Description
This semi-detached house, built in 2003, is located in the family-friendly neighborhood of Vroonermeer-Zuid in Alkmaar. The property offers a generous living space of 168 square meters, spread across three floors, making it particularly suitable for larger families, those who work from home, or anyone who appreciates having extra room for hobbies and storage.
Upon entering the home, you are welcomed into a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, a staircase leading to the upper floors, a storage closet under the stairs, and doors leading to the kitchen, toilet, garage, and living room. A portion of the original garage has been incorporated into the living area, which has resulted in additional living space. The remaining garage area still provides sufficient room for storing bicycles and other items.
The living room is pleasantly spacious and benefits from abundant natural light. The rear facade features large windows with French doors that open directly onto the beautifully landscaped backyard. The entire width of the rear facade is equipped with an electrically operated awning, allowing you to control the amount of sunlight entering the living space. The garden faces southwest, ensuring plenty of sunshine throughout the day, while also offering shaded areas for relaxation.
The modern kitchen, renovated in 2024, is situated on the side of the house and is partially screened from the living area, which means the kitchen worktop is not directly visible from the main seating area. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of built-in appliances, including a refrigerator-freezer combination from 2024, a combi-microwave from 2024, a close-in boiler from 2024, an induction cooktop from 2018, and a dishwasher from 2021. There is also space at the front of the kitchen where a breakfast table could be placed if desired.
The first floor features a landing that gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms. The two bedrooms at the rear of the property both have access to a spacious roof terrace, while the front bedroom has its own balcony. The front bedroom is the largest of the three and includes a walk-in closet. Also located on this floor is the modern bathroom, which is equipped with a walk-in shower featuring a sun shower, a second toilet, and a vanity unit with a washbasin.
The second floor comprises a landing with two additional bedrooms, both of which have their own washbasin. This floor also houses a large storage area that contains the heat recovery ventilation system, installed in 2023, a Brink hot air heating boiler from 2023, and an Intergas geiser from 2015.
The outdoor spaces of this property are particularly noteworthy. The backyard has been attractively landscaped and includes both sunny and shaded areas. A wooden shed with an adjoining canopy provides additional storage and covered outdoor seating. The roof terrace on the first floor is accessible from the two rear bedrooms and offers a pleasant outdoor space without interfering with the garden below. Additionally, the front balcony adjacent to the largest bedroom allows multiple household members to enjoy the outdoors simultaneously without disturbing one another.
The property is located in a child-friendly neighborhood with all essential amenities nearby. Shopping center De Mare is within easy cycling distance, and the Ring Alkmaar is just around the corner. A primary school can be found within walking distance. At the front of the property, there is space to park two cars on private land, and an electric vehicle charging station is already installed.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property has an energy label A or A+. The hot air heating system and heat recovery ventilation were both renewed in 2023. The property is also equipped with twelve solar panels installed in 2020, contributing to lower energy costs. The facades of the property were cleaned in March 2026.
The property has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total plot area measures 222 square meters, with the backyard specifically measuring 73 square meters, being 10 meters deep and 7.30 meters wide. The building volume is 657 cubic meters. Additional outdoor space includes 29 square meters of building-bound outdoor area and 10 square meters of external storage space.
This semi-detached house is offered at a asking price of 650,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer, which translates to approximately 3,869 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and transfer is to be agreed upon. The property is offered partially furnished and features fiber optic cable connection.
The kadastrial designation is ALKMAAR L 2757, with full ownership. The property is situated in a residential area with an unobstructed view. Parking is available both on the private property and in public spaces in the vicinity.
