Nice modern family home in Castricum near the beach and near Amsterdam.
OUR HOME:
We live in a fine, typical Dutch row house in the quiet village of Castricum. It has a light, through living room & modern kitchen. On the second and third floor there are three sleeping rooms and the bath room.
You can enjoy our back and front gardens. In the shed you find our bicycles that you can use to discover the neighbourhood.
Castricum is a nice village. The surroundings are superb: the lovely dunes and North Sea beach are only 2 to 3 kms away. In the countryside flowers are blooming and the cows and sheep are grazing. There are lots of hiking&cycling routes possible.
You can visit the lovely old cities Amsterdam, Haarlem and Alkmaar, all of them within 20 to 30 minutes (trains run every 15 minutes).

SE51722Great location in cosy town close to the beaches. Really nice house with everything we needed as a family with children including a shopping mall with food stores nearby. It was very easy to bike to the many good restaurants and cafes in Castricum, and we loved to bike to the beach and in the dunes nature reserves. It was easy to travel to Amsterdam over the day with train. Anja & Jans family made us feel very welcome in their house with their preparations, highly recommended!
