Description
Located on the outer edge of the Horsterveld area in Zeewolde, this spacious corner house offers a comfortable living environment built in 2003. The property stands on a generous plot of 291 square meters of freehold land, providing ample outdoor space for various activities and garden layouts.
The ground floor welcomes residents with a bright and spacious entrance hall that immediately gives an impression of the home's generous proportions. The entrance features a hanging toilet that was renewed in 2023, a meter cupboard for utilities, and a light staircase that offers an appealing visual connection through the void all the way to the second floor. This architectural detail adds a sense of openness and spatial awareness to the home.
The street-facing modern open kitchen was completely replaced in 2024 and represents a contemporary culinary space. It comes equipped with a comprehensive set of built-in appliances, including a refrigerator and freezer combination, an induction cooktop, a hot air oven, a combination microwave, and a dishwasher. The kitchen features a composite worktop that provides a durable and attractive food preparation surface. From the kitchen, there is a direct connection to the side room, which benefits from a sliding door providing access to the backyard.
The living room was extended during the original construction phase by 2.4 meters, and together with the adjacent side room, creates an impressive amount of living space on the ground floor. The living room is garden-oriented, allowing residents to enjoy views of the outdoor area, and features its own sliding door that opens directly onto the garden terrace. This layout effectively connects the interior living spaces with the outdoor environment, making the home particularly suitable for those who enjoy indoor-outdoor living during the warmer months. The ground floor is finished with a laminate floor throughout.
Moving to the first floor, the landing provides access to three key spaces. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the property and spans the full width of the house, offering substantial floor space for bedroom furniture and personal belongings. A second bedroom is located at the rear of the property, also providing comfortable accommodation. The modern bathroom was installed in 2023 and is fully tiled from floor to ceiling, creating a clean and contemporary appearance. It features a shower corner, a wide washbasin cabinet, and a second toilet, making it a complete and practical bathroom space. The first floor also has laminate flooring throughout.
The second floor is configured as a spacious attic level that houses a third bedroom, making the home suitable for families or those requiring a home office space. This floor also contains the practical installations of the property, including the position of the central heating boiler, the washing machine connection, and the heat recovery system that was installed in 2025. Behind the knee walls, there is considerable storage space that can be used for seasonal items, luggage, and other belongings that need to be stored away from the main living areas.
The outdoor space of this property is a notable feature. The garden faces southwest, which guarantees sunlight throughout a significant portion of the day during the summer months. The plot includes a front garden, side garden, and backyard, with the backyard measuring 94 square meters with dimensions of 8.75 meters in depth and 10.70 meters in width. This configuration allows for multiple seating areas and different zones within the garden. At the rear of the garden, there is a detached wooden shed that has an electricity connection, providing secure storage for garden equipment, bicycles, or other items. The garden is accessible via a back entrance, which is a practical feature for accessing the shed without having to go through the house.
The property has undergone several recent improvements that enhance its appeal and reduce the likelihood of immediate maintenance requirements. The toilet and bathroom were replaced in 2023, the staircase covering was updated in 2023, the kitchen was replaced in 2024, and a new heat recovery system was installed in 2025. The exterior painting was carried out in 2026, ensuring the outside of the property presents well.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label A rating. The insulation measures include roof insulation, double glazing, HR glazing, wall insulation, floor insulation, and the property is described as fully insulated. The heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, specifically an Intergas boiler that is gas-fired and dates from 2016. This boiler is owned rather than rented, which avoids ongoing rental costs. The property also features a balanced ventilation system, which contributes to good indoor air quality while minimizing heat loss.
The technical specifications of the property include a living area of 140 square meters, an external storage area of 8 square meters, and a total volume of 509 cubic meters. The roof is a pent roof covered with tiles. The property has three living levels and is categorized as a single-family corner house.
The location within a residential area offers a living environment that is typical of suburban developments in the Netherlands. The listing mentions a free view, which suggests that the corner position provides some openness compared to properties situated in the middle of a terrace block.
Parking at the property is available through public on-street parking, which is common in residential areas of this type. There is no private parking or garage included with the property.
The property is available for purchase at an asking price of 500,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,571 euros per square meter of living space. The transfer is subject to consultation regarding the acceptance date, providing some flexibility for both buyers and sellers in coordinating the move.
