Eye-catching Family Home in Popular Rokkeveen with Sunny Southwest Garden
Key Features
Description
The property is a well-maintained family home located on Paletsingel in the Blauwenbuurt neighborhood of Zoetermeer. This terraced house is situated in the popular Rokkeveen district and features a sunny southwest-facing backyard. The home offers approximately 99 square meters of living space on a plot of 125 square meters of freehold land.
Built in 1989, this property has been well maintained and is ready to move into without requiring major investments. All window frames are made of maintenance-free plastic, which means the current and future owners do not need to worry about painting or other regular maintenance tasks associated with wooden frames.
The ground floor features an entrance hall that provides access to the toilet room, meter cupboard, stairs to the first floor, and the living room. The spacious living room is garden-oriented and equipped with French doors and large windows at the rear, allowing for abundant natural light. The kitchen is U-shaped and located at the front of the house, equipped with built-in appliances. A list of these appliances can be requested from the selling NVM broker.
The backyard is approximately 11 meters deep and faces southwest, which means residents can enjoy the sun until sunset. The garden has been nicely landscaped and features a back entrance that provides access to a freestanding stone storage shed with electricity.
The first floor has a landing that gives access to two or three bedrooms and the bathroom. The main bedroom has been merged to span the full width of the house, which offers the possibility to create a fourth bedroom if desired. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, washbasin, and a second toilet.
The second floor features a spacious front landing and landing area with the laundry and heating room. There is a full third or fourth bedroom with a large dormer window, providing plenty of headroom and natural light.
The property has an energy label A, which is partly achieved through the installation of 12 solar panels. The home is fully insulated with roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant Ecotec Classic combi boiler that was installed in 2023 and is owned by the current owners.
The Rokkeveen district is known as a child-friendly residential area with a quiet atmosphere. The property is conveniently located near shopping center De Vlieger, shopping center Rokkeveen, a health center, primary schools, sports facilities, and the Burgemeester Hoekstra district park. Public transportation is easily accessible with bus stops and Zoetermeer-Oost station nearby. The A12 and N470 highways provide quick access to Delft and Rotterdam.
The property features outdoor sun blinds, mechanical ventilation, TV cable connection, and the solar panels. Parking is available on public roads in the area. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles.
With four rooms in total including three bedrooms, this home offers flexible living space that can be adapted to the needs of its occupants. The option to split the wide master bedroom back into two separate rooms provides additional flexibility for families who may need a fourth bedroom.
The internal layout of the home follows a logical and practical flow that is typical for Dutch terraced houses of this era. The ground floor places the living areas at the rear where they can benefit from the garden view and natural light, while the kitchen is positioned at the front. This arrangement works well for families who spend most of their time in the living room and garden during the warmer months.
The decision by the current owners to merge two bedrooms into one large master bedroom demonstrates the flexibility of the floor plan. Buyers who prefer four smaller bedrooms can easily reinstate the wall to separate the spaces. This adaptability makes the property suitable for various household compositions, from couples wanting a spacious master suite to families needing maximum bedroom count.
The second floor with its dormer window has been properly finished to create a full bedroom rather than just storage space. This effectively gives the home three full living floors, even though it is officially described as having two living floors and an attic. The presence of the laundry and heating installations on this floor is standard for this type of property and does not significantly reduce the usable bedroom space.
The external storage shed is a practical addition that provides space for bicycles, garden equipment, and other items that homeowners prefer not to store indoors. The fact that it has electricity means it can potentially be used for more purposes, such as a small workshop or hobby space.
The garden depth of 11 meters is generous for a terraced house in the Netherlands. Combined with the southwest orientation, this creates an outdoor space that can be used extensively from spring through autumn. The presence of a back entrance is an important feature in Dutch residential areas as it allows access to the garden without having to go through the house, which is particularly useful when doing gardening work or moving items to and from the storage shed.
The mechanical ventilation system ensures good air quality throughout the home without the need to open windows, which is beneficial for both comfort and energy efficiency. Combined with the full insulation package and solar panels, this property demonstrates attention to energy performance that will benefit future owners through lower energy bills.
The 2023 Vaillant combi boiler is a modern, efficient unit that should provide reliable heating and hot water for many years to come. The fact that it is owned rather than rented means there are no ongoing monthly rental fees associated with this essential system.
The total volume of the property is 350 cubic meters. The external storage space measures 5 square meters, referring to the freestanding stone shed in the garden. The property consists of two main living floors plus an attic floor with a loft space.
The cadastral designation is ZEGWAARD D 1539, and the property situation is full ownership, meaning the land is owned outright rather than being leasehold.
This property would likely appeal to first-time buyers, young families, or downsizers looking for a manageable home in a convenient location. The maintenance-free exterior and modern systems reduce the workload and unexpected costs that can come with older properties. The established neighborhood with its amenities and good transport links adds to the practical appeal of this home. Acceptance of the property is in consultation, meaning the exact moving date can be discussed with the seller.
