Spacious Corner Family Home with Four Bedrooms in Child-Friendly Almere Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- The corner position provides extra windows and natural light, particularly beneficial in the kitchen which has an additional window compared to interior row houses.
- Four bedrooms offer flexible accommodation for families, with the potential to use rooms as home offices, guest rooms, or children's bedrooms as needs change.
- The ground floor features underfloor heating throughout and an extended living room with a wide sliding door, creating a comfortable and bright living space that connects well with the garden.
- The location in the Faunabuurt is highly convenient with supermarkets, schools, healthcare, and childcare within walking distance, plus excellent transport links via the nearby A6, A27, and Almere Buiten train station.
- The property has comprehensive insulation (roof, walls, floor, double glazing) and an energy label B, indicating relatively good energy efficiency for a home built in 1993.
Downsides
- The central heating boiler is rented rather than owned, adding a recurring monthly cost of approximately 30 euros that will continue indefinitely.
- The rear garden faces northeast, meaning it receives less afternoon and evening sun compared to south or west-facing gardens, which may limit outdoor enjoyment during warmer months.
- Parking is only available on public roads without a dedicated parking space or garage on the property, which could be inconvenient in a family neighborhood.
- The property was built in 1993, and while it has been updated with features like a modern kitchen and bathroom, the underlying construction dates from that period.
- The wooden storage shed in the garden has no insulation, which limits its usefulness for storing temperature-sensitive items.
