Description
Merlijnplantsoen 2 is situated in the popular Homeruskwartier of Almere Poort. The residence is a five room, single family home built in 2011. The property sits on a plot of approximately 115 square metres and offers a usable living area of about 129 square metres. The external façade was refreshed in 2025 and the garden areas have been maintained to a high standard.
The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall that provides access to the utility cupboard and a modern toilet. The hall leads directly into a spacious living area where the staircase has been relocated to create a more open floor plan. Large double doors and an additional side door open onto a tiled rear garden. The living space is finished with a sleek white plaster on walls and ceilings and a herringbone pattern PVC floor that is heated by underfloor heating.
At the heart of the ground floor is a kitchen that was fully renewed in 2025. The kitchen features tall cabinets, a wide countertop, a central island and a range of high quality built‑in appliances. The appliance package includes a dishwasher, a Quooker boiling water tap, a combination oven with grill and microwave functions, an air‑fryer function, an induction hob with integrated extraction, and a fridge freezer unit. The kitchen design emphasizes both functionality and visual appeal and serves as a focal point for family gatherings.
Moving to the first floor, a landing provides access to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The bedrooms vary in size, offering a smaller room of roughly six square metres, a medium room of about thirteen and a slightly larger one of fourteen square metres. The bathroom is fully tiled, contains a shower niche, a wash basin with countertop, a toilet and a heated towel rail. A window in the bathroom allows natural ventilation and daylight.
The second floor is reached by a fixed staircase. Here a large fourth bedroom measures approximately twenty‑three square metres. The room is currently divided by a wardrobe wall into two separate spaces, and two entrance doors make it feasible to create additional bedrooms by adding a partition wall. A separate laundry room on this level provides connections for a washing machine and dryer as well as a mechanical ventilation unit.
Above the second floor a loft space is accessed via a pull‑down ladder. The loft offers extra storage capacity and can be used for seasonal items or hobby equipment. The property also includes an external detached wooden shed located at the rear of the garden. The shed is spacious and can accommodate bicycles, a motorbike, garden tools or serve as a small workshop.
The front of the house opens onto a child friendly, traffic‑free play area that is part of the residential complex. This creates a safe environment for families with young children. The rear garden is oriented to the north and north‑east, is fully tiled and requires little maintenance. The garden is fenced on the side that faces the street, providing privacy while still allowing easy access to the back door.
Transportation links are convenient. A bus stop is located a two minute walk from the front door, providing regular service to surrounding districts. The Almere Poort train station is within a short cycling distance and offers direct connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Lelystad. Major motorways A6 and A27 can be reached within a few minutes by car, facilitating regional travel.
Local amenities include supermarkets, schools, childcare facilities, health services and sports facilities within walking distance. The nearby Europakwartier and Cascadepark offer additional shopping and leisure options. For outdoor recreation the Almeerderstrand, the Duin nature area, the Pampushout forest and a network of cycling and walking routes are easily accessible.
The home is supplied with city heating for both space heating and hot water. Energy performance is rated at label A, reflecting a high standard of insulation that includes roof insulation, double glazed windows, wall and floor insulation and a fully insulated building envelope. The property is connected to fiber optic internet, television cable and mechanical ventilation.
The asking price is €525,000, offered with a starting bid. The seller indicates that the handover date can be arranged in consultation with the buyer. The house is presented as a ready to move in family residence with modern finishes, ample storage, a flexible floor plan and a location that combines urban convenience with a quiet residential atmosphere.
