Description
This well-maintained family home is situated in the popular Danswijk neighborhood of Almere Stad. The property features an extended living room that adds approximately 15 square meters of living space compared to similar homes in the street. With a total living area of 123 square meters spread across three floors, the residence offers ample room for a growing family.
The ground floor welcomes you through a front yard leading to the entrance hall.

The hallway also contains a half-bathroom equipped with a sink with hot and cold water taps and a toilet with bidet function.
The spacious living room benefits greatly from the extension at the rear. French doors made of PVC with insect screens open directly to the backyard, allowing plenty of natural light to flood the interior. The tiled floor features underfloor heating, providing comfortable warmth underfoot throughout the colder months. A spacious stair cupboard in the living room offers additional storage space for household items.

The second floor houses a spacious attic room that serves well as either an additional bedroom or a home office. A dormer window at the rear with recessed spotlights and a skylight at the front ensure this level receives excellent natural light. Knee walls provide practical storage space along the sides. The front attic area is suitable for placing a washer and dryer, with skylights on both sides ensuring proper ventilation and illumination. The flooring on this level is also finished with marmoleum.
The south-facing backyard measures 59 square meters with dimensions of 10.90 meters in depth and 5.43 meters in width. The garden is paved for low maintenance and includes an awning for shade on sunny days. A freestanding wooden storage shed offers space for garden tools and other belongings. A back gate provides direct access to the path behind the property.
