Modern Detached Villa with Forest Views and Solar Panels in Lelystad
Key Features
Upsides
- Free and green location at the rear with unobstructed views of a waterway and the Zuigerplasbos forest, providing privacy and a peaceful living environment.
- Energy efficiency features including 24 solar panels, energy label A, full insulation, and underfloor heating throughout the property.
- Two full bathrooms across different floors allow for flexible use of the upper levels, including the possibility of an independent sleeping floor on the second floor.
- Spacious plot of 648 square meters with a surrounding garden, a large canopy of 23 square meters, and a separate storage shed for outdoor living and storage needs.
- Modern 2018 construction with high-quality finishes including a polished concrete floor throughout, Neff kitchen appliances, and air conditioning on every floor.
Downsides
- The asking price of 875,000 euros is relatively high for the Lelystad housing market, which traditionally offers more affordable properties compared to the Randstad region.
- The garden is oriented to the east, which means the main outdoor living areas receive morning sun rather than afternoon and evening sun that is typically preferred for outdoor enjoyment.
- The property features only listed as 2 woonlagen despite having a third floor with a full bedroom and bathroom, which may cause confusion or affect certain financing or valuation considerations.
- As a detached villa in a residential neighborhood, the property may require significant maintenance of the exterior, garden, and outdoor structures which adds to ongoing costs and time commitment.
Description
The property at Albatroslaan 232 in Lelystad is a detached villa built in 2018, offering 184 square meters of living space on a plot of 648 square meters. The residence presents itself as a modern and well-maintained home with a focus on comfort, energy efficiency, and quality finishes.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed in the hallway which provides access to the toilet room, the living room, the staircase to the first floor, and the integrated garage. The toilet room on the ground floor has been finished in a modern style and is equipped with a floating toilet, a small sink, and a window for natural ventilation.
The living room is spacious, measuring approximately 62.5 square meters. A notable feature is the bay window which adds character and allows for abundant natural light to enter the space. The room is finished with a polished concrete floor that continues throughout the entire house, including the garage. This consistent flooring choice contributes to a cohesive and modern aesthetic. The dimensions of the living room provide ample space for both a generous seating area and a large dining table.
Connected to the living room is the kitchen, which aligns with the modern character of the home. The kitchen features a composite worktop and high-quality Neff built-in appliances. The appliance package includes two refrigerators, a cooktop with integrated extraction in the center, a dishwasher, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, a combination microwave, and a hot air oven. The open connection between the kitchen and living room creates a pleasant living space where cooking, dining, and living come together naturally.
The integrated garage measures approximately 17.1 square meters and features the same polished concrete floor as the main house. The garage has folding doors and a side door, making it suitable for parking a car, storing bicycles, or serving as a hobby space.
On the first floor, there is a spacious landing that provides access to three bedrooms and the main bathroom. This floor is also equipped with air conditioning and continues the polished concrete floor. The three bedrooms measure approximately 17.4 square meters, 17.2 square meters, and 15.7 square meters respectively. All rooms are of sufficient size to function as full bedrooms, children's rooms, home offices, or guest rooms.
The main bathroom on this floor is generous in size at approximately 9.6 square meters. It is fully equipped with a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, a bathtub, a double vanity with dual faucets, and a floating toilet. The bathroom combines comfort with a practical layout.
The second floor serves as a complete additional living level and offers surprisingly ample space. Here you will find a large bedroom measuring approximately 27.3 square meters, complete with a walk-in closet, skylights, and air conditioning. This room is highly suitable as a master bedroom, a teenager's room, a guest room, or a comfortable home office.
Additionally, this floor has a second bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, a vanity, and a floating toilet. This arrangement makes the second floor ideal for use as an independent sleeping floor, providing privacy for family members or guests.
The outdoor space of the property consists of a garden surrounding the house, offering multiple pleasant areas to enjoy outdoor living. There is a sun terrace, a lawn, and an attractive pergola with a comfortable seating area. At the rear of the garden, there is a large storage shed measuring approximately 10.8 square meters, adjacent to a spacious canopy of approximately 23.1 square meters. This covered area provides a sheltered spot for lounging, outdoor dining, or enjoying the garden late into the evening.
A significant advantage of the property is its location at the rear. The house borders a waterway, behind which lies the green forest area of the Zuigerplasbos. This ensures a free and green outlook, with considerable peace and privacy at the back of the property.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energy label A and is equipped with 24 solar panels. The house is fully insulated, including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a gas-fired combination boiler from 2018, and the entire house features underfloor heating. Each floor is also equipped with air conditioning for comfort during warmer periods.
The property is located in a quiet and child-friendly residential area in Lelystad, with plenty of greenery and water in the immediate vicinity. Despite the peaceful setting, daily amenities such as schools, shops, and public transportation are within easy reach. The center of Lelystad and the access roads to Almere, Amsterdam, and Zwolle are also conveniently accessible.
The construction year of 2018 means that the property benefits from modern building techniques and compliance with contemporary building regulations. This is reflected in the energy performance, the insulation levels, and the overall quality of the construction.
The choice of a polished concrete floor throughout the entire property, including the garage, is a deliberate design decision that contributes to the modern character of the home. This type of flooring is durable, easy to maintain, and provides a seamless visual connection between the different spaces. It also works well with underfloor heating, allowing for efficient heat distribution.
The kitchen layout with the cooktop featuring integrated extraction in the center is a modern solution that eliminates the need for a traditional extractor hood. This creates a cleaner visual line in the kitchen and allows for an unobstructed view between the kitchen and living area.
The configuration of four bedrooms across two upper floors offers flexibility in how the space is used. Families with children can allocate bedrooms according to age and needs, while those working from home can dedicate a room as an office space. The second bathroom on the top floor means that the top floor can function almost independently, which could be ideal for older children, guests, or a live-in family member who desires privacy.
The outdoor structures, including the pergola and the canopy, extend the usable living space beyond the interior of the house. The canopy of over 23 square meters provides a substantial covered outdoor area that can be used in various weather conditions.
The property is connected to fiber optic internet, which is an important feature for modern households where reliable and fast internet connectivity is essential for work, education, and entertainment. The presence of mechanical ventilation ensures good air quality throughout the home without the need to open windows.
The cadastrial information confirms that the property consists of 648 square meters of land with full ownership. This means there are no leasehold or ground lease obligations, which provides certainty and value for the owner. The plot size is generous for a detached home, allowing for the surrounding garden and the various outdoor features described.
