In an idyllic spot in a quiet street on the edge of the village is this spacious, modern converted detached house. The surprising element of the house is at the rear and is the large extension with a beautiful unobstructed view. Both from the kitchen with room-wide sliding doors and from the new terrace cover you look over the deep garden and lands to the beautiful, ever-changing Frisian skies. The deck terrace on the waterfront offers space for a small boat so that a boat trip on Sunday is certainly possible. In addition to a very spacious living room with open kitchen, the house has 3 spacious bedrooms/work rooms, one of which is on the ground floor as well as the bathroom so that the house is also life-proof.

The full-width aluminum sliding doors offer a panoramic view of the deep garden and the landscape behind where the ever-changing Frisian skies never get bored. The newly added terrace cover is a nice extension of the living room, it is quickly good to stay here with the first rays of sunshine.
FIRST FLOOR
The landing is accessible via the landing stairs. Here are two spacious bedrooms with plastic dormers on both sides equipped with tilt-and-turn windows and plenty of storage space behind the knee bulkheads.
The room on the garden side has a really great view of the countryside and a terrace door to the roof of the extension which is equipped with 12 new solar panels.
The modern toilet with daylight is equipped with a stylish washbasin unit and is located on the landing between the two rooms.
STORAGE/BARY/YARD
A covered bicycle storage is placed on the paved terrace when entering through the wide gate with walk-through door. This one also has a large garden cupboard.
The terrace has plenty of spots in the sun or shade and flows seamlessly into the lawn. Near the waterfront is a gazebo for garden tools, barbeque equipment and boat attributes. The paved driveway in front of the wide gate can accommodate 5 cars.
GARDEN
The lovely garden is focussed on the south and west. It has recently been raised, levelled and re-grassed. The beautiful floral borders are about to come out now that spring is approaching. On the deck on the waterfront it is wonderful to stay on a hot day. The water can be sailed with a small boat. The beautiful, always changing Frisian views over the water and meadow are never boring. Hares, sheep and a whole bird paradise, they all pass by here.
