What a lovely 1890 home in Molenstraat 59, Oss, Netherlands. 7bds, 2,906.26sqft, $1,180,860 approx USD. (Happy to get requests for more overseas homes, I enjoy looking at them, too.)

Beautiful entrance doors with stained glass above and wainscoting on the wall. If that big guy doesn't convey, no deal.

Double etched glass doors open to the stairs in the main hall. Love that there's storage under the stairs.

Elegant living room has the trim painted to match the wallpaper.

Pocket doors.

The glass in this home is fabulous. Look at the ambrotype of scenes from the countryside.

When a realtor highlights a certain piece in a home, I must assume that it's staying. Don't be showing beautiful statues just for the dutts of it.

Beautiful spacious dining room has wallpaper to match the sitting room.

Look at this wonderful original fireplace and parquet flooring.

Love the kitchen redo. This is perfection.

They have seating here, but you can also put in a dinette set.

The 2nd level, but this home goes up farther, still.

Spacious bedroom with a wonderful light fixture and more stained glass. The bed's headboard is actually a partial wall separating it from an ensuite bath.

This is nice. The clawfoot tub is right behind that wall. Look at the cool sinks.

Cute nursery has a door to a terrace and isn't that convenient for changing a baby? A sink in the room.

There's also a marble bath with a washer/dryer.

Stairs going up to the uppermost floor.

On the 3rd level, there's a cozy apt.

Nice kitchenette.

Nice bedroom with a stained glass skylight.

This is a child's room. It's so cute. Look at the beams.

An area that's used for storage could also be another room.

Beautiful private garden with a patio, hot tub, and koi pond.

The Royal Chaloupe, or Royal Barge of the Netherland was designed for King William I by Cornelis Jan Glavimans and was built between 1816 and 1818 on the Navy shipyard in Rotterdam. King William I never used it himself. It was up to King William II to use it for the first time during his inauguration in 1841. By now, the Royal Barge has been used some thirty times for state visits and other official occasions. Queen Juliana and Prince Bernhard used the Royal Barge for the last time during the celebration of their silver wedding anniversary in 1962.

With a length of 17 metres, the Royal Barge is not only long, but also very slender and richly decorated with gold-leaf ornaments. Neptune and his three sea horses decorate the bow. Neptune is of course the symbol for the greatness of the head of state, but also of a safe voyage. The barge is decorated with numerous other, smaller ornaments such as crabs and water plants.

It was important that the barge was moved through the waters as majestically as possible by carefully selected naval cadets. The barge was rowed according to set protocols. It was not permitted to stick the oars vertically into the water to slow the boat down. The rowing strokes required to reach the destination were carefully counted and the barge had to swim gently until it came to a halt at the quay. In addition, the rowers of the launch were not allowed to look at the king or queen or the guests. They had to look at their oars, and only at their oars.

“Master, we worked hard throughout the night and caught nothing; but if you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done this, they caught such a great number of fish that their nets were beginning to tear.

Therefore, they signaled to their companions in the other boat to come and help them.

They came and filled both boats to the point that they were in danger of sinking.
