Unique Detached Villa with 7 Bedrooms and Double Garage in Water-Rich De Leyens
Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers a very large living space of nearly 300 square meters with 7 bedrooms, making it highly suitable for large families or multi-generational living.
- There is a potential for flexibility as the villa was originally built as two separate homes under one roof and can be converted back, offering options for a home office or caretaker apartment.
- The home is energy efficient with 28 solar panels and an Energy Label A, supported by double glazing and full insulation.
Downsides
- The backyard is located on the northeast, which in the Dutch context means it receives less evening sun compared to southwest or west-facing gardens.
- Despite being fully detached now, the property was originally a semi-detached home (2-onder-1-kap) which implies proximity to the neighbors, although the listing highlights privacy.
- Maintenance costs for a large detached villa with two garages, a large garden with a pond, and specific amenities like a sauna and solar panel systems will be relatively high.
Description
Located on the edge of the Meerpolder and near the Noord-Aa, this unique detached villa is situated in the beautiful water-rich residential area of De Leyens in Zoetermeer. The property is in an excellent state of maintenance and offers a spacious and comfortable living environment. The villa features a large extended living room of approximately 90 square meters equipped with two fireplaces, a luxurious extensive Bulthaup kitchen, modern sanitary facilities, a beautifully landscaped garden surrounding the house, no fewer than seven bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two garages. The home has a living area of nearly 300 square meters and is built on a plot of 499 square meters of private land. This ideal home offers many possibilities, making it suitable for a large family or as a multi-generational home with a caretaker apartment. The property is fully insulated, features 28 solar panels, and has an energy label A.
Upon approaching the property, one sees a beautifully landscaped front garden with two driveways providing access to the two large garages. The main entrance is located on the left side. Inside, you enter a spacious hall featuring a modern toilet room with a floating toilet, a meter cupboard, and a storage cupboard. The heart of the home is the luxurious extensive open kitchen from the renowned brand Bulthaup. This kitchen is arranged on two sides, one of which forms a very large cooking and washing island. It is executed in a neutral light color scheme with a beautiful natural stone countertop. The kitchen is equipped with all conceivable built-in appliances and offers ample cupboard space, making it a delight for culinary enthusiasts.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the extended living room, which boasts an area of approximately 90 square meters. This room features two fireplaces, a beautiful light oak wood floor with underfloor heating, and built-in convector heating near the glass facades to ensure a comfortable temperature in all seasons. Large windows and two sliding doors, along with six skylights, ensure a wonderful influx of natural light throughout the day. These features also provide a free view over the architecturally landscaped garden, which includes a large pond, a terrace, a gazebo, lush planting, and an unobstructed view over the polder, guaranteeing complete privacy. The walls and ceilings are finished with smooth plasterwork. A solid hardwood staircase leads to the first floor. On the other side of the property, there is a second entrance with a comparable layout, adding to the versatility of the home.
The first floor features a spacious hall approximately 12 meters long, providing access to five large rooms. The master bedroom is particularly impressive, having been extended to create a large room with beautiful light intake on two sides. This floor houses two luxury bathrooms, one of which was recently completely renovated in December 2025. Additionally, one of the rooms on this floor contains a standalone sauna, offering a private wellness experience. The layout on this level emphasizes the spacious character of the villa, providing ample room for a large family or guests.
The second floor is accessible via a staircase and features a landing with a side window. Here you will find the space for a washing machine and dryer, as well as the setup for the CV combi boiler and the inverter for the solar panels. There is a sixth large bedroom featuring a large Velux dormer window, with storage space behind the knee walls. On the other side of the property, there is a comparable layout with the seventh bedroom and plenty of storage space behind the bulkheads. This configuration makes the home perfectly suited for use as a double family house, offering privacy and separate living areas if desired.
In short, this is a magnificent double family home with two garages located in a beautiful green and water-rich environment. The location on the edge of the city allows you to walk or cycle directly into the polder from the home. Within a few minutes walking distance, there is a well-equipped shopping center with an associated RandstadRail station, providing excellent public transport connections. The area also offers primary schools, childcare, and various recreational and play opportunities, such as the nearby Noord-Aa recreational area. The accessibility by car is excellent, with quick connections to the main highways leading to Amsterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague.
The property was built in 1984 and has a living area of approximately 291 square meters. The two garages each measure approximately 18 square meters. The plot consists of 499 square meters of private land. The volume of the house is approximately 900 cubic meters including the garages. Originally this was a semi-detached house (2-onder-1-kap), but it can easily be converted back into two homes if desired. The flat roof covering of the flat parts was renewed in February 2026, and the exterior painting was executed in 2024. The electrical groups in the meter cupboard on the left side were renewed in 2025. The property is equipped with 28 solar panels and has a definitive energy label A, valid until May 2036. The house is connected to one of the garages which is attached to the garage of the neighboring plot. Acceptance is in consultation.
