Description of the home we are offering for exchange
WE HAVE FOUND AN EXCHANGE FOR SUMMER 2023
Our detached home (built in 2010) is situated in a friendly village right in the center of The Netherlands. Amsterdam is 40 minutes by train (station at 5 mins) or by car and the lovely city of Utrecht is only 10 minutes by train. Our house has all the modern amenities, lots of space and a wonderful garden.
If you love cooking you will definitely love our kitchen with an XXL fridge XXL Freezer and a special fridge for wine as well.
We have a separate home office downstairs which we also use as an extra living room: It has a comfy couch, large TV + DVD and a WII & WII Switch.
Outside you can sit on the terrace comfortably. When it rains you can sit under the porch and prepare a pizza in the pizza oven. Smaller children will love our lawn, pingpong table and large trampoline.
Our living room has a big couch for 6 people, a cosy fireplace and a large TV with DVD.
On the 1st floor hallway you will find our Sole F63 treadmill for those who love to exercise.
A real bonus is the fact that we have 2 bathrooms so perfect for larger families. If you drive an electric car you can charge that as we have a charger at the side of our house.
A recent addition is Airco so you'll stay cool during hot summer days!
