Fully renovated terraced house with split-level layout, roof terrace and parking in De Leyens, Zoetermeer
Key Features
Description
This fully renovated, spacious terraced house is situated on Medeaschouw in the popular residential district De Leyens in Zoetermeer, Schouwenbuurt-Noord. Originally built in 1978, the property has undergone extensive modernization over recent years, resulting in a move-in ready family home with an excellent energy rating. The asking price is €500,000 kosten koper, which means the buyer is responsible for transfer tax and notarial costs in addition to the purchase price.
The house offers approximately 124 square meters of living space spread across three floors plus a loft, all arranged in a playful split-level configuration that adds character and spatial variety to the interior. The property sits on a compact plot of 105 square meters, which is relatively small for a single-family home in the Netherlands. The building features a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing and tiles.
One of the most notable practical features of this property is the covered private parking space under the carport, which can accommodate one vehicle. This is a significant advantage in an area where street parking may be limited. Additionally, a parking dispensation for the blue zone is available through the municipality for a modest annual fee.
The entrance leads into a hall that provides access to an internal storage room and the stairs ascending to the main living floor. The hall also houses the modern meter cupboard, which has been upgraded to 12 electrical groups and includes a fiber optic internet connection. A cupboard in the hall accommodates the washing machine and dryer.
The main living floor features a garden-oriented living room finished with a beautiful PVC loose-lay floor. Large window sections ensure abundant natural light throughout the day. The living room gives access to the backyard through contemporary plastic sliding doors. The rear garden was entirely re-landscaped in 2020 and features stylish large-format tiles, a pergola, and planted borders. Practical features include an outdoor tap and a garden storage shed. The garden measures approximately 35 square meters and has a depth of about 7 meters with a width of approximately 5 meters. The garden's orientation is southeast, which means good sunlight exposure during most of the day.
A short flight of steps from the living room leads down to the toilet area and the open-plan kitchen. The kitchen is modern, having been fitted in 2018, and is equipped with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances including a five-burner gas hob, extractor hood, refrigerator, freezer with four drawers, dishwasher, a Quooker instant hot water tap with a 7-liter capacity, a combination microwave oven, and a steam oven. From the kitchen, there is access to a spacious tiled terrace of approximately 16 square meters with a western exposure. This terrace is equipped with an outdoor tap and external sun blinds, making it an ideal spot for outdoor dining and relaxation in the afternoon and evening sun. The pergola in the garden provides additional shading options during warmer months.
The first sleeping floor is reached via another staircase from the hall. This floor contains the generous master bedroom of approximately 20 square meters, originally configured as two separate bedrooms. The room features a PVC floor, a custom-designed radiator cover, and a built-in wardrobe. The high-quality bathroom was completely renewed in 2022 and includes a corner bath, a walk-in shower with a rain shower head, a vanity unit with sink, and a wall-mounted toilet.
The second sleeping level is reached via a half-level staircase and provides access to a second spacious bedroom and the bathroom. The third sleeping level is home to the third bedroom, which benefits from a newly installed dormer window that spans the full width of the house. This room offers flexibility because it can potentially be divided into two separate rooms, creating an additional bedroom if desired. From the landing on this floor, there is access to a spacious storage loft that also houses the central heating boiler.
The central heating system is a ProLine NxT HRC 30/CW5 combination boiler that runs on natural gas and was installed in 2022. The property is equipped with six solar panels installed in 2022, which contribute to reduced energy consumption and lower utility bills. Together with the roof insulation, HR++ glazing on the rear elevation, and the recently installed appliances and boiler, the house achieves an A energy label, placing it among the most energy-efficient properties on the market.
The rear elevation features plastic window frames with HR++ insulating glass, installed in 2019. The facade is finished with Keralit cladding, also installed in 2019. The front elevation was painted in 2026. A new roof dormer was constructed in 2023.
The total indoor storage space measures approximately 10 square meters, comprising the internal storage room accessible from the entrance hall and the loft storage area on the third floor. The building-bound outdoor space totals approximately 44 square meters and includes the balcony or roof terrace area.
The property is located in a quiet and car-reduced part of the De Leyens neighborhood, which is a well-regarded residential area in Zoetermeer. The central shopping district, Stadshart, and the recreational area Noord Aa are within easy reach on foot or by bicycle. The neighborhood also offers proximity to a district park, a shopping center, multiple schools, and various access roads that connect to the broader regional road network. Zoetermeer is well-connected to The Hague and surrounding cities through public transport, including the RandstadRail light rail system.
The building is registered in the land registry under cadastral reference ZOETERMEER C 2460, with a plot area of 105 square meters and full ownership status. Transfer tax and notarial costs associated with the purchase are for the account of the buyer. An old-age and materials clause will be included in the purchase agreement as standard practice for properties from this construction period, reflecting the age of the building and the materials used at the time of original construction. Ownership transfer will take place at a notary chosen by the buyer. The delivery date is to be determined by mutual agreement.
In summary, this property offers a compelling combination of modern renovations and upgrades, a convenient location with parking and good accessibility, and the benefits of an A energy label. The split-level layout provides distinct living zones, while the multiple bedrooms and flexible third-floor room offer adaptability for different household compositions and needs.
