Description
Welcome to this charming and spacious family home located in the quiet and desirable district of Almere Haven. This terraced house, built in 1983, offers a comfortable and energy efficient living experience with an A energy label. Situated on a peaceful dead end street, the property provides a safe and serene environment for families while remaining conveniently close to all necessary amenities. With a living area of 120 square meters and a total volume of approximately 392 cubic meters, there is ample space for comfortable daily living. The home is designed to accommodate a growing family, with the unique potential to create up to six bedrooms, offering flexibility to suit various lifestyle needs.
The location in Almere Haven is particularly appealing. Known as a village like city district, it is a place where residents tend to settle for the long term due to its warm atmosphere and strong community feel. The vibrant center of Almere Haven is just a few minutes away by bike, offering a wide range of shops and services. The nearby Havenkom serves as a wonderful recreational area with a diverse selection of restaurants and cozy bars, providing a permanent holiday feeling right on your doorstep. For nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts, the Gooimeer with its various beaches is very close by, offering ample opportunities for outdoor activities.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a practical and well thought out hallway. This space features a neat guest toilet with a fountain, setting a tone of convenience and care from the moment you step inside. The ground floor layout is designed for modern living, centered around a light filled and garden oriented living room. This wide and inviting space is the heart of the home and offers a seamless transition to the outdoors. The living room is accessed via a door with a fully plastic frame and HR+++ glass, which not only provides excellent insulation but also floods the room with natural light.
One of the standout features of this property is the deep and low maintenance backyard, covering an area of 70 square meters. The garden is perfectly positioned on the southwest, ensuring you can enjoy the sun for a large part of the day. A magnificent aluminum overhang has been installed in the garden, creating a true extension of the living room. This canopy allows you to sit outside comfortably even on warmer summer days or during a rain shower, making the outdoor space usable throughout multiple seasons. Beneath this overhang, a modern electric sun blind is fitted. This blind spans the entire width of the house and provides welcome cooling when the sun is high in the sky, ensuring you can always enjoy a pleasant temperature in your outdoor seating area.
Adjacent to the living room is the semi open kitchen. While the kitchen structure has been retained, the cabinet doors were replaced a few years ago, giving the kitchen a fresh and contemporary appearance. It is equipped with a refrigerator freezer combination and a dishwasher that were also purchased recently, ensuring modern convenience. The stove is described as a wealth for cooking enthusiasts, making meal preparation a pleasure. The ground floor layout effectively combines cooking, dining, and relaxation, all with direct views and access to the lovely garden.
Moving to the first floor, the versatility of the home becomes apparent. This level currently houses multiple bedrooms, making it ideal for a family. Two rooms on this floor have been cleverly combined to create a spacious master bedroom. However, the layout is flexible, and this can easily be reverted to two separate rooms if preferred, depending on your specific needs. There is also sufficient space on this floor to accommodate a home office, making it suitable for those who work from home.
The second floor, created by the steep roof and flat roof construction, functions as a full additional level. Here you will find a large bedroom, providing plenty of privacy and comfort. Adjacent to this is a dedicated laundry and drying room equipped with connections for appliances, keeping household chores organized and out of the living areas. Additionally, there is an extra room which features a tiled floor, as it was previously used as a hobby space. There is yet another extra space or room available on this level. This abundance of space on the upper floors means that the property offers the unique potential to realize up to six bedrooms in total, catering perfectly to larger families or those in need of guest rooms.
The outdoor space is designed for ease of use and storage. The backyard features two sheds for storing garden furniture and tools. A particular asset is the detached stone shed which is equipped with electricity, offering secure and versatile storage options. The front garden also provides the possibility of parking on your own property, a significant luxury in this residential area.
In terms of general condition, the home is well maintained both inside and out. It boasts excellent insulation, including roof, wall, and floor insulation, which contributes to a comfortable indoor climate year round. The recent installation of plastic window frames with HR glass not only results in substantially lower energy consumption but also ensures minimal maintenance requirements for the exterior. The central heating and hot water are provided by a modern Vaillant combi boiler from 2017, which is serviced annually to guarantee reliability and efficiency.
In summary, this property offers a rare combination of space, potential, and location. Whether you are looking for a large family home, a house with workspace, or simply a comfortable residence in a scenic part of Almere, this address ticks all the boxes. The possibility to create up to six bedrooms, the luxurious garden features, and the energy efficient credentials make this a unique opportunity on the housing market.
