Modern Energy-Efficient Terraced Home with Private Parking in Waddinxveen
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A+++ with ground source heat pump provides gasless living with very low energy costs and potential for higher mortgage borrowing capacity up to 25,000 euros extra.
- Two private parking spaces are included, which is a valuable feature in Dutch residential areas where parking can be difficult.
- Built in 2023 means the property is virtually new with modern finishes, underfloor heating and cooling on both floors, and everything is in excellent condition without renovation needed.
- The VvE contribution is relatively low at 36 euros per month, covering only parking and common area maintenance rather than major building costs.
- The spacious living room of 51 square meters with a wide sliding door to the garden creates a bright and practical living space.
Downsides
- Only two official bedrooms are counted in the living area, as the attic is accessed via a pull-down staircase and does not currently qualify as living space without installing a fixed staircase.
- The garden faces northwest, which means less direct sunlight compared to south-facing gardens, particularly during morning and early afternoon hours.
- One of the cadastral parcels has shared ownership (mandelig) status, which introduces some complexity regarding the property boundaries and shared responsibilities.
- The price per square meter at 5,088 euros is relatively high for Waddinxveen, which may limit the property's appeal for budget-conscious buyers.
- The attic space, while usable, requires an investment to convert into official living space if a third bedroom is needed.
Description
This modern terraced house was built in 2023 and is located in a newly developed residential area in Waddinxveen. The property has a total living area of 113 square meters, with an additional 12 square meters of indoor storage space and an 8 square meter external storage shed in the garden. The plot covers 135 square meters, with the rear garden measuring 59 square meters at a depth of 10.26 meters and a width of 5.71 meters.
The ground floor features an entrance hall with a meter cupboard and a modern toilet. The living space extends across the full depth of the property. At the front of the house is the kitchen, which has a straight layout providing ample workspace and cabinet storage. The kitchen includes all built-in appliances and receives natural light through a window facing the street. The kitchen area connects seamlessly to a dining area.
The living room at the rear of the ground floor measures approximately 51 square meters. This space can accommodate both a sizable seating area and a large dining table. A wide sliding door opens to the garden, creating a direct connection between indoor and outdoor living. The entire ground floor has a PVC floor finish.
The first floor contains an landing with access to two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. The main bedroom features a high roof construction and wide windows providing good natural light. This room offers space for a large bed, a wardrobe wall, and potentially a work or reading corner. The second bedroom is suitable as a children's room, guest room, home office, or storage room. Both bedrooms are equipped with electric roller shutters.
The bathroom is finished with large grey wall and floor tiles. It includes a walk-in shower with a glass partition, a vanity unit, a designer radiator, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. A skylight provides natural light and ventilation options. The separate toilet on this floor adds practical convenience for household use.
The attic floor is accessible via a pull-down staircase. Due to the ridge height and daylight from a skylight, this space can serve as more than just storage. It is suitable for a home office, hobby room, guest accommodation, or play area. The sloping roof also offers useful storage options for items not needed daily. It should be noted that the attic is currently not included in the official living area measurement. Creating a fixed staircase would make this a full living space that would count toward the total living area.
The rear garden faces northwest and is designed for low maintenance with a combination of paving and planting. At the back of the garden is a wooden shed and a seating area. Due to the orientation, the garden receives sunlight from the afternoon through the evening hours.
The property has an energy label A+++ and features a ground source heat pump, meaning the home operates without natural gas. Both floors have underfloor heating and cooling. A heat recovery ventilation unit is installed. The roof is a composite structure covered with tiles.
The property includes two private parking spaces. There is a monthly VvE contribution of approximately 36 euros for the parking spaces and maintenance of the inner courtyard area.
The cadastral registration shows two parcels: WADDINXVEEN E 3639 covering 135 square meters with full ownership, and WADDINXVEEN E 3626 covering 73 square meters with shared ownership (mandelig).
The property is located in a young residential neighborhood in Waddinxveen, characterized primarily by new construction and a quiet, child-friendly layout. Play facilities and green spaces are available in the immediate vicinity. Daily shopping and schools are reachable within minutes. Exit roads toward Gouda, Zoetermeer, and Rotterdam are a short distance away, making the property suitable for commuters.
The asking price is 575,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,088 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and transfer is negotiable. The home is partially furnished. Facilities include balanced ventilation, skylights, fiber optic cable, a sliding door, and TV cable connections. The total volume of the property is 469 cubic meters. The property has two toilet facilities in total: one on the ground floor and one on the first floor.
