Spacious semi-detached home with garage in quiet Zevenhoven
Key Features
Description
This semi-detached residence is located at Hertog Albrechtstraat 84 in the village of Zevenhoven. The property was built in 2009 and has been occupied since 2012. The home offers a living area of 190 square meters situated on a plot of 185 square meters. The asking price is 695,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,658 euros per square meter of living space.
The property is situated on a quiet residential street known as a woonerf, meaning there is no through traffic directly in front of the home. Instead, residents benefit from a small square with parking spaces. From this location, one can quickly drive out of the village toward main roads, while the village center of Zevenhoven lies just a short distance away in the opposite direction.
Zevenhoven is a rural village within the municipality of Nieuwkoop, recognized for its natural and water-rich surroundings. The village provides basic amenities including a supermarket with an attached bakery for daily groceries. Additionally, there is a medical square with a general practitioner and dentist, various sports clubs, a relatively new primary school with after-school care facilities, and a local café. For more extensive shopping options, residents typically visit nearby towns such as Nieuwkoop, Nieuwveen, Ter Aar, or Alphen aan den Rijn. The combination of a peaceful rural setting with proximity to the major cities of the Randstad region makes this location particularly attractive. Schiphol Airport is also easily accessible from this area.
The ground floor features a covered entrance leading into a hall that contains the meter cupboard, a spacious wardrobe closet, the staircase to the upper floors, and a modernly finished toilet room equipped with a toilet and a small basin.
The living room is oriented toward the garden and was extended across the full width of the property during the original construction. The walls are finished with glass fiber wallpaper and the floor is covered with high-quality laminate. The room has a sliding patio door and an additional window that provide views of and access to the backyard.
The open kitchen is positioned on the side facing the woonerf. It features a modern kitchen unit in a corner layout with light-colored cabinet fronts and a wood-look countertop. The kitchen comes with a comprehensive set of built-in appliances including a five-burner gas cooktop with a wok burner, a stainless steel extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a separate freestanding kitchen unit housing a refrigerator, freezer, and oven. From behind the countertop, there is a window offering a pleasant view over the woonerf. The living room receives good natural light thanks to the window in the side wall and the large window and sliding door at the garden side.
The front garden is laid out with gravel and a path leading to the front door. The backyard is primarily paved with decorative stones and includes two fixed planters. The garden connects to a shared square that provides access to the garages. Although the backyard faces north, it receives sunlight throughout the day during the summer months due to the surrounding open space and low-rise buildings.
The first floor is accessed via a spacious landing that leads to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The largest bedroom is located at the rear of the property and spans the entire width of the house. This room includes a walk-in closet created by a partition wall. The two other bedrooms are situated at the front and also offer good dimensions. All three bedrooms feature laminate flooring with a wood grain pattern and walls finished with a combination of glass fiber wallpaper and decorative wallpaper.
The bathroom is fully integrated within the house and luxuriously finished with large tiles. It includes a bathtub, a shower corner with a thermostatic faucet featuring both a hand shower and a rain showerhead, a built-in seat, a double sink vanity, and a wall-mounted toilet. The combination of dark tiles with light accent tiles gives the bathroom an elegant appearance.
The second floor is not merely an attic space but functions as a fully usable living level. Thanks to the notable ceiling height and floor area, the current owner has created two separate rooms on this floor. Both sides feature two sizable dormer windows with plastic frames. Each room has a large window, and the bedroom at the rear even has a storage attic accessible via a folding ladder.
The front section of this floor serves as a utility area with storage space under the sloping roof sections, the placement of the central heating boiler, the mechanical ventilation unit, and space for laundry appliances.
The garage is located behind the property and is accessible from the garden via the shared square. With internal dimensions of 7 by 3.75 meters, it is larger than a standard garage. The garage is equipped with a steel tilt-up door and has an electrical connection.
The property has an energy label A rating and is fully insulated. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from the brand Intergas, which was installed in 2008 and is owned by the current owner.
According to the cadastral data, the property consists of multiple parcels. Two parcels with a combined area of 185 square meters are held in full ownership, while two additional parcels totaling 275 square meters are held as shared (mandelig) property. The shared parcels likely relate to the access road, the parking square, and possibly parts of the garden area.
The home is described as move-in ready, with the kitchen and bathroom having been installed in 2012. The asking price is 695,000 euros buyer's costs (kosten koper), meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees. The listing agent notes that a bank guarantee or deposit of at least ten percent of the purchase price is required.
