Seller says:
“Fifteen years ago, at the start of the banking crisis, we discovered this beautiful house on the Delft Jaagpad. It offered the ideal combination of living and working that we had been looking for for a long time. As an artist, I was immediately sold; the opportunity for an inspiring workspace exceeded my expectations.

The neighborhood immediately offered a nice environment – a secluded spot in the city where you quickly made contact. From Zoeterwoude, where social interactions were essential, the transition was smooth. With our two youngest boys, aged 17 and 20 at the time, they were ecstatic; a private chill area in the large kitchen-diner where friends could come over and social activities could take place.

We have been living and working here with great pleasure for fifteen years. The space is ideal for my work as a visual artist, with beautiful light in the workspace and sufficient size for workshops, creative lessons, meetings, music and poetry evenings, art routes and other activities.

The location offers plenty of parking, good access to public transportation, and is close to two shopping centers for daily necessities. This place not only offers space to live and work, but also opportunities to create two homes due to its immense size.”
