Detached Living by the Water; Space, Peace and Endless Possibilities! Living by the water, with your own boat at the doorstep and plenty of space to create your dream home. This spacious detached house of approximately 204 m² is located in a beautiful spot along a city canal in the popular Filmwijk district of Almere. With a self-contained apartment on the ground floor, a green garden directly on the water, and all amenities within easy reach, this property offers a unique combination of space, comfort and possibilities. The house has been well maintained and offers excellent opportunities to modernize it entirely to your own taste. Thanks to the generous living area, the waterfront location, and the additional living space on the ground floor, this is an exceptionally flexible home, ideal for lifetime living, informal care (mantelzorg), or multigenerational living (kangaroo living). The property is situated in a small-scale villa neighborhood in Filmwijk, a spacious and green area that is popular due to its central location. Primary and secondary schools, shops, Almere Centrum train station, and the A6 and A27 highways are all nearby. Recreational areas are also close by, including Lumièrepark, Weerwater, and a small beach within short distance. Additionally, a direct bus connection to Almere Centrum station is located just a three-minute walk away. The property is offered with a “bidding from” price. Layout; Ground Floor: In 2012, a new entrance, an extension, and a renovation of the original garage were completed. From the entrance, both the main house and the additional living space can be accessed. The extension created a self-contained living area with a living room, bedroom, and en-suite bathroom. This space features electric underfloor heating, HR++ glazing, plastic window frames, and sliding doors to the backyard, making it very suitable for lifetime living, people with reduced mobility, or a live-in family member. The hallway of the main house provides access to the toilet, meter cupboard, staircase to the first floor, and the living room. The cozy living room is located at the front of the house and features a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and atmosphere. At the rear of the house is the spacious kitchen-diner, adjacent to the extension. Large windows provide a beautiful view of the green backyard and the water. The kitchen is arranged in a light-colored corner layout and equipped with built-in appliances such as a dishwasher, combi microwave, ceramic cooktop, extractor hood, and a double sink, along with ample cupboard space. Double French doors in the extension open to the backyard. First Floor: Originally, the first floor consisted of three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a storage room, but it is currently arranged with: One spacious front bedroom of approximately 23 m² A very large bathroom of approximately 17 m² A practical laundry room with storage space and a door leading to the roof of the extension (useful for maintenance) The bathroom is fully tiled to the ceiling and equipped with a bathtub, two sinks, and a toilet. The large bedroom spans the entire width of the house and can easily be divided into two separate bedrooms again. The laundry room, located under the sloping roof, offers plenty of storage space and contains the connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as the inverter for the solar panels. Second Floor: The spacious attic floor is divided into two areas: A bedroom at the rear A large multifunctional space at the front This area can easily be converted into an additional bedroom, workspace, or hobby room. Garden: The backyard faces northwest, but due to the generous size of the garden there is always a place to enjoy either the sun or shade. The garden borders directly on the water, where you can moor your own boat.
