Spacious corner house at the forest edge with four bedrooms, solar panels and sunny south-facing garden in Lelystad
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent energy performance with energy label A, 12 solar panels from 2022, recent floor and wall insulation from 2021 and a relatively modern CV-ketel from 2016, resulting in low ongoing energy costs
- Four full bedrooms across three floors provide ample space for large families, with the largest bedroom covering nearly the full width of the house
- Generous south-facing rear garden of 75 m² with multiple covered areas, a freestanding wooden storage shed and privacy, combined with a direct setting at the forest edge for outdoor recreation
- Modern kitchen with cooking island and bar seating, open plan to the living room, and a luxurious bathroom equipped with whirlpool bath, walk-in shower, underfloor heating and vanity unit
- Practical advantages including parking on own premises with an electric car charging point, fiber optic connection and mechanical ventilation add everyday convenience
Downsides
- The address is recorded as a range (Horst 16-26), which is unusual and could indicate either a block of multiple units or an error in the listing, making it unclear which specific property is for sale
- The asking price of €3,319 per m² is relatively high for Lelystad, a city known for more affordable housing compared to the Randstad metropolitan area, which may limit the pool of interested buyers and affect future resale value
- With a plot of only 185 m² and a corner house layout, outdoor space is modest compared to detached properties, and maintenance of facades on two sides adds to upkeep costs
- The house was built in 1982, meaning it is over 40 years old, and despite renovations some structural elements or hidden maintenance issues may not be apparent from the description
- Only one bathroom is listed for a four-bedroom house, which may create bottlenecks for larger households, and the toilet on the ground floor is accessed through a second hall rather than being a separate guest facility
