owner speaks out
Twenty years ago, we left the city seeking better connections to the rest of the country. When we first arrived here, we never imagined the neighborhood would affectionately nickname us 'Jan and Christel from the Little Monastery.' Yet gradually, this magnificent space transformed from the sisters' residence into our cherished home. Their chapel became our office, their visitor reception area now hosts our cozy evenings by the fire, and their veranda has become our cats' favorite retreat.
The building presented perfect renovation potential: every room is more generously proportioned than standard, and natural light floods every space—a true luxury. We carefully preserved the soul of the Little Monastery throughout our renovations. It has evolved into a wonderful home with abundant space, where family and friends love to gather.
We've invested tremendous love in our Little Monastery and received so much in return. Even before saying goodbye, we feel nostalgic, but we primarily hope that future owners will discover their own warm sanctuary in this property's abundant space, character, and welcoming atmosphere.
