Key Features
Upsides
- The property is located in Berkum, one of Zwolle's most popular residential areas, offering a green and peaceful environment with excellent amenities nearby.
- With four bedrooms across three floors, the house provides generous living space suitable for families, with the additional benefit of a garage for storage or parking.

Description
Welcome to this charming semi-detached residence situated at Pieter Zeemanlaan 49 in the sought-after neighborhood of Berkum, Zwolle. Built in 1969, this well-maintained property offers generous living space across three floors, with a total living area of 121 square meters. The house sits on a substantial 247 square meter plot of private land and includes an attached stone garage measuring 19 square meters, as well as a freestanding storage shed.
The ground floor features a welcoming entrance hall with meter cupboard, toilet room with sink, staircase, and access to the living room. The living room is delightfully bright thanks to large windows on both the front and back of the house. A cozy fireplace serves as a focal point, adding warmth and ambiance to the space. There is ample room for a comfortable seating area and a generous dining area. From the living room, you can enjoy views of both the front and back gardens. The closed kitchen is located at the rear of the house and was installed in 2005, featuring floor heating. This Siematic kitchen comes equipped with various built-in appliances and offers plenty of workspace and storage. The back garden is accessible from the kitchen. A practical storage cellar is accessible from the hall, ideal for storing supplies, tools, or other items, adding to the already abundant storage space in the home.
The first floor accommodates three bedrooms and a bathroom. The spacious bedroom at the back has access to a balcony overlooking the garden. The other bedrooms are also of good size and suitable for children, work, or guest rooms. All bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes. The bathroom was renovated in 2016 and includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, vanity unit, and second toilet. Additionally, the bathroom has electric floor heating. A fixed staircase from the landing leads to the second floor.
The second floor features a spacious landing and a full fourth bedroom with plenty of natural light thanks to a dormer window. Extra storage space is available behind the knee walls. This floor is excellently suited for use as a bedroom, home office, hobby room, or guest room.
The property benefits from an attached stone garage of approximately 19 square meters, accessible from both the driveway and the garden, offering plenty of room for bicycles, storage, or hobby activities.
The outdoors includes a well-maintained front garden facing south and a spacious back garden facing north. Thanks to the depth of the garden and various seating options, there is always a pleasant spot in either sun or shade. Green garden boundaries provide plenty of privacy and limit views from surrounding properties. At the back of the garden, you'll find a freestanding shed and a canopy.
Berkum has been one of the most popular residential areas of Zwolle for years. The district has a green and spacious layout and is valued for its peaceful living environment and good amenities. In the immediate vicinity, you'll find a shopping center, primary schools, sports clubs, a health center, the district center De Weijenbelt, and public transportation. The Vecht river and various walking and cycling routes are also nearby. The historic city center of Zwolle and the train station are reachable within about ten minutes by bike. The A28 and N35 motorways are easily accessible via the Ceintuurbaan.
The property was built in 1969 and has a living area of 121 square meters. The volume of the house is approximately 499 cubic meters. The entire structure stands on 247 square meters of private land. The house has energy label D.
Features and sustainability include wooden window frames with HR+ glazing. The exterior of the property was painted in 2021. The bathroom was renovated in 2016 and has electric floor heating. The kitchen was installed in 2005 and features floor heating. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler from 2003. In combination with the existing HR+ glazing, an important step has already been taken towards more energy-efficient living comfort. For those who wish to further improve sustainability, the property offers various possibilities.
The garage adds significant value to the property, offering secure parking or storage space, which is increasingly valuable in residential areas. The combination of attached garage and freestanding shed provides versatile options for storage of bicycles, garden equipment, or hobby materials.
The property's layout is designed for comfortable family living, with the ground floor providing the main living spaces and the upper floors accommodating bedrooms. The inclusion of a storage cellar on the ground floor adds practical utility for household storage needs.
The kitchen, installed in 2005, is from quality brand Siematic and includes built-in appliances, reducing the need for immediate updates. The floor heating in the kitchen adds to the comfort of this important living space.
The bathroom renovation in 2016 has created a modern and functional space with all essential amenities including a bathtub, walk-in shower, double sink vanity, and second toilet. The electric floor heating provides additional comfort.
The property's exterior maintenance is up-to-date, with the outside of the house having been painted in 2021. This recent attention to the property's appearance suggests ongoing care by the current owners.
The energy label D, while not the highest efficiency rating, is typical for homes of this era, and the presence of HR+ glazing and insulation indicates that some steps have been taken toward improving energy efficiency. For buyers focused on sustainability, there are clear opportunities to further enhance the property's environmental performance.
The location at the end of Pieter Zeemanlaan offers additional privacy and tranquility, being away from through traffic while still enjoying all the benefits of the established Berkum neighborhood.
The front garden's south-facing aspect and the back garden's north-facing orientation provide different outdoor experiences throughout the day, allowing residents to follow the sun or find shade as preferred. The established green boundaries create a sense of seclusion in the garden spaces.
With four bedrooms and additional flexible space on the second floor, the property can accommodate changing family needs over time, whether for growing children, home offices, or accommodating guests.
The property's asking price reflects its location, size, and condition, representing value in the current market, especially considering the desirable Berkum address and the inclusion of a garage.
The acceptance timeline of early December 2026 provides certainty for both parties in the transaction, allowing ample time for arrangements to be made for the transition of ownership.
This spacious semi-detached house with garage, bright living room, four bedrooms, well-appointed bathroom, and private garden in the desirable Berkum neighborhood presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a comfortable family home. The property offers generous living space both inside and out, with the added benefit of a garage and additional storage. The location in Berkum is particularly attractive, combining a peaceful residential environment with convenient access to amenities and transportation links.

Interior Comfort
Air Conditioning
The listing provides detailed information on other amenities like insulation ('hr+ beglazing') and heating ('cv-ketel'), but makes no mention of air conditioning. In the Dutch climate for a home of this age and type, air conditioning is not a standard feature.
Central Heating
The text explicitly states: 'De verwarming en warmwatervoorziening worden verzorgd door een cv-ketel uit 2003.' Additionally, the features section lists 'Cv-ketel Nefit EcomLine HR'. A 'cv-ketel' is a central heating boiler.
Fireplace
The listing for the ground floor living room states: 'De sfeervolle haard vormt een centraal element in de woonkamer en zorgt voor extra warmte en gezelligheid.' This confirms the presence of a fireplace.
Underfloor Heating
The description explicitly mentions underfloor heating in two places. First, for the kitchen: '...is geplaatst in 2005 en voorzien van vloerverwarming.' Second, for the bathroom: 'Daarnaast is de badkamer voorzien van elektrische vloerverwarming.'
Walk In Closet
The listing mentions the bedrooms on the first floor are 'voorzien van vaste kasten' (equipped with fitted closets). It does not describe a 'walk-in closet' or 'inloopkast'. A major feature like this would likely be highlighted, suggesting it is not present.
Skylight
The description of the second-floor bedroom mentions 'veel lichtinval dankzij de aanwezige dakkapel' (lots of light thanks to the dormer window). A 'dakkapel' is a dormer window, not a skylight ('dakraam'). The listing does not mention any skylights.
Exposed Beams
The house is a standard 1969 semi-detached home ('twee-onder-een-kapwoning') with a 'zadeldak' (hipped/gable roof) and standard ceilings. There is no mention of any structural or decorative exposed beams, which are not typical for this construction type.
Bay Window
The description of the living room mentions 'grote raampartijen' (large window sections) but does not mention an 'erker' (bay window). This feature would typically be noted in a real estate listing, so its absence suggests it does not exist.
Private Indoor Pool
The property is a standard family home with a listed size and price point. There is no mention of a private indoor pool, a feature that would be extraordinary for this type of listing and impossible to omit.
Private Indoor Sauna
The listing details the bathroom's amenities ('ligbad, inloopdouche, wastafelmeubel en tweede toilet') but does not mention a sauna. A private sauna is a premium feature that would be explicitly advertised.
Built-In Wardrobes
The description of the first-floor bedrooms states: 'De slaapkamers zijn voorzien van vaste kasten.' This explicitly confirms the presence of built-in wardrobes.
Ornamental Plasterwork
The home is from 1969, a period known for functional architecture. The description makes no mention of ornamental plasterwork ('stucwerk'), which would be an atypical feature for a home of this era and style.
Interior Style
Scandinavian
The description mentions 'rust', 'ruimte', and a 'groene wijk' (green neighborhood), which aligns with some Scandinavian principles of nature and simplicity. However, the home is a 1969 Dutch 'twee-onder-een-kapwoning' (semi-detached house) without specific mention of Scandinavian interior design elements (like specific color palettes or minimalist furniture). The layout is traditional, not open-plan.
Modern
The listing highlights 'vernieuwde badkamer' (renovated bathroom in 2016) and a kitchen from 2005. The overall condition is described as 'netjes onderhouden' (neatly maintained), suggesting updated amenities within an older structure. However, the house itself dates back to 1969, and features like a 'gesloten keuken' (closed kitchen) indicate it is not a fully modern, open-plan new build.
Industrial
There is no indication of industrial style. The house is a traditional 1969 family home with a 'gesloten keuken', standard bedrooms, and a suburban location. It lacks typical industrial features like exposed brick, large metal windows, or open warehouse-style spaces.
Mediterranean
The property is located in Zwolle, Netherlands, with a north-facing backyard ('Achtertuin... op het noorden'). This orientation and location are inconsistent with the sunny, warm, outdoor-living focus of Mediterranean style architecture and landscaping. The description focuses on 'groene erfafscheidingen' (green boundaries), typical for the region.
Classic
The house was built in 1969, placing it in a modern era, but it has a traditional layout with a separate kitchen and a pitched roof ('zadeldak'). It possesses features like a 'sfeervolle haard' (cozy fireplace). It is 'classic' in the sense of being a traditional family home rather than a stylized architectural period piece.
Exterior Style
Traditional Historic
Built in 1969, this is a modern post-war home, not a traditional or historic building.
Early 20th Century
Built in 1969, not in the early 20th century.
Post War Functional
Built in 1969, this fits the typical post-war functionalist style found in Dutch suburbs like Berkum.
Modernist
While from the modern era, it is a standard suburban house rather than a distinct architectural modernist design.
Newly Build
The building is from 1969.
Kitchen
Kitchen Island
The listing describes a 'gesloten keuken' (closed kitchen), which typically does not include an island, and no island is mentioned in the layout.
Open Plan Kitchen
The listing explicitly states the kitchen is a 'gesloten keuken' (closed kitchen).
Shared Kitchen
The property is listed as a 'twee-onder-een-kapwoning' (semi-detached house) for a single family, not a shared living space.
Design Kitchen
The kitchen is described as a 'Siematic' kitchen, which is a well-known premium design brand.
New Kitchen
The listing states the kitchen was placed in 2005.
Parking & Storage
Parking
The features section indicates parking is available 'Op eigen terrein' (on own property) and 'openbaar parkeren' (public parking). The garage has a capacity of 1 car.
Storage Room
The listing explicitly mentions a 'provisiekelder' (storage cellar) on the ground floor, a 'vrijstaande houten berging' (detached wooden shed) in the garden, and extra storage space behind the knee walls on the second floor.
Garage
The property description and features list confirm the presence of an 'aanbouw stenen garage' (attached stone garage).
Double Garage
The features section explicitly states the garage capacity is '1 auto'.
Attic
Although the second floor is a full bedroom, the presence of 'knieschotten' (knee walls) with storage space behind them indicates the utilization of the attic volume.
Cellar
The layout description mentions 'toegang tot de provisiekelder' (access to the storage cellar) from the hall.
Bike Storage
The description states the garage offers 'volop ruimte voor fietsen' (plenty of space for bicycles).
Covered Parking
The attached stone garage provides covered parking for the vehicle.
Underground Parking
The property is a semi-detached house with a standard garage; there is no mention of underground parking.
Workshop
The listing mentions the garage offers space for 'hobbygebruik' (hobby use), which suggests it can be used as a workshop.

Parkspot Rent Price Month
The property has its own driveway and garage; there is no mention of a rented parking spot.
Parkspot Sale Price
The parking is included on the private property plot; it is not listed as a separate item for sale.

Safety & Accessibility

Gated Community

Wall Insulation
