Luxury Combined Living and Working Property Near Almere Muziekwijk Station
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers an exceptional combination of luxury residential living with substantial commercial facilities, including a spacious business hall with overhead door and mezzanine storage, making it ideal for entrepreneurs who need to operate a business from home without compromising on living standards.
- The comprehensive sustainability measures, including 70 solar panels, a heat pump system, and full domotica automation, have resulted in an A+++ energy rating, making the property nearly energy self-sufficient and significantly reducing ongoing utility costs.
- The extensive amenities including a recently renovated luxury kitchen with island, spa-like wellness area with sauna and jacuzzi, glass garden room, and south-facing garden create an exceptionally high quality of living that surpasses typical residential properties.
- The integrated office space accessible from both inside the home and directly from the entrance provides professional work environment flexibility, while the three-car indoor garage with additional amenities offers practical storage and parking solutions.
- The convenient location near Muziekwijk station and excellent public transport connections makes this property accessible for both residents and any business visitors or employees.
Downsides
- The 10.4 percent transfer tax applies specifically to the commercial portion of the property, which will increase the total acquisition costs beyond the stated asking price and should be factored into any purchase budget.
- The garden measures only 0.15 meters deep and 0.10 meters wide according to official records, which seems inconsistent with the described south-facing garden and glass garden room, and buyers should verify the actual outdoor space dimensions.
- The property is located on a commercial or industrial zone, which may result in noise, traffic, or aesthetic considerations that differ from traditional residential neighborhoods, potentially affecting the residential living experience.
- The bedroom configuration includes two smaller rooms alongside two larger ones, which may limit the property's suitability for families requiring multiple generous-sized bedrooms or for those seeking to use rooms as home office spaces.
- The property was built in 1999 with a flat roof covered in bituminous membrane, which may require more frequent maintenance or eventual replacement compared to pitched roof alternatives, and buyers should investigate the current condition of roofing and other building systems.
Description
This exceptional property at Musicalstraat 6 in Almere presents a rare opportunity to own a combined residential and commercial estate that has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of entrepreneurs who wish to live and work in the same location. Built in 1999, this linked dwelling with business space offers approximately 191 square meters of residential area alongside substantial commercial facilities, all situated on a generous plot of 591 square meters.
The residential portion of this property has been finished to a high standard and provides a luxurious and comfortable living environment. Upon entering through the spacious square hall, visitors are greeted by the carefully designed interior that balances elegance with practicality. To the left of the entrance lies the main living quarters, which feature a beautifully appointed living room with an open staircase that leads to the upper floor.
The kitchen is a standout feature of this home, having been completely renewed four years ago. It comes equipped with modern appliances and features a practical island with a bar area, making it ideal for both everyday cooking and entertaining. Large sliding doors connect the kitchen seamlessly to the garden room and the outdoor space, allowing natural light to flood the interior and creating a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living areas.
The upper floor accommodates four bedrooms, with two rooms offering generous proportions while the other two are more compact in size. All bedrooms are fitted with screens to provide protection from direct sunlight, enhancing comfort during warmer months. The spacious bathroom on this level features a walk-in shower with a rain head, a double vanity sink, and premium fixtures that add a touch of luxury to daily routines. A dedicated laundry room completes the upper floor accommodation, offering practical solutions for everyday household tasks.
One of the most distinctive aspects of this property is the integrated work space. Accessible from one of the bedrooms via a small landing, as well as directly from the main entrance on the right side, the office area provides privacy and professional comfort without compromising the luxury feel of the residential portion. This space is particularly suitable for freelancers, consultants, designers, or other professionals who require a dedicated work environment within their own home.
At the top of the main staircase, residents will find the control hub for the comprehensive domotica system that has been installed throughout the property. This smart home technology allows for convenient control of lighting, temperature, and other systems via smartphone or tablet, contributing to both comfort and energy efficiency.
The property has undergone extensive sustainability improvements to achieve near-complete energy self-sufficiency. Seventy solar panels have been installed, supplemented by a heat pump system that provides efficient climate control. These measures have resulted in an outstanding energy label of A+++, making this property both environmentally responsible and economical to maintain.
The commercial facilities at this address are substantial and versatile. A spacious business hall can be accessed via the wellness area or from outside, and it is equipped with an electric overhead door for easy vehicle or goods access. The hall benefits from a large driveway that provides additional parking and maneuvering space. An entresol level constructed on steel, covering approximately half of the hall floor area, offers valuable additional storage capacity and adds to the flexibility of the space. These commercial facilities are well-suited for storage, light production, or service-based businesses.
The outdoor areas of this property have been designed to maximize enjoyment and relaxation. The garden is positioned on the south side, ensuring plenty of sunshine throughout most of the day. A recently constructed glass garden room, built on a concrete foundation, serves as an attractive focal point in the otherwise rectangular garden layout. This versatile space is perfect for relaxation, hosting gatherings, or simply enjoying the garden in any weather.
Accessible from the garden room, the wellness area represents the pinnacle of luxury in this property. This private retreat includes a sauna, jacuzzi, shower facilities, and a toilet, providing the perfect space to unwind after a demanding workday. The wellness area offers ultimate luxury and privacy, transforming this property into a personal oasis of tranquility.
Parking is generously provided for with an indoor garage that can accommodate up to three vehicles. The garage is equipped with an electric door, a loft area for additional storage, electricity, heating, and running water. Additional parking is available on the private driveway and in public spaces directly in front of the property.
The location of Musicalstraat 6 offers excellent accessibility. Muziekwijk station is within close proximity, providing convenient rail connections for commuters. Several bus routes serve the area, further enhancing public transport options. The property sits within a commercial zone, which is consistent with its mixed-use character.
The asking price of 997,500 euros excluding transfer costs reflects the unique combination of residential quality, commercial versatility, and premium features that this property offers. Prospective buyers should note that transfer tax at the prevailing rate of 10.4 percent applies to the commercial portion of the property.
This property represents an outstanding option for entrepreneurs seeking a comprehensive solution that combines high-quality living accommodations with functional commercial space. The flexibility to operate a business from home without sacrificing comfort or luxury makes this an attractive proposition for those who value both professional success and personal quality of life.
