Pleasent house, green area, UNESCO seashore, Wadden Islands, city of Leeuwarden

We offer a nice house with a green garden around it in a silent living area. Lots of space for living, cooking, sleeping etc. We have two three bedrooms and can make one more. Harlingen is one of the 'Frisian 11 cities', with 16.000 inhabitants. It is located on the coast. You can take the boat for a trip to the beautiful Wadden Islands (Unesco Heritage) from Harlingen. Harlingen itself has a pittoresk old city centre with more than 750 monumental buildings. It has a little shopping street and several restaurants etc. Harlingen is 25 kilometers from Leeuwarden, the capital city of Friesland. Leeuwarden was European Capital Cultural City in 2018. Several other nice cities like Bolsward, Sneek and Franeker are close by to Harlingen. You can easily bike to there.
The house is in a quiet neighbourhood, and was build in 1979. It has a garage and a parking place and is completely modernised last spring.
Close to Harlingen is the Afsluitdijk. There starts the IJsselmeer, a big lake. Friesland is famous for its lakes and sailing waters. You can easily hire a boat etc. The land is flat and green and perfect for biking.
If you like culture, there are many nice places and museums to visit, for example the Fries Museum at Leeuwarden, the Royal Eisinga Museum at Franeker and Het Hannemahuis at Harlingen. And Amsterdam is surprisingly close: within 5 quartes of an hour from Harlingen (100 km). The province of Noord-Holland is near by anyway (Alkmaar, Zaanstad, Haarlem).
Enjoy your stay in a green and quiet province of The Netherlands without any traffic jam! Other cities within one hour by car: Groningen, Assen, Zwolle.
