Description
This well-maintained family home is situated in the sought-after neighborhood of Tussen de Vaarten in Almere. Built in 2003, the property offers a generous living area of approximately 132 square meters spread across three floors. The residence combines practical living space with desirable outdoor areas, including a backyard and a roof terrace.
The ground floor welcomes you through a spacious hallway that houses the toilet facilities and the meter cupboard. From this entrance area, the bright and expansive living room immediately catches the eye. The entire ground floor features tiled flooring equipped with underfloor heating, creating a comfortable and warm atmosphere throughout the year. A rear door provides direct access to the garden. Positioned at the front of the property is the modern open kitchen, which comes fully equipped with an induction cooktop, refrigerator, freezer, combination microwave, dishwasher, and extractor hood. The kitchen placement allows for pleasant views over the quiet street and adjacent waterway while preparing meals.
The first floor is accessible via a landing that leads to two spacious bedrooms. These rooms feature modern laminate flooring and clean finishes. The property originally had three bedrooms on this level, but modifications have created two larger rooms. The bathroom on this floor is fully tiled and comprehensively appointed with a bathtub, shower cabin, sink cabinet, and a second toilet. A lowered ceiling with recessed spotlights contributes to a refined and contemporary appearance.
The second floor benefits from straight gable walls, maximizing the available living space. Here you will find a third, very spacious bedroom that provides direct access to the sunny roof terrace, an excellent spot to enjoy the surrounding views. The landing on this level leads to a practical laundry room that has been fitted with an additional kitchen unit. This configuration makes the second floor highly suitable as an independent living space for an older child still living at home, as a guest accommodation, or as a luxurious home office setup.
The exterior of the property includes a low-maintenance backyard facing northeast, neatly laid out with paving and wooden fencing. A freestanding wooden shed provides storage space for bicycles and garden equipment. The garden is easily accessible via a side path at the rear of the property.
The location of this home is particularly advantageous. Situated on a quiet, child-friendly street with ample public parking, the property offers a peaceful residential setting while remaining exceptionally well-connected. The city center of Almere and the shopping center of Almere Buiten are both quickly reachable. Schools, public transportation, supermarkets, parks, and highways leading to the Randstad area are all present in the immediate vicinity.
In terms of technical specifications, the property features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The building is fully insulated and has double glazing throughout, resulting in an Energy Label A classification. Heating is provided through city heating, supplemented by partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. Hot water is also supplied via the city heating system. Mechanical ventilation is installed to ensure good air quality throughout the home.
The cadastral designation for this property is ALMERE P 6222, with a plot size of 153 square meters. The total building volume measures 466 cubic meters. Additional built-in outdoor space amounts to 14 square meters, which includes the roof terrace. The property is offered with full ownership rights.
Connectivity options within the home include fiber optic cable, mechanical ventilation, and TV cable connections. The property is available for viewing and transfer can be negotiated. All measurements and surface areas provided are indicative and have been compiled with due care, though no liability is accepted for any incompleteness or inaccuracies.
This residence presents a compelling opportunity for families or professionals working from home who are seeking a comfortable, move-in ready home in a prime location within Almere.
