House in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
We are a family of four. Jeroen (59), Marije (50) Jilles (13) & Julie (11) We live in a nice house with a garden nearby the most famous beach of Amsterdam: 'Strandeiland'. (5 minutes walking distance). It is located at the newest suburb called IJburg. A neighborhood with interesting architecture and a lot leisure activities (sailing, surfing, boats etc).
IJburg is located in the Eastern part of Amsterdam, in 15 minutes you are in the old city center of Amsterdam, by public transport.
You have the best of two worlds: a quiet neighborhood with a beach and 15 minutes away is the famous center of Amsterdam.
We just renovated our house, so there will be in summer 2023 also a roof terrace on the south side and a roof structure where you can enjoy the sun and the view around the water (IJmeer).
