Modern City Villa in Almere Literatuurwijk with Waterfront Garden

This architecturally designed detached villa is situated in the popular Literatuurwijk neighborhood of Almere. The property was originally built in 2000 and features a distinctive cubist architectural style. In 2022, the exterior facade underwent a complete renovation and modernization, giving the home a contemporary and representative appearance that aligns with current architectural trends.

The exterior is finished with anthracite grey acid-washed brickwork combined with white exterior stucco and new low-maintenance KERALIT cladding. Black-painted window frames and zinc rainwater systems reinforce the modern character of the property. The careful renovation has provided the home with a fresh and contemporary look that complements the original architecture.

The property is located on a quiet street in the Literatuurwijk, a residential area known for its spacious layout, mature greenery, and high-quality buildings. This particular street predominantly features detached villas, creating a calm, exclusive, and serene living atmosphere with considerable privacy and a representative character. The direct location on water gives the property a particularly open and relaxed feeling. The backyard borders directly onto a city canal, allowing daily enjoyment of tranquility and views where nature and living come together harmoniously.

The Literatuurwijk is considered one of the most appreciated residential neighborhoods in Almere, characterized by wide avenues, green spaces, and a spacious urban design. The neighborhood is popular among families and commuters due to the combination of peace, space, and excellent accessibility. Various international schools are located nearby, as well as childcare facilities, sports amenities, and shopping centers for daily groceries. Public transportation is easily accessible, and via nearby arterial roads, you can quickly travel towards Amsterdam, Utrecht, and the rest of the Randstad conurbation. For relaxation and recreation, the surroundings offer numerous possibilities. Both the Almeerderstrand beach and extensive forest and nature areas are within short distance, ideal for walking, cycling, water sports, or simply enjoying outdoor life.

The ground floor entrance welcomes you into a spacious and bright hallway. A wide niche provides space for a generous coat closet, forming a practical detail. The herringbone parquet floor with border runs throughout the entire ground floor and, together with the smoothly plastered ceiling and spachtelputz wall finish, forms a stylish base. From the hallway, the toilet, the extensive meter cupboard, the garage/storage room, a staircase closet, and the upholstered staircase to the upper floor are accessible. Double doors open to the fantastic living area and reinforce the feeling of space and luxury. The meter cupboard is fully equipped with district heating, an alarm system, a fiber optic connection, a three-phase installation, and ten electrical circuits. The toilet room is remarkably spacious and modernly finished with white wall tiles, black floor tiles, and features a wall-hung toilet with concealed cistern and a small sink.

The indoor garage/storage room is practically divided into two spaces and features an electrically operated insulated overhead door and a side door to the garden. Here you will also find a drain sink with tap, a renewed Brink heat recovery unit, the installation for central air heating and cooling, and a central vacuum unit. These facilities significantly increase living comfort.

The living area forms the central focal point of the house. Thanks to the generous dimensions and large window sections, an impressively bright living space is created where inside and outside are naturally connected. The space is harmoniously divided into different living zones. Centrally located is the generous sitting room with a wide wood-burning open fireplace with a granite plateau, providing atmosphere and warmth. On the left side is a second sitting room arranged as a TV room, ideal for relaxing evenings. On the right side is the spacious dining room. The entire ground floor is equipped with subtly integrated ceiling spots that create a pleasant ambiance. The double French doors provide direct access to the garden. The large bay window at the rear strengthens the spatial character and offers a beautiful view of the greenery and the water.

At the front of the property lies the semi-open kitchen, a pleasant and light space thanks to the corner window with a view of the front garden. The kitchen is arranged in a generous U-shape and executed in a combination of wooden and off-white fronts and luxurious granite worktops. The tiled floor is equipped with underfloor heating with its own thermostat. An additional cabinet wall provides ample storage space and the integrated breakfast nook makes this a pleasant place for daily use. The built-in Siemens and Atag appliances include a dishwasher, stainless steel and glass extractor hood, convection oven, refrigerator, and freezer with four drawers, a wide induction cooktop, and a one-and-a-half stainless steel sink.

The upholstered staircase leads to a surprisingly spacious landing where a large skylight of approximately two by two meters provides a special amount of daylight. The ceiling is smoothly plastered and equipped with spots, while the spachtelputz wall finish and hardwood interior frames with flush doors underline the high-quality finishing level. The solid balustrade with stainless steel handrail forms a stylish architectural accent here.

The generous floor provides space for three spacious bedrooms, a laundry room, a centrally located walk-in closet, a luxurious bathroom, and roof terraces at the front and rear. If desired, it is possible to realize a fourth bedroom. The bedroom at the front is spacious and bright and features double doors to the roof terrace. The master bedroom forms a comfortable private suite with generous dimensions, neatly painted walls, and an atmospherically finished accent wall.

The third bedroom is also generously sized and features double terrace doors to the roof terrace at the front and access to an additional storage room. The laundry room accommodates a washing machine and dryer and is connected via a sliding door to the centrally situated walk-in closet, equipped with high cabinets with plenty of hanging and shelf space.

The bathroom is exceptionally spacious and completely furnished, accessible from both the master bedroom and the landing. The combination of white wall tiles, black floor tiles, and underfloor heating with its own thermostat gives the room a luxurious appearance. Windows in the rear facade provide desirable daylight and ventilation. The bathroom features an extra deep whirlpool bathtub with a plateau around it, a double vanity with illuminated mirrors, a spacious walk-in shower with thermostatic faucet, and a separate toilet room with a wall-hung toilet.
