Our New House...


While we would have loved to have stayed in our old neighborhood, there weren’t any rentals available. Leiden Centrum would be fun, but not very practical. The girls will be in two different schools starting in September, so it made sense to search somewhere between the two so Veronica can cycle or take a bus on her own. Luckily we found something we liked right away. As you can see, we’re now in a detached house which is unusual in this area. This particular house was built in 1960 amongst what was once all greenhouses to be the greenhouse owner’s home. The photos are somewhat misleading because it looks larger than it is. The ceilings are so strongly sloped upstairs that much of each room can only be accessed by ducking. Luckily, there’s a first floor master and the girls are still short. Most importantly, the yard is fantastic and it has a two-car garage where we can store all our junk. There’s also an interesting feature that is very unique to Holland. Any guesses?
