An Amazing Family Home in a Former Dutch Train Station

This monumental villa in The Netherlands was built in 1882 as a train station. The former station was already transformed into a chalet-style villa when the current owners completely renovated the house with the help of interior architect Roelfien Vos into this magnificent family home.

The old station building is now a warm and luxurious family home surrounded by fields and a large garden. During the renovation work, original features were preserved, and modern elements were added sensibly.
