Unique Three-Story End House Divided into Three Separate Living Units in Lelystad
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy Label A rating with fourteen solar panels and a recently installed Intergas combination boiler from 2022, resulting in low energy costs and modern heating infrastructure.
- Highly flexible layout divided into three complete apartment units, each with its own living room, kitchen, and bathroom, offering possibilities for multi-generational living, independent living for family members, or conversion back to a traditional single-family home.
- Convenient location within walking distance of shopping centers and less than ten minutes by bicycle to the forest, swimming pool, central station, and city center of Lelystad.
- Two south-facing balconies on the upper floors providing outdoor space with favorable sun exposure, complementing the north-facing garden.
- Freehold ownership of the land with no ground lease obligations.
Downsides
- Renting out the three individual apartments is explicitly prohibited, which significantly limits the potential rental income that such a layout might otherwise generate.
- The rear garden faces north, meaning it receives less direct sunlight compared to a south-facing garden, and the total garden area is modest at twenty-six square meters.
- The storage shed is not situated on the property's own land, which creates a dependency on third-party land for this facility.
- The property dates from 1972 with a flat bituminous roof, which typically requires more maintenance and has a shorter lifespan than pitched roofs.
- A non-self-occupation clause will be included in the purchase agreement because the sellers have not lived in the property, which may complicate certain financing arrangements.
Description
Buisman Makelaars presents this distinctive three-story end house located at Strand 35 in the Atolwijk district of Lelystad. What makes this property particularly remarkable is its unique configuration: the entire building has been divided into three separate apartment units, each occupying one complete floor. Every level features its own living room, kitchen, and bathroom facilities, creating a highly flexible living arrangement that can serve multiple purposes depending on the needs of the future owner.
The ground floor accommodation begins with an entrance hall housing the meter cupboard and providing access to the staircase leading to the upper levels. The street-facing living room, which was originally a garage, includes a storage closet beneath the stairs. This room has been converted to provide comfortable living space. The separate kitchen is lockable and comes equipped with various built-in appliances, offering direct access to the rear garden and containing a closet with laundry connections. A bedroom measuring approximately eight square meters provides sleeping accommodation on this level. The fully tiled bathroom on the ground floor is fitted with a shower, a washbasin vanity unit, and a toilet. Throughout this floor, a PVC tile floor has been installed for practical maintenance and durability.
Ascending to the first floor, visitors will find a landing that provides access to both the first-floor accommodation and a door leading to the second floor. The living room on this level measures approximately eighteen square meters and features a wood-burning fireplace that can create a warm and cozy atmosphere during colder months. From this living room, there is access to a south-facing balcony measuring eight point eight square meters, ideal for enjoying afternoon and evening sun. A bedroom of approximately seven square meters is located on this floor. The open kitchen is equipped with appliances and provides access to a second balcony at the rear of the property, measuring four point eight square meters. A closet with laundry connections is conveniently situated on this level. The fully tiled bathroom includes a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin vanity unit. A laminate floor has been installed throughout the first floor.
The second floor is reached via a permanent staircase and benefits immediately from natural light streaming through a skylight, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The living room on this level is the most spacious at approximately eighteen point six square meters and offers access to a south-facing balcony measuring six square meters. A bedroom of approximately eight point three square meters completes the sleeping accommodation on this floor. The lockable kitchen is provided with appliances, and the fully tiled bathroom includes a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin vanity unit.
The outdoor space consists of a north-facing rear garden that is also accessible via a side passage. The garden features a spacious terrace area adjacent to the property. There is an attached wooden storage shed, though it is important to note that this shed is not situated on the property's own land. An interesting opportunity exists to purchase additional garden land from the municipality of Lelystad, which is currently in use.
The property was originally constructed in 1972 and has a total living area of one hundred thirty-five square meters spread across three floors. The plot covers one hundred two square meters of freehold land. Building-related outdoor space totals twenty-two square meters, comprising the three balconies. External storage amounts to fourteen square meters. The total volume of the building is four hundred thirty-nine cubic meters.
Energy efficiency has been addressed comprehensively, resulting in an Energy Label A rating valid until March 2035. The property benefits from roof insulation, double glazing, and wall insulation. Fourteen solar panels have been installed to reduce electricity costs. The heating and hot water system consists of an Intergas gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2022, which is owned by the current sellers. The roof is a flat construction covered with bituminous roofing material, and zinc rainwater gutters have been fitted.
Additional features include a mechanical ventilation system, fiberglass internet connectivity, a television cable connection, and a flue for the wood-burning stove. Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity.
The location of this property offers considerable convenience. The Atolwijk neighborhood provides a residential setting with open views. Shopping center t Lelycentre is within walking distance for daily grocery needs. The Gordiaan shopping center and Lelystad Central Station are approximately five minutes away by bicycle. Within less than ten minutes of cycling, residents can reach the forested areas, the Koploper swimming pool, and the city center of Lelystad.
This property presents several possibilities for use. It could function as a multi-generational home where family members can live independently while remaining connected. It could serve as a way for children to gradually become accustomed to living independently under the same roof as their parents. Alternatively, the new owner could choose to convert the building back into a traditional family home with a spacious living area on one of the upper floors.
It is essential to note an important restriction: renting out the three individual apartment units separately is not permitted. Additionally, the purchase agreement will include a non-self-occupation clause, as the current sellers have not resided in the property themselves. All published measurements are approximate and no rights can be derived from them.
The property is available for transfer at a price of three hundred fifty thousand euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). The date of acceptance is negotiable, though a quick transfer may be possible. Interested parties are encouraged to schedule a viewing promptly, preferably through an NVM purchase agent.
