Spacious Corner Home with Multifunctional Layout and South-Facing Garden
Key Features
Description
Located in the Palenstein-Zuid neighborhood of Zoetermeer, this corner property at Van Wijngaardenstraat 38 offers a generous living space of approximately 144 square meters spread across three main living levels. Built in 1969, the residence features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material and has been maintained with several modern updates including a recently installed central heating boiler and twelve solar panels.
The ground floor of this property demonstrates considerable flexibility in its current configuration. Upon entering through the main entrance, you reach a hall that provides access to the various rooms on this level. The ground floor currently functions as a living area, but the layout presents numerous possibilities for alternative uses. This level could easily accommodate additional bedrooms, a dedicated home office space, or a hobby room depending on the needs of the occupants. The presence of a bathroom on this floor makes the ground floor suitable for single-level living, which is an important consideration for those seeking age-appropriate accommodation. Practical storage space is available on this level, and the property includes an internal garage that provides secure parking or additional storage capacity.
The first floor serves as the primary living area in the current arrangement. At the front of the property, there is a spacious and naturally bright living room. This room has access to a south-facing balcony, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor space directly from the main living area. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of this floor, creating a logical separation between the relaxing living space and the more functional kitchen area. This arrangement effectively utilizes the full depth of the property on this level.
The second floor contains the sleeping accommodation. A large bedroom is located at the front of this floor, benefiting from natural light. At the rear, there is a second bedroom alongside the main bathroom. The bathroom facilities on this floor include a shower, toilet, and washbasin. The practical division of this floor provides comfortable accommodation for a family while maintaining privacy between the sleeping areas.
Above the second floor, a loft space is accessible via a pull-down ladder. This area serves as additional storage space, which is a practical feature for any household. While not a full-height floor, the attic provides valuable extra volume for storing items that are not needed on a daily basis.
The outdoor spaces of this property are oriented to the south, which is a favorable characteristic in the Dutch climate. The rear garden measures approximately 150 square meters with dimensions of 19.31 meters in depth and 7.77 meters in width. This substantial garden can be reached via a rear path, providing an alternative access point to the property. The south-facing orientation ensures that the garden receives sunlight throughout most of the day during the summer months. In addition to the garden, the south-facing balcony on the first floor offers an elevated outdoor space with similar favorable sun exposure.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label C. The windows feature double glazing, which provides a baseline level of thermal insulation. Twelve solar panels are installed on the property and are included in the sale as owned assets, which contributes to reduced electricity costs. The central heating system is a Vaillant ecotec plus CW5 boiler that was installed around 2023, meaning this major component has significant remaining service life. The property is equipped with both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, allowing for flexible air quality management.
Parking is available on the property's own terrain, with the internal garage providing one dedicated space. Additionally, public parking is available in the immediate vicinity for visitors or additional vehicles.
The total volume of the property is 553 cubic meters. Beyond the 144 square meters of living space, there is 7 square meters of other indoor space, 7 square meters of building-bound outdoor space (the balcony), and 21 square meters of external storage space. The external storage consists of a freestanding wooden shed that has an electrical connection.
The property is situated on a quiet road within a residential area, offering a sheltered position. The corner location provides additional light input from two sides compared to mid-terrace properties. The Palenstein-Zuid neighborhood is a established residential district in Zoetermeer with access to local amenities and infrastructure.
The asking price for this property is 500,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,472 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a costs koper condition, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees. The acceptance date is to be agreed upon, providing flexibility for both parties. The property is partially furnished according to the listing specifications.
This residence is particularly suitable for several categories of potential buyers. Families will appreciate the multiple bedrooms and the flexible ground floor that can adapt as household needs change over time. Home workers can benefit from the possibility to create a dedicated workspace separate from the main living areas. Those planning for the longer term may value the option to live entirely on the ground floor level when mobility becomes a concern. The combination of indoor space, outdoor areas, garage, and solar panels creates a comprehensive residential package in a established Zoetermeer neighborhood.
It should be noted that standard clauses regarding age, asbestos, and lead apply to this property, which is customary for buildings from this construction period. Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own purchasing agent to represent their interests during the transaction process.
