In this owner-occupied house there is a sign from Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië station on the cupboard

From two-room apartments to detached farms: new Zoetermeer houses for sale are listed on Funda every week. There is often a gem among them that we would like to share with you. A corner house in the Village has been for sale for a few weeks now, with not only musical instruments on the wall, but also a train sign from The Hague.

The living room of this owner-occupied home on the Binnenweg is a striking appearance. A trumpet and accordion hang on the wall. Next to the gas heater you see black and white photos of stations. And above the wide cupboard is a sign with Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië: the train station in The Hague where tram 3 and 4 stop. A train enthusiast must live here!

More special details

The photos of this house for sale on Funda make it seem like you are peeking into a diorama. In addition to the musical instruments and the train sign, you will see even more special details. For example, in a cupboard there is an advertising figure of Flipje from the jam factory and an old biscuit tin from Verkade. A clock from the Grolsch beer brand hangs on the wall and industrial lamps hang in the living room and kitchen.

A roof terrace and living courtyard

The asking price of this house is 560,000 euros. For that you get a spacious house in the Oude Dorp with five bedrooms. From the living room you reach a large roof terrace through the French doors. At the rear is a small residential courtyard that you share with immediate neighbors and at the bottom is a covered parking garage with a private parking space.
