De Willem
In 2019, I purchased the shell of this double ground-floor apartment on Willem de Zwijgerlaan for this couple (the current owners). What was then still an empty space, we immediately saw as a wonderful opportunity. Together, we recognized the potential of this family home. After the purchase, they transformed the property into a warm and welcoming home, with great attention to detail, high-quality materials, and an efficient layout.
It’s a comfortable house, thanks to the spacious living area, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and of course, the west-facing garden.
An ideal family home with a sunny garden, ground lease bought off until 2067, and an energy label A+.
