Description
This property offers a unique living experience in Zoetermeer, providing a sense of being on holiday 365 days a year. Upon entering this detached residence, one is immediately struck by the tranquility, the green surroundings, and the privacy. Despite this serene atmosphere, the home is located surprisingly centrally in Zoetermeer. The house successfully combines comfort, space, and luxury with a distinct vacation vibe. Key features contributing to this atmosphere include the sunny garden with a heated swimming pool, the generous living areas, and the numerous recent upgrades that make this a joy to live in every day.
The residence is a detached house (vrijstaande woning) built in 1980, offering a living area of approximately 129 square meters. The property sits on a plot of 273 square meters and has a volume of 455 cubic meters. It is a property that has been well maintained and updated over the years to meet modern standards of comfort and efficiency.
A standout feature of the exterior is the maintenance friendly Keralit facade. Parking is convenient and secure, with space available under the carport at the front of the house on private land. The side entrance leads to the hall, which houses a modern toilet room with a wall closet and a fountain. The hall also provides access to the extensive meter cupboard, which reflects the modernized state of the technical installations in the home.
The ground floor layout is designed to be versatile and practical. It features a multifunctional room that serves perfectly as a home office or guest bedroom. This space is equipped with electric underfloor heating and a fixed closet, ensuring comfort and functionality. The inclusion of a bedroom and workspace on the ground floor makes the house suitable for home living or living life cycle proof (levensloopbestendig), catering to various stages of life.
The kitchen is modern and spacious, fitted with a comprehensive range of built in appliances. These include a dishwasher that was newly placed in 2025, two combi microwaves, a cooktop, and an extractor fan. This setup makes the kitchen a functional heart of the home where cooking and socializing can happen easily. Adjacent to the kitchen is the generous living room located at the rear of the property. This room features a charming wooden floor and a gas fireplace that adds warmth and ambiance to the space. A harmonic door provides a wide transition to the outdoor area, effectively bringing the garden into the living space and allowing for an indoor outdoor flow.
The outdoor living space is a true highlight of this residence. The backyard is largely renovated in 2024 and 2025, offering a high degree of privacy. The garden includes a heated swimming pool installed in 2024, new paving, concrete work, and a renovated shed. This creates a luxurious oasis where residents can enjoy the outdoors almost all year round. The garden covers an area of approximately 109 square meters, measuring 12 meters deep and 9.07 meters wide. It is located on the northwest, which offers a specific pattern of sunlight, and is accessible via a back entrance. The presence of a heated pool significantly enhances the recreational value of the property.
Moving to the first floor, a light landing featuring a large Velux skylight provides access to the various rooms. Here you will find a fixed closet with connections for a washing machine and the location for the central heating boiler. The modern bathroom is spacious and was renovated in 2016. It is well equipped with a bathtub, a second wall closet, a shower with a thermostat tap and both a hand and rain shower, a wide sink with furniture, and a dormer window that creates extra space and natural light. The bathroom also features underfloor heating for added comfort.
The first floor houses three bedrooms. The master bedroom is located at the rear of the house and features air conditioning as well as access to a balcony with a view of the garden. At the front of the house, there are two additional bedrooms, both equipped with air conditioning and a dormer window. A second balcony is located at the front, offering a view of the street. One specific architectural feature is the extra wide dormer window on the north side, measuring approximately 12 meters. This dormer was installed in 2016 and features plastic window frames, triple glazing, and shutters, contributing to both the aesthetics and the energy efficiency of the home.
Technically, the property is in excellent condition with significant upgrades to sustainability. The roof is insulated with PIR aluminum insulation of 160 millimeters, achieving an Rd value of 7.27. The floor is insulated with Tonzon material with a certificate and an Rc value of 3.8. The home is also equipped with solar panels, further reducing its environmental footprint and energy costs. Heating is provided by a Vaillant central heating combi boiler from around 2015, which is owned by the property. The energy label is B, reflecting these efficient installations. Specific details include the availability of fiber optic, outside sun blinds, and rolluiken for comfort and security.
