Comfortable detached house with lovely garden in Lisserbroek, Netherlands
Perfect location, 20 minutes to the old cities like Amsterdam, Haarlem and Leiden. Lakes and sandy beaches are at bicycle distance. From the house a beautiful view on the countryside.
In the spring you can enjoy walking or cycling between the tulipfields and visit the most beautiful springgarden of the world, named " Keukenhof", on 2 km distance.
The house has 150 sq. meter floorspace with a seperate garage. There are two large bedrooms (24 and 16 sq.meter) on the first floor where extra beds can be made. On the second floor there is one smaller bedroom. Wifi is available.
We have several bikes that can be used to explore the area. Like everywhere in the Netherlands there are seperate cycle lanes for safe cycling (also with children). A playground for children is 100 meter from the house.
Our electric car (Nissan Leaf) can be part of the exchange or our small petrolcar Huyandai I10.
