Your new home at Citroenvlinder 13 in Diemen! Located in the quiet and child-friendly “Vlinderbuurt” in Diemen, we are proud to offer this bright, well-maintained, and spacious 5-room family home for sale! This lovely house offers 124m² of living space, 4 good-sized bedrooms, a neat kitchen, a modern bathroom, and both a generous backyard and a rooftop terrace facing northwest. A double dose of outdoor enjoyment! In short: a charming home well worth a viewing! WORDS FROM THE CURRENT OWNERS: ''In 1994, we became the owners of our first home. It was a townhouse in Diemen-Noord. Before that, we had lived for several years in De Pijp and in Holendrecht. First as a couple, later with two young children. In July 1995, we moved to Diemen-Noord, to the Vlindertuin. It was a neighbourhood full of young families and close to the city. Thanks in part to our two children, we quickly connected with new neighbours. Our third child was born in this house. We lived in our home for over thirty years with great pleasure. It was spacious enough for the five of us, with all imaginable amenities (schools, shops, and public transport), and of course the city of Amsterdam, nearby. Now that the children have left the house, and as we approach retirement, we are ready for a new chapter: we will be moving to an apartment in Holland Park. We hope that our home, which we will soon be leaving, will become a wonderful place for its new residents—and that they will enjoy living there as much as we have done all these years.'' LAYOUT: You enter the property via your private front garden/driveway, convenient for parking on your own land. Upon entry, you'll find the fuse box (equipped with multiple circuits and a residual current device). The adjacent toilet features modern tiling, a wall-mounted toilet, and a small sink. The living room is bright and spacious, thanks in part to the rear extension. It’s a cozy spot to relax and unwind. The built-in fireplace adds warmth and charm during colder days. The floor is finished with wood and the walls are neatly maintained. A sliding door gives you access to the backyard, and a handy storage closet under the stairs offers plenty of space. At the front of the house is the open kitchen, equipped with every convenience: a refrigerator, separate freezer, dishwasher, 6-burner gas stove with extractor, oven, separate microwave, sink with mixer tap, and various drawers and cabinets for storage. A large window offers a pleasant street view and brings in lots of natural light. Up the stairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and the bathroom. The first (and largest) bedroom is at the front, featuring a large window for ample daylight and a street view. The second bedroom, located at the rear, is also generously sized, ideal as a master bedroom and offers access to the balcony through French doors. A great place to relax! The third bedroom is also at the back and is the smallest of the three, perfect for a single bed and still pleasantly bright thanks to its window. The bathroom is spacious and modern, with stylish tiling, a walk-in shower with a thermostatic mixer, a second wall-mounted toilet, a sink with vanity drawers, a mirror with lighting, and a designer radiator for your towels. Naturally, there’s also a window for daylight and ventilation. A fixed open staircase leads to the second floor. Here, you’ll find the landing with connections for a washing machine and dryer, along with the central heating boiler and mechanical ventilation unit. The fourth bedroom is extremely spacious due to the large rear dormer and is filled with natural light. Built-in knee walls provide extra storage. Want to create two separate (bed)rooms here? That’s definitely an option. PROPERTY OWNERSHIP: The house sits on 131 m² of freehold plot, so no leasehold issues!
