Schaakveld 441359 HN AlmereDe Velden Noord

This stylishly maintained detached villa is located in one of the most beautiful spots in Almere Haven, in the green and popular De Velden neighborhood. Around the corner from Kromslootpark and Vroege Vogelbos and a short distance from Gooimeer, you will find an oasis of peace, space, and light. A place where every day begins with birdsong and sunshine. The villa is situated on a spacious plot with a beautifully landscaped garden all around. As soon as you step inside, you feel the space: the high hall with mezzanine, the abundant daylight, and the fluid connection between inside and outside. The living room is the beating heart of the house: spacious, light, and with large windows that naturally bring the garden inside. Here, you live with the rhythm of the seasons. In summer, the French doors are open and life spills outside; in winter, the view of the garden forms a living painting behind glass. The garden is a story in itself. With its southeast location, mature greenery, and several sunny terraces, it offers a place to enjoy at any time of the day. Whether you start the day quietly with a cup of coffee in the morning sun, dine with friends on the hardwood terrace with canopy (and heating), or simply enjoy the soft rustling of the trees, here you feel at one with your surroundings. At the back of the garden, there is also a heated garden shed: an atmospheric place that lends itself to relaxation, creativity, or simply a moment to yourself. This villa combines the best of both worlds: living in green surroundings, with the Gooimeer lake, the marina, the beach, and the A6 and A1 highways just a few minutes away. A house that exudes tranquility, offers space, and invites you to live with your doors open. Layout: Ground floor As soon as you enter the house, the high ceiling with the loft immediately catches your eye. Light floods in abundantly and the wooden staircase adds a warm accent to the space, inviting you to look further. The hall exudes space and openness and naturally leads you to the living room. There, a delightful living space unfolds where light, air, and coziness come together. The large windows draw the greenery from outside in and give the room a relaxed, almost rural atmosphere. On a summer day, you open the double French doors and life effortlessly flows outside: long evenings with open doors, the soft rustling of the trees, and a glass of wine within reach. The open kitchen forms the heart of the home. While cooking, it remains lively and homely; the kitchen is spacious, practical, and inviting with plenty of counter space, built-in appliances, and storage space. This is the kind of place where the family naturally comes together, not because they have to, but because it's a pleasant place to be. On the side of the house is a second entrance, a smart and practical addition. Here there is space for coats, boots, and sports bags; the perfect entrance after a walk in the woods, a bike ride, or a walk with the dog. From here you can walk straight through to the garage, a well-maintained and heated space with water and electricity. Ideal for bicycles, tools, or as extra storage space. Behind the garage is a second bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet, convenient for guests, athletic teenagers, or after an afternoon of gardening. Above the garage is a fully-fledged extra room with air conditioning. Light, spacious, and surprisingly comfortable. Perfect as a guest room, study, or private domain for an older child seeking a little more privacy. In combination with the bathroom downstairs, this wing forms an independent, flexible living space ideal for guests or growing children who like to have their own space. The garden also features a stylish, heated garden shed, a delightful space that lends itself to countless uses. An art studio, inspiring workspace, hobby room, or cozy lounge for relaxing surrounded by greenery. Thanks to the heating, it is a pleasant place to be not only in summer, but all year round. First floor The landing feels light and spacious, with sightlines down through the loft. From here you can access three bedrooms, a separate laundry room, a separate toilet, and the central bathroom. The master bedroom is a place to unwind, spacious in design, with large windows, a view of the garden, and air conditioning. Behind a subtle passageway is a walk-in closet with plenty of storage space, a luxurious and practical addition that provides organization and serenity. The bathroom, centrally located on the floor, is modern and comfortably furnished with a walk-in shower, double sink, and bathtub. Thanks to its layout, the bathroom is easily accessible from all bedrooms, ideal for families or guests. The two other bedrooms are also spacious and bright, with enough room for a double bed, desk, or wardrobe. They can be flexibly arranged as a children's room, study, or guest room. The large windows provide plenty of daylight, and the view of the quiet avenue emphasizes the feeling of living in a green, pleasant neighborhood. Above this floor is a spacious storage loft, accessible via a loft ladder, perfect for suitcases, seasonal items, or decorations that you want to keep neatly out of sight. Outdoor living with a capital O As soon as you open the double doors, you step into a world of peace and greenery. The garden—with an area of approximately 450 m²—faces southeast and is bathed in sunlight from early morning until late afternoon. Here, the light moves with you: breakfast in the morning sun, lunch on the hardwood terrace under the canopy with electric heating, and ending the evening as the garden slowly turns golden. The planting is mature and carefully composed, giving the garden complete privacy without losing its open character. Various terraces and corners have been created throughout: a place to lounge with a book, eat with friends, or watch the children play on the lawn. The garden feels large, yet intimate and secure. Further back in the garden is the heated garden house, which makes the outdoor space even more versatile. Whether you use it as a studio, hobby room, home office, or creative retreat, this is a place you can enjoy all year round. At the front of the villa is a wide driveway with parking for several cars and an electric charging point.
