Spacious Detached Villa with Large Plot in Central Zwijndrecht
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptionally large plot of 1,680 m² with a deep southwest facing backyard of 1,485 m², providing significant privacy and outdoor living space that is rare in a central location.
- Twenty solar panels and a fixed EV charging point are already installed, offering energy efficiency and readiness for electric vehicles.
- Central location in Zwijndrecht with shops, schools, public transport, and major roads within close proximity, combining convenience with a spacious detached setting.
- The underfloor terrace at the rear offers potential to extend the living room, providing future expansion possibilities.
- The recently renovated en suite bathroom on the ground floor adds modern comfort and could serve as a primary or guest suite.
Downsides
- The price per square meter of 8,287 euros is relatively high for a property built in 1992, reflecting the premium paid for the large plot rather than the building itself.
- The kitchen appears basic for this price range, with only a four burner gas cooktop and no mention of premium appliances or recent renovation.
- The attic space cannot officially be counted as living area due to insufficient natural light, requiring additional investment in skylights to qualify as a bedroom.
- With 181 m² of living space spread across five bedrooms and two bathrooms, the individual rooms may feel modest in size given the overall price point.
- The property dates from 1992, and while some updates have been made, other elements like the kitchen and first floor bathroom may eventually require modernization.
Description
This detached villa is situated on the Rotterdamseweg in the center of Zwijndrecht. The property was built in 1992 and features a hipped roof covered with tiles. The total plot measures 1,680 square meters, providing ample space and privacy while maintaining a central location close to shops, schools, public transport, and major roads.
The entrance makes a strong first impression with a glass canopy supported by a steel frame. The reception hall has a natural stone floor and features a stylish staircase leading to the upper floor. The meter cupboard is equipped with nine circuit groups and earth leakage switches, a separate group for the electric vehicle charging point, an alarm system connection, and a fiber optic connection. A toilet room on the ground floor includes a wall mounted toilet and a small sink.
The ground floor includes one bedroom located at the front of the property, also featuring a natural stone floor. This bedroom has an en suite bathroom that has been completely renovated recently. The en suite bathroom contains a full walk in shower, a second toilet, a wall radiator, a washbasin cabinet, and two windows facing the exterior.
The living room is spacious and features a natural stone floor, large windows, and a wood burning fireplace with a glass door. Patio doors open to the underfloor terrace at the rear of the property. The kitchen is arranged in a corner layout and includes built in appliances: a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and a four burner gas cooktop. A utility room adjacent to the kitchen provides connections for a washing machine and dryer, a sink, and access to a storage attic.
The first floor is reached via the stylish staircase from the reception hall. This floor contains four additional bedrooms. The second bedroom is located at the front and has a large window in the side wall, floor covering, and a built in closet. The third bedroom is at the rear and features a large side window, a skylight, floor covering, and a built in closet.

The fifth bedroom is at the front and has two built in closets, floor covering, and double doors opening to a balcony.
The first floor bathroom is positioned at the rear in the center of the property. This bathroom includes a bathtub, a shower cabin, a second toilet, a design radiator, a dormer window equipped with a screen, and a washbasin cabinet.
An attic space is accessible via a fixed staircase located behind a door on the first floor landing. This attic room has two fixed windows and can serve as an additional guest room, hobby room, or workspace. The square footage of this room is not included in the official living area calculation because the current light intake is insufficient according to the NEN measurement method. The listing notes that installing two skylights would allow this space to qualify as a full bedroom under the measurement standards.
Both the front and back gardens have been designed by a landscape architect and feature multiple terraces, a garden house or chalet, and various areas offering both sun and shade. The back garden is particularly noteworthy, measuring 1,485 square meters with a depth of 55 meters and a width of 27 meters. The garden faces southwest. Side passages on both sides of the property provide access to the rear.
The property includes a stone garage with a sectional door and a side door. A storage attic runs the full length above the garage. There is also a carport structure. The wide driveway can accommodate at least four vehicles and is secured by a steel entrance gate with wireless operation.
Several practical features have been installed. Electric screens have been placed on the sunny side of the property. A terrace awning is fitted on the living room side. Twenty solar panels have been installed on the garage roof. A fixed charging point for electric vehicles is available. The property has copper gutters and rainwater drains. The terrace at the rear is built on an underfloor foundation, which according to the listing offers possibilities to enlarge the living room.
The property has an energy label B. The building is fully insulated. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Cal Ace 28cccs gas fired combination boiler from 2018, which is owned by the current proprietor.
The cadastral designation is ZWIJNDRECHT B 5953 with a surface area of 1,680 square meters held in full ownership. The total living area measures 181 square meters, with an additional 24 square meters of other indoor space, 39 square meters of building related outdoor space, and 51 square meters of external storage space. The building volume is 761 cubic meters. The property contains six rooms in total, comprising five bedrooms and two bathrooms plus one separate toilet.
The asking price is 1,500,000 euros buyer costs, which translates to approximately 8,287 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available and transfer is negotiable.
This villa combines generous outdoor space with a central location in Zwijndrecht. The large plot, multiple terraces, and mature garden design create a private residential environment. The property offers flexibility for family living, working from home, or realizing personal living preferences. The presence of modern amenities such as solar panels, an EV charging point, fiber optic internet, and a recently renovated bathroom add practical value to this substantial family residence.
