Description
The property is located in the popular Rokkeveen district of Zoetermeer, a neighborhood known for its peaceful atmosphere and family-friendly character. The area features tree-lined streets and green spaces, creating a pleasant living environment for residents of all ages. This particular home is a corner house, distinguished from standard terraced houses by its unique quadrant design, which offers more spatial variety and often better light conditions.
The living area of the home measures 120 square meters, which is distributed across three floors. The ground floor houses the entrance hall, living room, and kitchen. Upon entering through the covered entrance, you step into a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, a modern toilet room, the staircase to the first floor, and the living area. The meter cupboard was renewed in 2020 and contains eleven electrical groups along with an earth leakage switch, reflecting modern safety standards.
The living room has been finished to a high standard with PVC herringbone flooring and renovlies wallpaper, creating a clean and contemporary aesthetic. From the living room, you can access both the front and side gardens, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living during warmer months. The gardens feature new fencing and garden lighting, and include a terrace area as well as a canopy where you can seek shade on sunny days.
The kitchen is brand new, installed in 2025, and features an open design with a breakfast bar. It comes fully equipped with modern appliances including a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, induction cooktop with integrated extraction, microwave, and oven. This recent renovation means the kitchen meets current standards for both functionality and style.
The first floor contains three spacious bedrooms, a second toilet room, and the main bathroom. The bedrooms are finished with laminate flooring and wallpaper, providing a neutral backdrop that can easily be personalized to suit individual tastes. The bathroom, renovated in 2017, is centrally positioned on this floor and includes a walk-in shower and a double vanity with cabinet. Both toilet rooms on the property were updated in 2023 and feature wall-hung toilets with small sinks, maintaining the modern feel throughout the home.
The second floor offers a generous attic space that has been finished to a high standard. This area has been extended with a dormer window and features smoothly plastered walls and laminate flooring. A notable feature is the air conditioning system installed in 2020, which can both cool and heat the space, making it usable year-round regardless of weather conditions. The attic is also post-insulated, contributing to energy efficiency and comfort. On this floor, you will also find connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as the mechanical ventilation unit and the central heating boiler.
The central heating system is a Remeha Avanta 35C gas-fired combination boiler from 2016, which is included in the purchase. This boiler provides both heating and hot water for the property. The current energy label is C, valid until September 2026, with a new label reportedly in development.
The property includes an attached stone storage shed in the front garden, which has both electricity and running water, making it suitable for various uses beyond simple storage. The total plot size is 118 square meters, with the side garden measuring 68 square meters with dimensions of 11.5 meters in depth and 9.8 meters in width. The garden is south-facing, which means it receives plenty of sunlight throughout the day.
Rokkeveen is well-regarded for its excellent range of local amenities. The property is within walking distance of Zoetermeer Oost train station, providing direct connections to major cities. Two shopping centers are nearby, along with sports facilities, childcare centers, and schools. For recreation, residents can enjoy the Burgemeester Hoekstrapark, the Balijbos forest area, swimming pool De Vuur, and the Dekker Zoetermeer entertainment venue. By car, the A12 motorway towards The Hague and Utrecht and the N470 towards Rotterdam are easily accessible.
The asking price for this property is 515,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,292 euros per square meter of living space. This price is payable by the buyer, meaning additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees apply on top. The property is offered with full ownership rights and is freehold.
The delivery date is negotiable, with a preference for October 2026. This extended timeline may suit buyers who are not in an immediate rush to move or who have flexible current living arrangements. The sales contract will include standard clauses including the age and materials clause, which is customary for properties from this construction period. The choice of notary is left to the buyer.
The quadrant house design distinguishes this property from standard terraced housing. Unlike typical row houses that follow a uniform rectangular footprint, a quadrant house features an angled or varied layout that can create more interesting interior spaces and often provides additional natural light from multiple directions. This architectural variation also means the home stands out visually within the street scene, offering a sense of individuality while still benefiting from the community aspects of a residential neighborhood.
The ground floor layout has been thoughtfully arranged to maximize both functionality and flow. The position of the kitchen at the rear of the living area, with its breakfast bar, creates a natural division between cooking and relaxation spaces while maintaining an open feel. This arrangement is particularly popular in modern living, as it allows those preparing meals to remain part of social interactions happening in the living room or at the dining table.
The quality of recent renovations is evident throughout the property. The 2023 painting work means that all interior surfaces present fresh and well-maintained, reducing the immediate maintenance burden for new owners. Similarly, the updated toilet rooms demonstrate attention to detail, with wall-hung toilets not only looking more modern but also making floor cleaning easier compared to floor-mounted alternatives.
The bathroom, while dating from 2017, still presents as contemporary and functional. The walk-in shower eliminates the need for a shower tray, creating a seamless wet room effect that is both practical and visually appealing. The double vanity provides ample storage and counter space, a valuable feature in a family home where multiple people may need to use the bathroom simultaneously during morning routines.
The second floor attic conversion represents a significant value addition to the property. Rather than a basic storage space, this area has been transformed into a fully usable room that could serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, hobby room, or guest accommodation. The presence of air conditioning is particularly noteworthy, as attic spaces can become uncomfortably warm in summer months. The ability to both cool and heat this space extends its usability throughout the year.
The storage shed, while modest in size, adds practical value. Having electricity and water available in an outbuilding expands its potential uses significantly, from a workshop space to a garden potting area or additional utility space for appliances that might not fit indoors.
