Key Features
Upsides
- The property is fully gas-free with eleven solar panels and Energy Label A, making it very energy efficient and future-proof.
- The large attic floor offers excellent flexibility and can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom or additional living space.
- The location in the popular Literatuurwijk provides a family-friendly environment with schools, shops, parks, and public transportation all within close reach.
- The southeast-facing garden of 55 square meters ensures plenty of sunlight throughout the day and includes a practical wooden shed with electricity.
Downsides

- Parking is only available on public streets, with no private parking space or garage belonging to the property.
- The asking price is presented as a starting bid price (bieden vanaf prijs), which means the final purchase price will likely be higher than the listed 500,000 euros.

Description
This family home is situated in the popular Literatuurwijk neighborhood of Almere. The property is offered by SUUS Makelaardij with a starting bid price. The home features a spacious living room, a live-in kitchen, three bedrooms on the first floor, a sunny garden, and a large attic floor that offers various usage possibilities. These are the characteristics that many families are looking for in a home. The Literatuurwijk is known as a quiet and child-friendly neighborhood with schools, shops, public transportation, parks, and even a beach within easy reach.
The property is located on a quiet street in the Literatuurwijk. This neighborhood is notably green, which is visible in this street through the various green strips. Residents can park their cars in the public parking spaces in front of the door. The front yard of the property is neatly and pleasantly arranged with different types of paving and planting. This space offers the opportunity to place a small bench or to indulge in gardening.
Upon entering the home, you arrive in the hallway. Here you will find a neat tile floor and lightly finished walls. The hallway contains the meter cupboard, a toilet with a small sink, and access doors to both the living room and the kitchen. This practical layout ensures a smooth flow through the ground floor of the home.
The living room is located at the rear of the property. The first thing that stands out is the width and brightness of this space. Thanks to the large sliding door that leads to the backyard, the room feels extra spacious and open. The floor has an attractive wooden floor with a convector pit, and the walls and ceilings are smoothly plastered in light colors. There is ample room for a large seating area and additional storage furniture.
The sliding door provides access to the backyard. The garden faces southeast, which means you can enjoy the sun for a large part of the day. The garden is pleasantly arranged with a combination of paving and greenery, making it both low-maintenance and atmospheric. There is sufficient space for a lounge set and, for example, a trampoline for children. At the rear of the garden stands a wooden shed with electricity, which is ideal for storing bicycles and gardening tools. The garden is also easily accessible via a side path at the back.
The kitchen is located at the front of the property and can be reached both through a passage from the living room and from the hallway. This spacious live-in kitchen features a practical L-shaped layout with wood-colored cabinet fronts and a matching wooden worktop. The colorful wall tiles add a cheerful detail to the space. The cabinets and drawers offer ample storage space, and there is plenty of workspace. The kitchen includes built-in induction cooktop and an extractor hood. There is also a freestanding dishwasher. Thanks to the large window at the front, this space is also pleasantly light. There is enough room for a large dining table, making this a true live-in kitchen where daily life takes place.
The first floor contains three bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom is located at the rear of the property and offers enough space for a large bed and multiple wardrobes. There is also a second bedroom at the rear, currently set up as a hobby room, but also perfectly suitable as a nursery, walk-in closet, or home office. The third bedroom is located at the front and also has a pleasant size. This room is currently used as an office. The entire floor has a neat laminate floor.
The bathroom is neatly finished with white floor and wall tiles. A glass block wall between the toilet and the shower serves as an eye-catching feature. The space is practically arranged and equipped with a shower, toilet, towel radiator, and sink. A window provides plenty of natural light and ventilation.
Via the fixed staircase, you reach the attic floor. This is a surprisingly spacious open floor with a large window that provides plenty of light. Currently, this space is used as a hobby room, but thanks to its size, it would be easy to create a generous fourth bedroom here. You will also find the connections for the washing machine, the mechanical ventilation system, and handy knee walls for additional storage space. The floor has vinyl and the walls are light-colored.
The property is future-ready in terms of sustainability. The home is completely gas-free and has eleven solar panels. Heating and hot water are provided by district heating (stadsverwarming). The property has an Energy Label A rating and features double glazing and full insulation.
The location completes the picture. The property is located in the popular Literatuurwijk in Almere, a quiet and green neighborhood with everything you need within close reach. In the immediate vicinity, you will find schools, playgrounds, supermarkets, sports facilities, and a train station. You can also easily access nature from here, for example in the nearby Pampushout or Kromslootpark. If you want a day by the water, you are in the right place, as you can reach the beach of Almere Duin within a fifteen-minute bike ride. Public transportation is well organized, and by bike or car you are quickly in the center of Almere Stad. Via the main roads, you can also quickly reach the A6 towards Amsterdam, Lelystad, and Het Gooi.
The property has a total living area of 139 square meters and an external storage space of 11 square meters. The plot covers 156 square meters.
