The Half-Timbered Building
At the time, I saw the building in its old, shell condition. It was then Sold by the housing association. For many parties, and the one I was looking at with, it was too big a project a building with many challenges, which all together quickly became too much of an obstacle.
The current owners took a chance and saw its potential. They embarked on the adventure. After all the plans had been devised and worked out, the contractor got to work. We saw the building for the first time when most of it was finished. Again, something very special. At that point, the extension at the rear and the terrace had not yet been completed. These were carried out and completed in a second phase, making the property more complete. As the owners moved outside Amsterdam and wanted to keep the option open to return to their city palace in the long term, the property has been rented out in recent years. Now, it has By arrangement to sell, and we have been asked to look for buyers who recognize the value of how unique this building is.
The lucky buyer will certainly have a wonderful time there. Every visitor will confirm this time and time again.
