With this DIY house you go back in time almost 100 years

Special houses are regularly for sale in the municipality of Zoetermeer. From small working-class homes to striking city villas. For example, a semi-detached house from 1927 is now for sale. Are you watching?

Attention handy Harrys and Henriettes! There is a cozy home for sale in the Oude Dorp that needs a lot of work. But with two right hands you can turn it into a special residential palace.

Deep backyard with a well

Look at the photos and imagine yourself decades back in time: wooden ceilings, dark furniture, brown and white tiles, floral curtains and discolored wallpaper. The house is located on the higher Schinkelweg, so the deep backyard slopes slowly downwards. Here you imagine yourself in a green paradise with lots of space. There is a shed, laundry room, elevated terrace at the house, a pond and even a well. Enough space for barbecue evenings and parties!

Let’s talk numbers

The asking price of this home is 325,000 hours. What do you get in return? A house that needs to be renovated from top to bottom, but which is located in the historic center of Zoetermeer. From home you can walk straight into Dorpsstraat for a spot of shopping or a meal.
