This smart home is part of a brand new complex in the village of Egmond aan Zee. It's only forty minutes away by car from Amsterdam, but the sea breeze and peaceful setting will make you feel a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. The villa is a modern twist on traditional Dutch architecture, and the inside is just as stylish as the red brick outside. Light up the fire on chilly evenings and get cosy on the sofa with a glass of wine. There's also a Jacuzzi bath, where you can enjoy a long, luxurious soak in the bubbles after a busy day. And, on warmer days, you'll want to make use of the outdoor space – fire up the barbeque and cook up a delicious feast on the patio while the kids play on the lawn From here, you can take a six-minute drive down to the beach, and sink your toes into the soft sand. There are eight kilometres of shoreline to explore, and afterwards you can head to one of the local restaurants to refuel. And, if you're missing city life, you can drive to Alkmaar in just fifteen minutes to visit the famous cheese markets and admire the picture-perfect canals.
