The ground floor features a spacious living room with an adjoining conservatory, two open fireplaces, a luxurious and comfortable kitchen/dining room, a very spacious study (which can easily be converted into a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, see artist's impression/floor plan), a gym (fitness room), and a large basement. On the first floor, there are now two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The thatched roof, the rod-divided windows, and doors exude character, while modern technology invisibly ensures ultimate comfort. Classic charm meets high-tech convenience, exactly as it should be. The layout is practical and well thought out, with several living areas on the ground floor. These include a spacious living room, a cozy conservatory, and an attractive kitchen. This is not a place to cook, but a place to live. Enjoy hours of dining, relaxing drinks with friends, and cozy winter evenings by the fireplace. Pour yourself a glass of wine from the wine cabinet, open the garden doors, and relax on the cozy terrace overlooking the river “de Vecht.”The delightful, spacious study where work and relaxation go hand in hand. Here you can concentrate on your work, and then just as easily do a few squats in the adjacent gym. The study is equipped with custom-made cupboards and, above all, lots of light.

If you wish to live here for the rest of your life, the study can easily be converted into an extra bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a few adjustments.The upper floor features the master bedroom, fully equipped with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Here, the tranquility is almost tangible; beautiful sweeping views of the countryside and the Vecht river through the French doors and the indoor balcony.
