Beschreibung
This first-floor apartment is situated in a well-connected part of The Hague, close to the vibrant Hoefkade area, the well-known Haagsche Markt, and the green expanses of Zuiderpark. The location offers residents easy access to local shops, markets, and recreational areas, making it a practical choice for those who appreciate urban convenience combined with nearby parkland.
The property was built in 1916 and retains several original architectural elements that give it a distinct character. One of the most notable features is the en-suite living and dining room, which stretches nearly ten meters in length and measures 3.26 meters wide. This impressive space is divided by the original suite separation, which incorporates built-in cupboards on both sides. Having four such cupboards provides substantial storage capacity while maintaining the period charm of the apartment. The ceiling height throughout is 2.74 meters, which enhances the sense of spaciousness and light in the living areas.
Access to the apartment is via the traditional open Hague-style staircase entrance, known locally as a Haags portiek. From here, you reach your own private front door. The interior layout begins with a long hallway that provides access to a deep storage cupboard and the utility meter cabinet. This hallway leads to the various rooms in a logical sequence.
At the front of the property, there is a separate room measuring 2.73 meters in length and 1.01 meters in width. While compact in dimensions, this space could serve various purposes such as a home office, study area, or dressing room, depending on the needs of the new owner.
The en-suite living and dining room forms the heart of the apartment. Its considerable length of approximately ten meters allows for distinct zones for sitting and dining. The original suite doors with their surrounding cupboards create an elegant division between these areas while preserving the architectural integrity of the space.
At the end of the main hallway, there is a separate toilet room. Beyond this, the hallway continues to the closed kitchen, which measures 2.80 meters wide by 2.50 meters deep. The kitchen is equipped with a simple kitchen unit and provides the location for the central heating combi boiler, which is included in the purchase as the property of the seller.
The bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment and measures 2.80 meters by 2.50 meters. Adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom, which measures 2.80 meters by 2.00 meters and is fitted with a bathtub and a fixed washbasin. From the bathroom, you can access the rear balcony, which measures 2.64 meters wide by 0.95 meters deep. While modest in size, the balcony offers an outdoor space where residents can enjoy fresh air.
In terms of floor area, the property has a gross measurement of 73.5 square meters and a net living area of 64.2 square meters. The building-bound outdoor space, being the balcony, totals 3 square meters. The total volume of the apartment is 224 cubic meters.
The apartment is held on freehold, meaning there is no leasehold ground rent to pay. The windows at the front of the property are already equipped with double glazing. The current owner has recently replaced the window frames at the rear with new uPVC frames fitted with HR++ double glazing, which offers improved energy efficiency compared to standard double glazing.
The property benefits from an active Owners Association, known in Dutch as a Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE. The VvE is professionally managed by MVGM. The monthly service charge is 160 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, and has a reserve fund in place. However, there is currently no formal maintenance plan documented.
Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler, which is owned by the current seller and therefore included in the sale. The energy label for the property is rated as D.
It is important to note that the water meter is shared with the downstairs apartment, which means water usage is not individually metered and will need to be settled with the neighbor below.
The property is being sold under specific conditions that prospective buyers should be aware of. A non-owner occupied clause applies, which means the property cannot be immediately rented out by the new owner. Additionally, the sale is subject to an as-is, where-is clause, indicating that the property is sold in its current condition without warranties from the seller regarding its state. The transfer tax benefit in this transaction applies in favor of the seller.
The asking price for this apartment is 219,000 euros, payable by the buyer as costs koper, meaning the buyer is responsible for the transfer tax and notarial costs. The designated project notary for this transaction is Caminada Notarissen.
Parking in the area is available through paid public parking and parking permits can be obtained. The property is situated in a residential neighborhood.
The roof of the building is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The apartment is located on the first of three residential floors in the building.
This property presents an opportunity for buyers who are looking for an apartment with original period features and are prepared to undertake some updating and personalization. The en-suite layout, high ceilings, and generous living room length are distinctive characteristics that are not commonly found in more recently constructed properties. The location near the Haagsche Markt and Zuiderpark adds to the practical appeal of this first-floor apartment in The Hague.
