Key Features
Upsides

- The spacious detached garage measures 7 by 3.30 meters and guarantees a private parking spot, which is valuable in a central location.
- The corner position provides extra side space, a larger garden with enhanced privacy, and favorable natural light conditions throughout the home.
- The nearly 30 square meter attic offers significant potential to create additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, or a home office according to personal needs.
- The Staatsliedenwijk location combines quiet residential living with walking distance to Beatrixpark, shops, schools, and the NS station, offering excellent connectivity.
Downsides
- The property currently has only three bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families without completing renovation work on the attic.
- The listing explicitly mentions that the property offers a basis for further modernization, indicating that updates and personalization will likely be needed.
- Built in 1985, the property is approaching 40 years old, which may mean certain building systems and finishes are reaching the end of their functional lifespan.
- The asking price per square meter of 3,814 euros may be considered high for Almere given the age and the need for potential modernization.
- District heating (stadsverwarming) is the heating system, which some buyers may prefer to avoid due to perceived lack of control over heating costs compared to individual gas boilers.
Description
This corner house is situated on a quiet location in the Staatsliedenwijk district of Almere-Centrum. The property benefits from additional side space that comes with a corner position, providing extra privacy and a more spacious feel compared to mid-terrace homes in the same area. The residence has a total living area of 118 square meters, sits on a plot of 229 square meters, and has a volume of 413 cubic meters. The house was originally built in 1985 and has been maintained in good condition over the years, with painting work completed in 2022 and electrical connections on the upper floor renewed in 2020.
The Staatsliedenwijk is a green and centrally located neighborhood in Almere. Residents of this area benefit from living within walking distance of Beatrixpark, which offers recreational opportunities and pleasant walking routes. The immediate surroundings include various amenities such as shops, schools, public transportation options, and sports facilities. The center of Almere Stad and the NS railway station are both within short reach, making this location particularly convenient for commuters and those who appreciate urban conveniences. The neighborhood is characterized by abundant greenery, quiet streets, and good accessibility to major roads including the A6 and A27 highways. This combination of tranquility and connectivity makes the area popular among families and working professionals alike.
Entering the property through the front door, you arrive in the entrance hall which features a custom-made coat rack, providing practical storage for jackets and accessories. The hall also contains the meter cupboard and gives access to the toilet room and the living area. The toilet room has been updated to modern standards.
The living room is positioned at the rear of the ground floor, facing the garden. This room features large window sections that allow significant amounts of natural light to enter the space throughout the day. The room is spacious enough to accommodate both a comfortable seating area and a dining table setup. The flooring throughout the ground floor consists of quality laminate, providing a clean and uniform appearance. A solid hardwood door provides direct access from the living room to the rear garden.
The kitchen is located at the front of the property and is arranged in an L-shaped corner configuration. This kitchen offers substantial storage and cabinet space, making it practical for daily use and meal preparation. The work surface is a Duropal countertop with a stainless steel sink and faucet. The kitchen comes equipped with various built-in appliances including a combination oven and microwave, an induction cooktop, a refrigerator-freezer combination, a dishwasher, a flat-screen extraction hood, and built-in lighting. This comprehensive appliance package means the kitchen is ready for immediate use without requiring additional purchases.
The first floor is accessible via the staircase in the hall. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The current layout offers three bedrooms on this level, though the property has potential for creating additional sleeping quarters on the upper floor. The bathroom on this floor has been finished with light-colored tiles extending to the ceiling and features underfloor heating for comfort. The bathroom includes a plastic bathtub with shower function, a modern toilet, a vanity unit with sink, and a mirror cabinet. These amenities make the bathroom both functional and visually appealing.
The second floor houses a substantial attic space measuring nearly 30 square meters. This area presents various possibilities for the new owner, including the creation of additional bedrooms, a second bathroom, or a home office space. The attic already has connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as mechanical ventilation, indicating that some basic infrastructure is in place for future development. The electrical installations on this floor were renewed in 2020, which would facilitate any renovation or conversion plans.
The outdoor space is a notable feature of this property. The rear garden faces southeast, ensuring sunshine throughout the day. Thanks to the corner position of the house, the garden benefits from additional privacy compared to gardens of mid-terrace properties. The garden has been neatly laid out with various plantings and features fencing with concrete posts, a gate, an outdoor water tap, and an awning for shade. The garden dimensions are approximately 15.50 meters in depth and 7.50 meters in width, providing ample space for outdoor dining, relaxation, or gardening activities.
A particularly valuable addition to this property is the spacious detached stone garage measuring 7 by 3.30 meters. This garage is large enough to accommodate one vehicle and provides additional storage space. Having a private parking spot on your own property is a significant advantage in a central location like Almere-Centrum, where on-street parking can be competitive. The garage is equipped with electricity.
The property holds an Energy Label A rating, which indicates excellent energy efficiency. This high rating is notable for a property built in 1985, suggesting that improvements have been made to the insulation and energy systems over time. The property is connected to district heating (stadsverwarming) for both heating and hot water, with partial underfloor heating in the bathroom. The listing also mentions that installing solar panels would be feasible, offering potential for further energy cost reductions and sustainability improvements.
Recent maintenance activities include exterior painting work completed in 2022 and electrical renewal on the upper floor in 2020. These updates indicate that the current owner has been attentive to the property's maintenance needs. The listing describes the property as providing an excellent foundation for further modernization according to personal taste, suggesting that while the home is in good condition, there may be elements that a new owner might wish to update or personalize.
The property is offered with a bidding starting price, with the specific amount to be viewed on the listing agent's website. The asking price is stated as 450,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,814 euros per square meter of living space. Transfer is available in consultation, allowing flexibility for the moving timeline.
This corner house on Prinsenpad presents itself as a practical and well-located family home. The combination of a quiet residential setting with proximity to urban amenities, the generous garden with privacy, the large garage with private parking, and the potential for expansion on the upper floor make this property suitable for various buyer profiles including starters and families looking for a home they can personalize over time.
