How come so dear? The location?

The title would bear some investigation.

"This tasteful, charming and eloquent family home" .. it's eloquent alright, it's just not saying anything good.

I know there are people who would see potential in that, but it's just depressing looking, to me.

Seems very expensive too.

a hidden gem with endless opportunities

Very limited opportunities from what I can see. The plot is surrounded by other houses on three sides and a road in front. Extending out or up is nigh on impossible.

You could dig a fine shaft straight down, like celebrity steeplejack Fred Dibnah had in his garden.

These kind of places really don't help me trying to convince people we are not all on drugs in The Netherlands.
Expected it to be designed and built in the 70's but it is relatively new from 2007

I would be happy enough in that house to be honest. I might struggle to raise the €2.3 million though...

^^ I bet the whole house tilts open, and you can launch a massive spaceship from underneath it, like in Thunderbirds or a Bond villain gaff.

I love that house. Not every detail in it, but overall I'd love to have it.

KevRossi

This pink chair alone is fabulous. I've an intention of getting a replica Eames chair when I buy a house at the end of the year, I'd be tempted to get that pink one instead, but I know the price would be nuts.

Their computers and monitors are new from 2007 too.

It's a pretty cool house, though.

I for one think that is an exceptionally well designed and camouflaged missle silo.

There's always something in these ridiculous houses that in one little detail encapsulate the ridiculousness of the whole thing.

In this case it's the phone on the floor:

Muahahaha

That entire development (not just that house) is a monument to bad taste and new money.

With Nicky Byrne and Robbie Keane as your neighbours too, no thanks. At least Ronan Keating moved out so the estate is marginally less annoying

I mean like that it's cordless doesn't mean it should live on the floor. Think about poor old Granny having to go down the steps and then bend down so low to use the landline. I'm sure shelves and tables are a thing in the Netherlands.

( You cant go cluttering up a beautiful house like that with stuff like an occasional table )

So they have a landline and a hands-free.

Smacks of a repossession where they took everything they could unscrew/rip off.

The frying pan and drum on the mismatched manky mattresses makes for an interesting still life.....

Some sort of eviction or repossession. Doesn't look too bad. Sand and paint the front door, new doors for kitchen and wardrobes from IKEA, new white goods, carpets, curtains, borrow a mower, rent a skip and a couple of days cleaning up would sort out most of that. Not sure if that white stuff on the tiles cleans off easily.

No idea what the area is like, but you could be saving a fair few grand for a few days graft.
