The property is located in the Boomrijk district, a neighborhood known for its mature trees, high-quality architecture, and proximity to various natural amenities such as the beach and the IJmeer.
The location of this property is one of its most defining features. Residents of Almere DUIN enjoy a unique living environment that combines nature with urban conveniences. The specific sub-area of Boomrijk is characterized by its lush greenery and the presence of the original Muiderbos forest. The architecture in this area utilizes natural materials like Accoya wood, contributing to a serene and aesthetic atmosphere. The street itself is a quiet dead-end street with only local traffic, providing a safe and peaceful setting for families. Despite the tranquil surroundings, the home is conveniently located near essential amenities. A supermarket, gym, dentist, hair salon, and various restaurants such as Restaurant Dunes, Zuyder, and MINT are all within a short distance. For those who commute, the city center of Amsterdam is accessible within approximately twenty minutes by car or train, making this a practical base for work in the city.
Upon entering the property, one arrives in a hallway that houses the meter cupboard, a home battery system, and a separate toilet. A striking industrial-style door, reaching from floor to ceiling, opens up to the living room. The living room is situated at the front of the house and is designed to be both spacious and inviting. A key feature of this room is the open fireplace, which serves as a focal point and provides a cozy atmosphere during the winter months. Large windows ensure an abundance of natural light and create a seamless visual connection between the interior and the exterior green spaces.
At the rear of the ground floor lies the open kitchen, which is adjoined by a dining area. This space is characterized by its modern design and excellent light exposure, facilitated by a large sliding door and several skylights. The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end built-in appliances, catering to the needs of culinary enthusiasts. Included in the appliance package are a steam oven, an American-style refrigerator, a combination microwave, a dishwasher, a Quooker tap, and an induction cooktop with integrated extraction. The kitchen island provides additional workspace and serves as a central gathering point for social interactions. The west-facing orientation of the rear of the house ensures that this space is bathed in sunlight during the afternoon and evening.
The outdoor area is designed to be a private sanctuary. The backyard borders a charming stream and is surrounded by lush landscaping, offering a high degree of privacy. The garden faces west, making it an ideal spot to enjoy the evening sun. The presence of the stream and the mature planting creates a peaceful ambiance where residents can enjoy the outdoors and the sounds of nature. In addition to the backyard, the property features a front garden and a side garden. There is also a wooden storage shed attached to the house, and a private driveway provides parking space for two cars.
Moving to the first floor, the design continues to emphasize light and space. An open vide and large skylights on the landing create an airy and spacious feel. This landing area is versatile and can be used as a home office, a study nook, or a relaxation spot. The luxurious bathroom is located on this floor and is finished in a light, modern color scheme. It is equipped with a walk-in shower, a freestanding bathtub, a double vanity, a toilet, and a designer radiator. The skylights in the bathroom allow for natural light by day and offer views of the starry sky by night. The first floor also hosts a large bedroom at the front of the house. This bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet that can be closed off with sliding doors. The layout is flexible, allowing for the relatively easy creation of an additional bedroom should the need arise.
The second floor of the residence offers impressive roof height and a flexible layout. Originally designed as a large open space, a professional partition has recently been added to create an extra room. Currently, there is a large bedroom spanning the full length of the house, which can be divided into multiple rooms to accommodate larger families or to create dedicated spaces for hobbies or guests. Behind the knee walls, there is valuable storage space. The landing on this floor houses the connections for a washing machine and dryer, making it a practical laundry area.
Sustainability is a key aspect of this property. The home is energy-efficient and holds an energy label A. It is equipped with nine solar panels which are owned by the property, and a private 20 kWh home battery system. The construction, dating from 2020, includes full insulation and modern energy standards. Heating is provided via district heating, supplemented by partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. These features ensure that the energy costs are kept to a minimum while maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.
