Spacious End Terraced House with Roof Terrace in Almere Poort
Key Features
Upsides
- Three full-width bedrooms provide generous sleeping accommodation across the first and second floors.
- The property holds an A+ energy label with HR++ glass, full insulation, and district heating, resulting in lower energy costs.
- Both a southeast-facing garden and a northwest-facing roof terrace offer outdoor living spaces with different sun exposures throughout the day.
- The location in Almere Poort provides proximity to an international school, public transport, shopping areas, and quick highway access to Amsterdam.
- The 2015 construction date means the property benefits from modern building standards and relatively low maintenance requirements with plastic window frames.
Downsides
- The asking price of 550,000 euros is a bidding from price, meaning the actual purchase price will likely be higher.
- Parking is limited to public street parking with no dedicated parking space or garage on the property.
- The rear garden at 37 square meters is relatively modest for a house with 145 square meters of living space.
- The open layout between the kitchen and living room on the ground floor may not provide separation for those who prefer distinct living and cooking areas.
Description
This spacious end terraced house is located in the Homeruskwartier neighborhood of Almere Poort. The property was built in 2015 and offers a total living area of 145 square meters spread across three floors. The house is situated along a quiet singel, providing views over a green strip and the waterway at the front. The asking price starts at 550,000 euros, which is a bidding from price, meaning the final transaction price may be higher.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to a toilet, the meter cupboard, a wardrobe space, and connections to both the kitchen and the living room. The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house and features a practical corner configuration. It includes numerous upper and lower cabinets that offer substantial storage capacity. The kitchen comes equipped with built-in appliances consisting of an induction cooktop with an extractor hood, an oven, a microwave, and a dishwasher. A separate refrigerator-freezer combination is also included. The spacious design of the kitchen area allows for the placement of a large dining table, making it suitable for family meals and entertaining guests.
The living room is located at the rear of the ground floor. This room receives good natural light and features a generous seating area. The connection to the garden is established through sliding doors that open fully. A staircase leading to the upper floor is positioned between the kitchen and the living room. Beneath this staircase, there is a closed storage cupboard that provides additional space for storing items.
The first floor contains an landing that gives access to two bedrooms and the bathroom. Both bedrooms on this level span the full width of the house, which provides generous floor space. The bedroom at the front includes a walk-in closet, while the bedroom at the rear has a separated area that could potentially be converted into a walk-in closet if desired.
The bathroom on this floor is internal to the house and is almost completely tiled from floor to ceiling. It is fitted with a large walk-in shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit with a double sink and a mirror cabinet. The bathroom also includes additional storage cabinets above the toilet area, ensuring ample space for toiletries and other bathroom essentials.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase. This level houses a laundry room where a washing machine and a dryer can be placed side by side. There are also shelving units for additional storage, and the mechanical ventilation unit is located here. From the landing on this floor, there is access to the roof terrace at the front and the third bedroom at the rear.
The third bedroom on the second floor also spans the full width of the house. This space offers flexibility and can serve as a large bedroom, a home office, or a hobby room depending on the needs of the occupants. The roof terrace is positioned at the northwest side of the property and provides views over the singel and the surrounding area of Almere Poort. The roof terrace measures 22 square meters in total as part of the building-bound outdoor space.
The rear garden covers an area of 37 square meters and faces southeast. This orientation means the garden receives sunlight from early in the day. The garden includes a terrace area, various planted borders, and a freestanding wooden shed for storage. The garden can also be accessed via a rear path, and an outdoor water tap is available.
The property features plastic window frames with HR++ glass, which contributes to the energy efficiency of the home. The energy label is rated A+, and the house has full insulation. Heating is provided through district heating, and hot water is supplied through a central facility. The house also has a mechanical ventilation system and natural ventilation options. A fiber optic cable connection is available.
The location of this property is in a residential area with various amenities nearby. The Homerusmarkt shopping area, multiple supermarkets, schools including an international school, Homeruspark, and public transportation including the Almere Poort NS station are all within the direct vicinity. The A6 highway, providing connections to Amsterdam and Lelystad, is also easily accessible from this location.
Parking at this property is available through public parking spaces in the area, as there is no private parking or garage included with the house. The property sits on a plot of 105 square meters and has a total volume of 517 cubic meters. The cadastral designation is ALMERE W 1968, and the property is held in full ownership.
The roof construction is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The external storage space of 6 square meters refers to the freestanding wooden shed in the garden.
