Modern Energy-Neutral Terraced House with Four Bedrooms in Zoetermeer

This fully modernized terraced house is located at Graaf Janstraat 221 in the Driemanspolder-Zuid district of Zoetermeer. The property is offered at a price of 550,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). Built in 1973, this home has been completely renovated and upgraded to meet contemporary standards of comfort and sustainability.

The living area measures 154 square meters, which is spread across three floors. The total plot size is 109 square meters, and the property has a volume of 516 cubic meters. Additionally, there is an external storage space of 14 square meters in the form of a free-standing wooden shed in the backyard.

One of the most notable features of this property is its exceptional energy efficiency. The home holds an A++++ energy label and operates as a zero-on-the-meter residence. This means that on an annual basis, the house generates as much energy as it consumes. The property has no gas connection and runs entirely on electricity. Energy generation is handled by solar panels installed in 2019, which are owned by the property rather than leased. A home battery system is connected to these solar panels, allowing for storage of excess energy. Heating is provided by a heat pump system, supplemented by floor and wall heating throughout the home. A heat recovery ventilation (WTW) installation ensures efficient air circulation while retaining heat.

The insulation of the property has been fully addressed, with insulation applied to the roof, walls, and floors. Double glazing has been installed throughout. These measures contribute to the excellent energy performance and ensure a comfortable indoor climate year-round.

The ground floor of the property features an entrance hall with a wardrobe area, meter cupboard, and staircase. A distinctive aspect of the layout is the presence of two doors from the hall. One door provides access to the main ground floor area, while the second door leads directly to the staircase serving the first and second floors. This configuration creates the possibility of partially separating the living spaces, which could be particularly useful for households with an older child, a student, or a family member requiring care who needs their own private area within the home.

Also located on the ground floor is the first bathroom, which is fitted with a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with washbasin, and a toilet. This arrangement provides practical convenience for residents and guests.

The first floor houses the kitchen at the front of the property. The kitchen has a modern finish and is equipped with various built-in appliances. At the rear of this floor is the living room, which benefits from large windows that provide ample natural light and a pleasant view of the surroundings. The living room offers sufficient space for a comfortable seating arrangement.

The second floor, or attic floor, contains two well-proportioned bedrooms. Additionally, a second bathroom is located on this level, enhancing the convenience for families or guests. This second bathroom is equipped with a shower, a toilet, a washbasin, and a vanity unit.

In total, the property has six rooms, of which four are designated as bedrooms. There are two full bathrooms and one separate toilet, meaning there are two shower facilities and two toilet facilities in the home.

The outdoor space includes both a front garden and a rear garden. The rear garden has a surface area of 59 square meters, with dimensions of 10.90 meters in depth and 5.42 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the south, ensuring it receives sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. According to the listing, the front of the property receives morning sun, while the sun moves to the rear garden during the afternoon. At the back of the garden stands a practical wooden shed measuring four by four meters.

The property is situated on a quiet road in a residential neighborhood. The immediate surroundings are described as green and offer a balance between tranquility and liveliness, making the area suitable for both first-time buyers and families.

Daily amenities are available within a short distance, including various shops and supermarkets. The Stadshart of Zoetermeer, the main shopping center, is also nearby and offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. Schools, childcare facilities, and sports amenities are well represented in the area.
