Spacious Modernized Terraced Home with Sunny South-Facing Garden in Lelystad
Key Features
Upsides
- The kitchen and bathroom were completely renovated in 2023, featuring modern finishes with anthracite fronts, a marble look countertop, gray tiles, and black accents that give the home a contemporary and hotel like quality.
- The south facing garden includes a full width overkapping that functions as an additional outdoor living space, perfect for extended outdoor seating throughout various weather conditions while requiring minimal garden maintenance.
- The property achieves Energy Label A with 12 solar panels and full insulation, resulting in lower energy costs and a more sustainable footprint compared to similar homes from 1972.
- The extended living room creates a surprisingly spacious feel with abundant natural light from large sliding doors, floor to ceiling windows, and a skylight, enhanced by the underfloor heating and herringbone PVC flooring throughout the ground level.
- The location in the Karveel neighborhood offers a quiet street without through traffic, while still being conveniently close to nature areas like Zuigerplasbos, schools, supermarkets, and good connections to Almere and the Randstad.
Downsides
- The preferred delivery date is around September or October 2026, which means a potential buyer would need to wait approximately two years before being able to move in.
- The property only has two living levels with three bedrooms, which may be limiting for larger families who might prefer a home with an additional floor or more sleeping quarters.
- Despite the modernizations, the property was originally built in 1972, which means the underlying structure and potential hidden issues associated with older construction remain.
- Lelystad is located at a considerable distance from major employment centers like Amsterdam and Utrecht, which could result in longer commute times for those working in the Randstad.
- The asking price starts at 382,000 euros, and with a price per square meter of approximately 3,537 euros, buyers will need to assess whether the renovations justify this price point relative to comparable properties in the area.
Description
Located in the Karveel neighborhood on the north side of Lelystad, this terraced family home offers a surprisingly spacious living environment. The property has been thoughtfully updated in recent years, with the kitchen, bathroom, and electrical meter cupboard all renewed in 2023. The house features a distinctive architectural style where homes are connected at right angles to each other, creating an interesting and varied layout that adds character compared to standard row housing.
The ground floor welcomes you through an entrance that immediately conveys a sense of care and modern design. A herringbone pattern PVC floor with underfloor heating runs throughout the entire ground level, providing a consistent and warm foundation. The black steel pivot door in the hallway adds a contemporary touch. The hallway itself contains a toilet, the meter cupboard, a practical storage closet, and access to the internal utility room which houses connections for laundry appliances and offers additional storage space.
From the hallway, there is a clear sightline through the property towards the living area, where natural light streams in through the extension and the tall windows. The kitchen, renovated in 2023, serves as the heart of the home. It features anthracite colored front panels, a marble look countertop, and a clean finish that gives the space a robust and modern appearance. The corner layout provides ample work and storage space, and the bar counter creates a natural spot for casual meals or conversation while cooking. A hot water tap adds everyday convenience. The open staircase construction, combined with the tall windows along the stairs, gives the space an extra sense of dynamism and height.
The living room has been extended and is surprisingly spacious in its setup. Due to the playful shape of the property, the whole feels different from standard rectangular layouts. Various distinct areas naturally emerge here: a seating area around the wood burning stove, a generous connection with the kitchen, and a bright dining area on the garden side. The wood burning stove serves as the literal and figurative warm center of the living space. Large sliding doors, floor to ceiling windows, and a skylight in the extension ensure a pleasant amount of daylight throughout the day. The combination of soft colors, wood tones, and dark accents keeps the interior warm and atmospheric.
The dining area is situated in the extension at the rear of the property. This is a pleasant space with direct contact to the outdoors. In summer, the garden almost naturally flows indoors when the doors are open. The room feels open, airy, and connected to the overkapping and the terrace.
The first floor features a remarkably spacious and practically arranged landing with multiple built in storage cupboards, including a separate cupboard for the central heating boiler. A separate toilet on this floor provides extra comfort for daily use. Thanks to the tall windows along the stairs, this floor also feels pleasantly open.
The bathroom was renovated in 2023 and is finished in a modern, hotel like style with large gray tiles, black accents, and a calm appearance. The space includes a spacious walk in shower, a double vanity with cabinet, and a designer radiator. The finish is clean, contemporary, and entirely in line with the rest of the home.
The property has three bedrooms, each with a neat and well maintained finish. The largest bedroom at the front is generously proportioned and looks out freely towards the greenery of the surroundings. A dark accent wall gives the space extra atmosphere and connects nicely with the calm, modern style found throughout the home. The two remaining rooms are located at the rear of the property and lend themselves flexibly to different uses. Whether for bedrooms, a home office, hobby room, or a combination thereof, the layout offers plenty of possibilities.
The rear garden faces the sunny south and is low maintenance in design with large tiles, green accents, and multiple seating areas. The standout feature is the generous full width overkapping at the back of the garden. This space feels almost like an additional outdoor room, suitable for sheltered sitting on warm summer days, long evenings with friends, or a quiet morning coffee while the garden slowly wakes up. A rear access path makes the garden practical in use, and the roller shutters on the rear of the property provide additional comfort.
The Karveel neighborhood offers a living environment where peace and accessibility go hand in hand. Residents live close to the Zuigerplasbos, the Belevenissenbos, allotment gardens, and extensive polder nature. At the same time, amenities are surprisingly close by. Primary schools, childcare, supermarkets, sports facilities, and public transport are easily accessible, as are Batavia Stad, the dike towards Enkhuizen, and the roads to Almere and the Randstad. The center of Lelystad and the train station are easily reachable by bicycle. What makes this street particularly pleasant is the atmosphere: quiet, friendly, and involved. A neighborhood without through traffic where neighbors know each other and children still play outside.
The property has a living area of approximately 108 square meters, a volume of approximately 382 cubic meters, and a plot area of 152 square meters. The home was built in 1972 and has achieved Energy Label A, helped by 12 solar panels and full insulation including double glazing and HR glass. Heating is provided by a Remeha Tzerra 39C gas fired combination boiler from 2023, which is owned. The property includes a detached wooden storage shed and parking on the property for two cars.
Delivery of the property is in consultation, with the sellers preferring around September or October 2026. The buyer may choose the notary, provided it is based in Lelystad.
