What a warm, unique and contemporary atmosphere, you really feel at home here.

Isi and Morien stumbled across this house five years ago and everything fell into place. For some time, they had been dreaming of a unique property, with flats to renovate and rent out. The house, originally a rented house, has been used as a boarding house with 13 small rooms since 1920. A challenge to turn it into their dream was seized with both hands. But a lot had to be done before that could be done. The floors were so crooked that a marble on the top floor would roll at full speed to the other side if you put it on the floor. It's handy that Isi, as a graphic designer and artist, has an eye for the big picture. And Morien, executive producer / editor-in-chief of the television programme 'vtwonen weer verliefd op je huis', is in charge of styling and home trends. The perfect combination. Because the villa with lLove, experience and care have been put into the renovation, you can feel and see that immediately.
