Modern 5-Bedroom Terraced Home with Roof Terrace in Almere Noorderplassen
Key Features
Upsides
- The property has five full bedrooms, providing ample space for a family with children or for those needing home office and guest rooms.
- The energy label A+ rating combined with gas-free district heating results in lower energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
- The southwest-facing roof terrace on the top floor offers a private outdoor space with afternoon and evening sun and an unobstructed view of the green surroundings.
- The house is move-in ready with modern finishes throughout, including a herringbone PVC floor, high skirting boards, and a recently installed garden canopy from 2024.
- The location in Noorderplassen West combines proximity to nature (Pampushout forest and Noorderplassen water area) with convenient access to daily amenities such as schools, supermarkets, and public transport.
Downsides
- The property is offered with a starting bid price system, meaning the final purchase price may exceed the listed 635,000 euros.
- The backyard faces northeast, which limits direct sunlight exposure compared to south or west-facing gardens.
- Two of the bedrooms are relatively small at 6 and 7 square meters respectively, which may be limiting for some uses.
- There is an inconsistency in the listed build year, with the description stating 2017 and the features section stating 2019, which may cause uncertainty about the property's exact age.
- The storage shed lacks insulation, which limits its usability for temperature-sensitive storage throughout the year.

The second room on this floor measures approximately 7 square meters and is suitable as a work, hobby, clothing, or guest room.
The backyard covers 63 square meters and is 11.85 meters deep and 5.35 meters wide. It is oriented to the northeast and is accessible via an rear path.

The garden also includes a freestanding wooden storage shed with electricity but without insulation.
The property has an energy label A+ and is gas-free, using district heating for both heating and hot water. Insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, HR glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Mechanical ventilation is installed. The windows feature black plastic frames with a mullion pattern that gives the house a distinctive modern appearance.
