What you will love about this home
Our home is a very spacious & secure home with 4 large bedrooms, 600m2 plot that is dominated by a huge oak tree. A covered terrace overlooks the back garden and a cobbled side patio reveals itself as a sun trap for breakfast al-fresco. Located on a very quiet leafy street - Balaton Street - we are no more than 10 minutes drive to Warsaw's Old Town.
Inside, the house has very high ceilings with the main hall ceiling possibly 18m high. This leads into a very large sitting room with floor to ceiling patio doors which lead out onto the small leafy garden. We have a large fireplace and plenty of wood stocked in the garden. Beside the patio we have a small BBQ area although I have to admit we're not great BBQ people!
The house is over 4 floors. In the basement we have a 2 car garage, washroom and a large party room/disco (with mirror ball! and table tennis table). On the main floor we have the large sitting room, study and kitchen. The kitchen boasts a large island where we eat most of our meals. It has a door onto a sun soaked patio where we enjoy breakfasts alfresco during the summer months.
On the first floor we have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and on the top floor we have a self contained apartment which is used as an office and for guests.
The plot has a 2m fence all the way around and an intercom for visitors. We use the alarm when not in the house and have a rapid response service if it is activated. I find the area and Warsaw generally very safe.

What you will love about this neighborhood
The neighbourhood is sufficient in all respects. 400m away is the river Wisla/Vistula which flows from Krakow through Warsaw all the way o the Gdansk and the Baltic Sea. It is accessed through Mlociny Forest which has 2 superb picnic areas and a large open track for joggers and walkers. 300 m in another direction is Kampinos Forest where there is a larger variety of trees and ecosystems, the wild life is more numerous and cycle and walking paths go on for 70kms.
Everywhere you look there are trees. While the Kampinos Forest is enormous, Mlociny Forest is wonderful for families as it has a series of well organised paths and picnic areas with the local forester providing your wood to burn and many shelters in the event of rain. Both forests featured in the wars with trenches, bomb craters and graves of unlucky soldiers well marked.
Within 1km is a Auchan Hypermarket, closer is a selection of small supermarkets and grocery shops.
50m from the house is a tennis court which can be rented by the hour. Between the house and the Kampinos Forest is a small bar which serves coffee, beer and small snacks and doubles as a cross country ski rental outlet. Closer is a small pizza restaurant. Beside Mlociny Forest is one of the cleanest McDonalds I have every been in!
The neighbourhood is made of large detached and semi-detached houses with the growing community using the local schools. There is a catholic church 100m from the house with the local boy scout den beside it. 250m from the house is the bus stop where there is very regular bus service to the metro station and a choice of buses to other destinations. The Colombian Ambassador's Residence and Embassy is located 200m away. Also located beside us is a multi-discipline university with perhaps 800 students. The children's school is located in the university grounds. There are at least 4 schools operating in the neighbourhood.
Because we are on the outskirts of Warsaw city it feels like we are in the country but because we are located right beside a university there are great public transport options and city services available to us!
