Ep 99. New Home for a New Family in Amsterdam
- July 16, 2013
In this episode of House Hunters International, we follow a young couple, John and Sarah, as they search for their dream home in Amsterdam. Having recently relocated to the Netherlands for work, the couple is eager to find a new home that they can call their own.
With a budget of €700,000, the couple has specific criteria in mind. They want a spacious and modern home with plenty of natural light and outdoor space. They also want to be located in a central area of Amsterdam that is close to public transportation and within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Their search begins with a visit to a modern apartment in the heart of the city. The apartment has large windows that let in plenty of light, and a balcony that overlooks a canal. While the apartment seems like a good fit, John and Sarah are hesitant because of its lack of outdoor space and the noise that comes with living in a busy city center.
Next, the couple visits a newly renovated home located in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house has a modern design with large windows and an open floor plan. It also has a small backyard that would be perfect for entertaining guests. While the house is located farther away from the city center, John and Sarah are impressed with its peaceful setting and the potential for a family-friendly lifestyle.
As their search continues, the couple struggles to find a home that meets all of their criteria. They view a trendy loft apartment in a central location, but the noise and lack of outdoor space turn them off. They also visit a newly built apartment complex with modern amenities, but it doesn't have the same charm and character that they are looking for.
After several weeks of searching, John and Sarah finally find the perfect home. Located in a charming neighborhood just a short distance from the city center, the house has a modern design with plenty of natural light and an open floor plan. It also has a small backyard that provides a quiet retreat from the bustle of city life.
Having found their dream home, the couple celebrates with a bottle of wine on their new backyard patio. They reflect on the challenges of the home search and express their excitement for the new life they will build together in Amsterdam.
Overall, this episode of House Hunters International offers a glimpse into the challenges and joys of relocating to a new country and finding a new home. It highlights the importance of finding a balance between practical considerations and personal preferences when searching for a dream home.
