Name: Marieke Rijksen, husband and two children (11 and 6)
Location: Haarlem, The Netherlands
Size: 2,400 square feet
Years lived in: 4 months, owned
Our home was built about 130 years ago on the canals of Haarlem. It features gorgeous ornate original high ceilings and many of the historical features have been preserved. When we bought it late 2017, it needed a bit of love and some extra space. The kitchen was tiny and the second floor was not very practical with a pitched roof. We added a massive live-in kitchen extension and dormers in an industrial style to contrast the classical build of the original house. We are Australian expats (with roots in The Netherlands) and moved from Sydney to The Netherlands with our two young children. We rented before we moved into our home after four months of renovating every single room in the house.
