Description
Nestled along a rustic sandy path, amidst a wooded environment, sits this magnificent family villa.
The detached thatched villa, built in 1980, enjoys a serene and favorable location on a plot of 4,500 square meters. It's just a short bike ride away from the lively village center of Laren, known as "de Brink," with its annual ice rink, Art on the Brink, the pancake stand, shops, restaurants, and the "Singer" theater/museum. Schools, heathlands, and major roads (A1 and A27) to Utrecht and Amsterdam are also easily accessible.
