Sustainable Semi-Detached Home with Dune Landscape Views in Lelystad
Key Features
Upsides
- The property achieves excellent energy efficiency with an A+++ label, supported by a heat pump, 12 solar panels, triple glazing, and full insulation, resulting in low energy costs and a gas-free configuration.
- The ground floor includes a bedroom and full bathroom, making the home suitable for elderly residents or those preferring single-level living, which enhances long-term livability.
- The elevated position within the Houtribhoogte development provides unobstructed views over the maintained dune landscape, offering a unique living environment without the responsibility of private garden maintenance for the surrounding green areas.
- Being built in 2023, the property benefits from modern construction standards, contemporary finishes, and reduced immediate maintenance requirements compared to older homes.
- The property includes two full bathrooms across two floors, providing convenience for families or situations where multiple occupants need simultaneous access to bathing facilities.
Downsides
- The rear garden measures only 32 square meters, which is relatively small for a property of this size and price point, particularly for families who may desire more outdoor space.
- There is a mandatory quarterly contribution of approximately 230 euros (920 euros annually) for the maintenance of the shared green areas, which represents an ongoing additional cost that should be factored into the total housing expenses.
- The travel time to major employment centers such as Amsterdam and Utrecht is approximately 45 minutes by car, which may be considered lengthy for regular commuters.
- The asking price structure is presented as a "bieden vanaf" (bids from) price, which may create uncertainty about the final purchase price and potentially lead to competitive bidding above the stated 675,000 euros.
Description
This semi-detached property is located on Grasduinen in Lelystad, situated within the distinctive Houtribhoogte residential area. The home was constructed in 2023 and offers a total living area of 145 square meters spread across two floors. The plot measures 179 square meters and is classified as full ownership.
The ground floor layout has been designed with accessibility in mind, featuring a bedroom and full bathroom on this level. Upon entering through the front door, you reach the entrance hall which provides access to the meter cupboard, a separate toilet room, the staircase to the first floor, and passages leading to both the kitchen and the living area.
The modern fitted kitchen is positioned at the front of the property and is arranged in a double galley configuration. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances including an American-style refrigerator-freezer combination, a dishwasher, a combi-oven, a separate oven, and a four-burner induction hob with an integrated extraction system. The kitchen area offers sufficient space to accommodate a large dining table.
From the kitchen, you proceed through to the living room, which has been extended by 1.20 meters at the rear. This extension has resulted in a surprisingly spacious and bright living area. Large window sections allow abundant natural light to enter and create a visual connection with the outdoor surroundings. Double patio doors provide direct access to the terrace. The ground floor features a tiled floor with underfloor heating throughout.
A central hallway between the living room and the front section of the house leads to an internal storage room of approximately 6 square meters, as well as the ground floor bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom measures approximately 15 square meters and includes a large window frame with double patio doors opening onto the terrace. The adjacent bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower, a second toilet, a washbasin, underfloor heating, a designer radiator, and a window for natural ventilation.
The first floor is accessible via the staircase in the entrance hall. The landing provides access to three additional bedrooms measuring approximately 12, 11, and 10 square meters respectively. This floor also contains a second luxurious bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, a third toilet, a double washbasin vanity unit, underfloor heating, a designer radiator, and a window for natural ventilation.
A technical room on this floor houses the heat pump, hot water boiler, heat recovery ventilation system, the inverter for the 12 solar panels, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. The first floor is finished with laminate flooring and also has underfloor heating.
The property has been built to high sustainability standards and holds an energy label A+++. Heating is provided entirely through underfloor heating powered by a heat pump, making the property gas-free. The 12 JAsolar Jam60S21 panels contribute to reduced energy costs. The window frames are made of low-maintenance PVC and fitted with triple glazing. Full insulation has been applied throughout the structure.
The outdoor space at the front consists of a driveway providing parking for two vehicles on the property. The rear garden covers 32 square meters with dimensions of 5.85 meters in depth and 5.50 meters in width. The garden faces southeast and includes a paved terrace area and an outdoor tap. Due to the elevated position of the properties on Grasduinen relative to surrounding buildings, the rear offers an unobstructed view over the dune landscape characteristic of the Houtribhoogte area.
The Houtribhoogte development is situated near the coast of Lelystad and features a distinctive dune landscape that serves as an extended green space for residents. The maintenance of these communal green areas is handled collectively, with a quarterly contribution of approximately 230 euros per property for this purpose.
The location offers proximity to various amenities. The boulevard with restaurants such as Bocelli, De Rede van Batavia, and By Lemonakis is approximately five minutes by bicycle. The Batavia Stad Fashion Outlet, with over 150 international fashion brand stores, is also nearby. Nature areas including the Oostvaardersplassen, Natuurpark Lelystad, and the Belevenissenbos are within easy reach. Recreational facilities including water sports along the coastline, as well as tennis courts, a golf course, and football fields are available in the vicinity.
Daily necessities such as schools and supermarkets are accessible by bicycle. For commuters, the A6 motorway provides connections to Utrecht and Amsterdam with an approximate driving time of 45 minutes. The Lelystad NS railway station can be reached by bicycle in approximately 17 minutes.
The property is offered with a starting bid price of 675,000 euros, with buyer's costs applicable. The listing specifies that bids from this amount upward will be considered by the seller. Transfer date is to be agreed upon.
