Move-in Ready Terraced Home with Private Parking in Quiet Almere Neighborhood

This terraced house is located at Gildemark 161 in the De Marken district of Almere. The property is presented as a move-in ready home that requires no immediate work or renovations from the new owner. The asking price is set at 425,000 euros costs buyer, which translates to approximately 4,474 euros per square meter based on the living area of 95 square meters.

The ground floor of the property features a practical and well-arranged layout. Upon entering through the classic front door, you arrive in the hallway where you will find the toilet on the left side, along with the meter cupboard and the staircase leading to the first floor. The living room is situated at the rear of the property and is garden-oriented, benefiting from natural light through a wide hardwood sliding patio door that opens to the backyard. The floor on this level is fitted with a continuous wood-look laminate that runs throughout without any thresholds, creating a seamless transition between spaces. Both the walls and ceilings on the ground floor have been finished with smooth plasterwork. A wide sun awning has been installed against the rear facade to help keep the interior cool during summer months. For additional comfort, an air conditioning unit is present in the living room, which also has a heating function for use during colder periods.

The kitchen is positioned at the front of the property and overlooks the driveway leading to the storage shed and a portion of the street. This modern kitchen was installed in 2019 and is arranged in an L-shape configuration supplemented by an additional cabinet unit. The worktop is made of HPL material, and the kitchen is equipped with a four-burner induction cooktop, an extractor hood with motor and external ventilation, an integrated dishwasher, an electric oven, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. This setup provides ample storage space and modern cooking facilities.

The first floor contains two bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom occupies the full width of the property at the rear and measures approximately 16 square meters when measured from 1.50 meters in height, with dimensions of 3.43 by 4.65 meters. Two Velux skylights provide daylight and ventilation to this room. The listing notes that the existing size is already substantial enough that adding a dormer window would not significantly increase the usable space. The second bedroom is located at the front of this floor. The flooring on this level consists of the same continuous laminate as found on the ground floor, again without thresholds, creating a cohesive appearance throughout the home. The walls are freshly painted, and the skylight blinds will remain in the property for the new owner.

The bathroom was renovated in 2016 and features a wide walk-in shower with a clear glass sliding door, a broad natural stone vanity unit, and a wall-hung toilet. The fixtures and finishes have been executed in timeless modern colors that should appeal to a wide range of preferences.

The second floor houses the third bedroom, which is described as a spacious room situated under the sloping roof. The continuous laminate flooring extends to this level as well. In a separate space accessible from the second floor landing, the laundry facilities and heating system are installed. This includes space for a washing machine and dryer, along with the central heating boiler, which is a Nefit ProLine HRc gas-fired combi boiler from 2015.

The property has an energy label A rating, indicating good energy efficiency. The home is fully insulated with roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Eight solar panels were installed on the roof in 2023, each with a capacity of 400 Wp, oriented towards the southwest to maximize energy generation. The listing does note that the mechanical ventilation system in the property is not currently functioning, which prospective buyers may want to investigate or address.

The backyard has a depth of 9.30 meters and faces southwest. Wooden fencing with concrete posts and a concrete base was installed on both sides in 2020. The garden layout includes a large terrace adjacent to the property, several planter boxes, a section of lawn, and a second terrace at the rear that can catch the morning sun. The rear of the property is free from neighboring buildings, as the buildings behind are commercial units. The listing suggests that the blank wall of these units could be partially screened with greenery. Access to the backyard is only possible through the property itself, which adds to the sense of privacy and security.

At the front of the property, there is a stone storage shed with a tile roof that connects to the house. This shed has an electrical connection. The property includes a parking space on its own grounds, which is a practical feature in this residential area.

An artisan bakery is located at the beginning of the street within walking distance, and an Albert Heijn supermarket can be reached by car within a few minutes. The center of Almere Haven, often referred to locally as the village center, is accessible by bicycle.
