Modern 3-room apartment with private parking and west-facing balcony in Zoetermeer

This modern three-room apartment is situated in the Driemanspolder district of Zoetermeer, specifically in the Stationsbuurt-Noord neighborhood. The property is located at Kinderen van Versteegplein and occupies the first floor of an apartment complex built in 1981. Despite its original construction year, the apartment has been carefully maintained and substantially renovated in 2024, bringing it up to contemporary standards.

The apartment offers a total living area of 60 square meters, complemented by a building-bound outdoor space of 5 square meters in the form of a west-facing balcony. Additionally, there is an external storage unit of 6 square meters located in the basement of the complex. The total volume of the apartment measures 189 cubic meters.

Upon entering the complex, residents have access to a central entrance equipped with a video intercom system, mailboxes, a lift, and a staircase. The lift provides convenient access to the first floor where the apartment is located, making the property accessible for elderly residents. The basement level houses the private storage box belonging to the apartment.

The internal layout of the apartment begins with an entrance hall that contains the meter cupboard and a separate toilet room fitted with a washbasin. This hallway is spacious and provides access to all rooms within the apartment. From the hall, one enters the bright and generously proportioned living room. The living area benefits from abundant natural light thanks to the large window installations. The open kitchen is integrated into the living space and comes equipped with various built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven, dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. There is also ample storage space within the kitchen area.

The main bedroom is accessible directly from the living room. This is described as a full-sized bedroom suitable for comfortable use. The second room, also accessible from the hallway, currently serves as a bedroom but offers flexibility to be used as a home office, dressing room, or hobby space depending on the needs of the occupant.

The bathroom is neatly finished and features a bathtub with shower attachment, a washbasin vanity unit, a mirror, a radiator, and connections for both a washing machine and a dryer. This practical arrangement allows for laundry facilities to be concealed within the bathroom space.

The outdoor space consists of a sunny balcony situated on the west side of the building, accessible from the main bedroom. This orientation means the balcony receives afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant spot to relax. The balcony also offers unobstructed views and overlooks the green surroundings of the area.

One notable feature of this property is the inclusion of a private parking space located directly adjacent to the apartment complex. This is a significant advantage in urban areas where parking can often be challenging to find.

The apartment has an energy label C, which is valid until March 2027. The property features partly plastic window frames with HR+++ glazing, contributing to better insulation. The heating system operates on block heating, and hot water is provided through a central facility. The monthly advance for heating costs is set at 150 euros.

The property is part of an active Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren). The monthly VvE contribution amounts to 329.75 euros, which covers both the apartment and the storage unit. It should be noted that the VvE checklist indicates that the association is not registered with the Chamber of Commerce, does not hold annual meetings, does not collect periodic contributions beyond the monthly fee, has no reserve fund, has no maintenance plan, and has no building insurance. These points may warrant further investigation by potential buyers.

The location of the apartment complex is described as both central and peaceful. The surrounding area is characterized by its green spaces and spacious layout. Within the immediate vicinity, residents have access to various shops, schools, healthcare facilities, sports clubs, recreational areas, public transportation, and major roads. The Stadshart shopping center and Prinses Arianepark are both within walking distance, adding to the convenience of the location.

The apartment is offered at an asking price of 250,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,167 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for transfer by mutual agreement. The legal ownership situation is full ownership (volle eigendom), and the property is registered in the land registry under Zoetermeer section E, number 2951.

This apartment presents itself as a move-in ready home that has been updated in 2024, situated in a desirable location with good amenities and the practical benefit of included parking. The combination of a renovated interior, private outdoor space, and convenient location makes this property suitable for various types of buyers, from first-time homeowners to those looking to downsize.
