Spacious Extended Family Home with Four Bedrooms in Child-Friendly Daalmeer
Key Features
Upsides
- The generous rear extension combined with four spacious bedrooms makes this an excellent choice for families needing ample living and sleeping space.
- The modern open kitchen, fully renewed in 2021 with AEG appliances, adds significant contemporary comfort and reduces the likelihood of immediate renovation costs.
- The south-facing rear garden, private driveway with parking, and internally accessible storage together create a practical and enjoyable outdoor and storage solution.
- The home has been equipped with double glazing, HR glass, insulation in the roof, walls, and floor, as well as solar panels, which contribute to lower energy costs and a more comfortable indoor environment.
- The location in Daalmeer offers a quiet, child-friendly setting yet with excellent access to shopping, healthcare, schools, sports facilities, and major road connections via Alkmaar's ring road.
Downsides
- The property has an energy label C, which indicates relatively higher energy consumption compared to newer or more extensively renovated homes. This may result in higher ongoing energy costs and could limit eligibility for certain mortgages.
- As a terraced house, the property shares walls with adjacent neighbours, which means some exposure to noise from neighbouring households and less privacy compared to a detached or semi-detached property.
- Parking is limited to the private driveway accommodating one car, with additional parking available only in the public domain. This may be a limitation in areas where on-street parking is competitive.
- The south-facing orientation of the garden, while ideal for sunlight, can lead to strong heating of the indoor living spaces during summer months, increasing reliance on the electric sun awning and cooling measures.
- The home is heated by a hot air heating system and a heat recovery installation. While effective, hot air heating systems are sometimes perceived as less comfortable than radiators or underfloor heating, and they can circulate dust more easily.

The accessibility is also excellent. Via the ring road of Alkmaar, you can reach the exits towards Alkmaar city centre, Heerhugowaard, Hoorn, Amsterdam, and Haarlem within a few minutes. The property is situated in a quiet and child-friendly residential neighbourhood.
