps a bit larger than we initially needed, but we have never regretted our choice and have lived here for many years with enormous pleasure in this friendly neighborhood.
