Description
This apartment is situated in the young and popular district of Almere Poort, housed within a modern apartment complex consisting of fifteen floors. The property itself is located on the seventh floor and is a corner apartment that has been neatly finished throughout. Thanks to its elevated position and corner placement, the apartment offers a magnificent view and benefits from an abundance of natural light. A private parking space is included with the property, located at the rear of the complex.
The location of this apartment provides excellent connectivity to various destinations. Public transport and the Almere Poort train station are within walking distance, offering a direct connection to Amsterdam. The A6 and A1 highways are also easily accessible, making cities such as Lelystad and Utrecht readily reachable by car. Almere Poort has developed into a highly sought-after residential area with a wide range of amenities. These include schools, shops, a health center, sports facilities, and the Cascadepark. Additionally, the Almeerderstrand beach and the harbor are located at a short distance, reachable by bicycle within approximately five minutes. This proximity to the waterfront makes the location particularly appealing for relaxation during the summer months or for outdoor activities in the autumn.
The apartment was built in 2009 and has a living area of approximately sixty-six square meters. The building features a central entrance on the ground floor, which is well-maintained and equipped with an intercom system and mailboxes. From the entrance, residents have access to a secure bicycle storage area and two elevators that provide convenient access to all floors. A passage at the rear of the building leads to the private parking space that is exclusively assigned to this apartment.
The apartment is positioned at the end of the gallery on the seventh floor, which ensures additional peace and privacy compared to apartments located near the elevators or stairwells. Upon entering the apartment, one arrives in a spacious hallway that provides access to all rooms. The living room is located at the front of the apartment and is particularly bright due to the large windows and the presence of two French balconies. These balconies not only allow for additional daylight to enter the living space but also give the room a charming and open character.
The half-open kitchen connects seamlessly to the living room and has a modern design. The kitchen is equipped with built-in spotlights and various appliances, including an induction cooktop, oven, dishwasher, extractor hood, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. This makes the kitchen well-equipped for both daily use and the preparation of more elaborate meals.
The spacious bedroom is situated on the gallery side of the apartment and features an additional window, which contributes to extra light and ventilation. Due to the corner position of the apartment, this bedroom does not suffer from passers-by on the gallery, which enhances the sense of peace and privacy in this room.
The bathroom is fully tiled and has a practical layout. It includes a walk-in shower, a sink, a toilet, and a radiator. Throughout the entire apartment, a attractive light laminate floor has been installed, giving the space a modern and well-maintained appearance.
In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment has been awarded an energy label A. The property features double glazing and is fully insulated. Heating and hot water are provided through district heating, which is a reliable and efficient system. Mechanical ventilation is installed to ensure good air quality throughout the apartment.
The apartment is part of an active homeowners association that is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The association holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions of one hundred and forty-four euros per month, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance. These factors indicate a well-organized and responsible management of the shared elements of the complex.
The property is offered at an asking price of three hundred and thirty thousand euros, costs to be paid by the buyer. This translates to approximately five thousand euros per square meter. The apartment is available for immediate occupation and the exact delivery date can be discussed with the seller. The property is offered in an unfurnished state, ready for the new owner to move in and make it their own. This apartment is particularly suitable for starters who are looking for a move-in ready home in a convenient and developing location.
