When we first saw this house ourselves, we knew immediately that this would be the house where our first child would be born. The beautiful en-suite bathroom, cozy bedroom, lovely kitchen, pleasant light extension, and of course the wonderful garden. We would really feel at home here.
And we succeeded! We especially enjoy spending time in the lovely open kitchen and living room. We made these spaces our own with new tiles in the kitchen and a warm yellow color in the living room. It's wonderful to enjoy long dinners with friends in the open kitchen or sit outside in the garden in the evening when the weather is nice.
And then there's the fact that the house is located in the cozy Hoofddorpplein neighborhood, which is really like a village within the city. There are nice restaurants, bars, and great shops in the area. We often go for a walk on Saturdays, have a cup of coffee, and let our daughter play in one of the many playgrounds in the Hoofddorpplein neighborhood. The street is also very pleasant. In the summer, it's wonderful to sit in front of our house in the sun, drink a cup of coffee, and chat with the neighbors. And when we feel like going for a walk, we can be in Rembrandtpark or Vondelpark in no time.
We are going to miss this house and this place terribly, but for us it is time to leave the city and start a new adventure in Bussum. This house will always hold a special place in our hearts and we hope that new residents will enjoy it as much as we have done over the years.
