For around 11 years we have enjoyed the peace and quiet of the street and the proximity of schools, sports clubs, theatres and restaurants. Now that we are approaching (early) retirement, we are ready for a new chapter. We have decided to move to Drenthe, and therefore our home is now for sale.” Layout Entrance to the apartment.
