Description
The property is a well-maintained semi-detached house located in a quiet street in a popular residential area of Swifterbant. Built in 1979, this home has been significantly modernized in recent years and offers a comfortable living environment for families. The house sits on a generous plot of 335 square meters of private land, providing ample outdoor space.
Upon entering the property, the quality of the finishes is immediately apparent. The spacious L-shaped living room benefits from large windows that allow plenty of natural light to enter the space. The room offers sufficient space for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining area with views of the garden. The modern poured resin floor with comfortable underfloor heating creates a contemporary and calm foundation for the interior. The underfloor heating contributes to a pleasant living climate throughout the year.
The open kitchen connects seamlessly with the living area and is practically arranged with various built-in appliances. From the kitchen, you can access the canopy which forms an attractive connection between indoors and outdoors. The garage with electrical power is also accessible from inside the house through the kitchen area.
The ground floor features a modern poured resin floor with underfloor heating, providing consistent warmth. The first floor contains three spacious bedrooms, all finished with a stylish herringbone pattern floor that also includes underfloor heating. The recently renovated bathroom is modernly designed with a shower, double vanity, and toilet, perfectly matching the high-quality finishes found throughout the property.
The second floor houses two additional full-sized bedrooms, both featuring dormer windows that provide extra light and headroom. A notable feature on this floor is the freestanding bathtub, which adds a luxurious touch and offers a relaxing space to unwind. There is also ample practical storage space available on this level.
In terms of sustainability, the property is prepared for the future. The solar panels, underfloor heating on both the ground floor and first floor, and careful modernizations contribute to a comfortable and energy-efficient living environment. The property has an energy label C, with double glazing for insulation throughout.
The backyard is one of the notable features of this property. Thanks to its considerable depth of nearly 20 meters and free position, residents can enjoy a high degree of privacy. The well-maintained garden features multiple terraces, a lawn, and green borders, making it an ideal place to relax or gather with family and friends. The garden faces northeast, offering morning sun and some shaded areas during the afternoon.
The attached garage provides space for one vehicle and is equipped with electrical power. Parking is available on the property, and there is also public parking in the area. The total living area measures 133 square meters, with an additional 34 square meters of indoor space comprising the garage. The property has a volume of 620 cubic meters.
The house is situated in a quiet and child-friendly residential neighborhood of Swifterbant, close to schools, shops, sports facilities, and the health center. Residents can enjoy a pleasant green environment with all daily amenities within easy reach. The property features a pitched roof covered with tiles, consistent with the construction style of the late 1970s.
The cadastral registration shows the property consists of two parcels: one of 240 square meters and one of 95 square meters, both in full ownership and located in the municipality of Dronten. The property is available immediately, with the acceptance terms to be discussed with the seller.
This semi-detached home represents a move-in ready option for families seeking a combination of modern comfort, practical space, and a pleasant outdoor area. The five bedrooms provide flexibility for various family configurations, whether for children's rooms, a home office, or guest accommodation. The recent renovations ensure that the new owner can move in without immediate additional investment, while the sustainable features like solar panels and underfloor heating help manage ongoing energy costs.
The location in Swifterbant offers a balance between tranquility and accessibility. Swifterbant is a village in the municipality of Dronten, located in the province of Flevoland. The area is characterized by its relatively young history, as much of the land was reclaimed from the IJsselmeer in the mid-twentieth century. Despite this, the village has developed into a mature community with good facilities and a strong sense of neighborhood. The proximity to larger cities like Dronten, Lelystad, and Almere provides access to a wider range of services, shopping centers, and employment opportunities.
The residential neighborhood where this property is located is known for its family-friendly atmosphere. The quiet street ensures limited through traffic, making it safe for children to play outside. The presence of schools within walking or cycling distance is a practical advantage for families with school-age children. Sports facilities and the health center further contribute to the convenience of the location.
The interior layout of the property follows a traditional but effective arrangement. The ground floor houses the main living areas, with the kitchen, living room, and dining area forming an open and connected space. This layout is well-suited for modern family life, where cooking and socializing often happen simultaneously. The direct access to the garden and garage from the kitchen area enhances the practicality of the design.
The first floor serves as the main sleeping area, with three bedrooms of varying sizes. This arrangement allows parents to have a master bedroom while children occupy the other two rooms. The presence of underfloor heating on this level adds to the comfort, particularly during the colder months.
The second floor provides additional flexibility with two more bedrooms. These rooms, with their dormer windows, are fully functional bedrooms rather than just storage spaces converted for occasional use. The freestanding bathtub on this floor is an unusual but appealing feature, effectively creating a secondary bathing space. This arrangement can be particularly useful for larger families or households with teenagers who value their privacy.
The garage, while attached to the house, is accessible from inside, providing sheltered access to the vehicle regardless of weather conditions. The presence of electrical power suggests a significant electrical connection, potentially suitable for charging an electric vehicle or operating power tools for DIY projects. This is a practical feature that adds value to the property.
The garden design balances aesthetics with functionality. Multiple terraces allow for different outdoor activities, whether it is morning coffee in a sunny spot or an evening gathering in a more sheltered area. The lawn provides space for children to play, while the green borders add visual interest. The free position of the garden enhances privacy and the sense of space.
The property's energy features, while not the most advanced available, represent a reasonable level of sustainability for a home of this age. Solar panels reduce electricity costs and carbon footprint, while underfloor heating is generally more efficient than traditional radiators when combined with a modern boiler. The energy label C indicates that there is room for further improvement, which future owners might consider to further reduce energy costs and improve comfort.
