Characterful Townhouse in Zeeheldenkwartier with Mixed-Use Potential

Located in the heart of the vibrant Zeeheldenkwartier in The Hague, just a short distance from the Peace Palace, this characterful townhouse offers approximately 350 square metres of living space. The impressive property features four full residential floors, a large basement, and a mixed-use designation, making it perfectly suited for combining residential and professional use or for full residential occupation.

The immediate surroundings offer a wide range of specialty shops, delicatessen stores, cosy coffee bars and atmospheric restaurants. The popular terraces at Prins Hendrikplein and Anna Paulownaplein are within walking distance, while Piet Heinstraat and Zoutmanstraat invite you to browse boutiques and unique specialty shops. Theatres, cinemas and museums are easily accessible on foot or by bike, and the beach of The Hague can be reached within fifteen minutes. Public transport connections are excellent, with tram and bus stops practically in front of the property. Both The Hague Central Station and Hollands Spoor Station are easily accessible.

Originally, the building served as a bank. The former vault in the basement still bears witness to this history. Thanks to its mixed-use zoning, the generous ground-floor space offers exceptional flexibility, ranging from a yoga studio or home office to an impressive living room or open-plan kitchen with French doors opening onto the garden.

The ground floor features a beautiful entrance with marble flooring, wall panelling and double wooden doors. The hall has a staircase leading to the basement, a front room, and a spacious, light-filled room with double French doors opening onto the rear garden with back entrance. The ground floor space currently lends itself well to professional use but could equally serve as a grand living area.

The first floor comprises a landing with separate toilet and washbasin providing access to the very spacious living room with a luxurious open-plan kitchen fitted with various built-in appliances. French doors open onto a wonderful, sunny and generously sized terrace. At the front of this floor is an additional room that could serve as a study, dining area or sitting area.

The second floor contains a landing with central heating room giving access to three bedrooms. The spacious main bedroom at the rear has French doors opening onto the balcony and an en-suite bathroom equipped with a bathtub, bidet, walk-in shower and double washbasin. A second, smaller bathroom accessible from the landing features a shower, washbasin and toilet. At the front are two bedrooms, one of which is particularly spacious.

The third floor offers a spacious sitting room with pantry and a large glass facade offering beautiful views. In good weather, the facade can be fully opened, creating a seamless connection between the room and the balcony. This floor also features a third bathroom with sauna, washbasin and walk-in shower, as well as an additional bedroom. This top floor provides an ideal space for relaxation or could serve as a separate living area for guests or older children.

The basement consists of a long hallway with two separate toilets. There is a large room currently used by a yoga studio, which can easily be repurposed as storage or a wine cellar. In addition, there is a smaller storage room and a central heating room. The presence of the former bank vault adds a unique historical element to this space.

The property boasts several notable features including freehold ownership, energy label C, a roof fitted with 13 solar panels, and largely double-glazed windows. The building dates from 1900 and is situated within a protected townscape. The flat roof is covered with bituminous roofing material. The property has high ceilings throughout, contributing to the sense of space and character.

With a total living area of 351 square metres, 39 square metres of other indoor space, and 42 square metres of external space attached to the building, this is a substantial residence. The plot measures 185 square metres and includes a rear garden of 39 square metres, measuring 6.67 metres deep and 5.89 metres wide, oriented to the east and accessible via a rear path. Both a roof terrace and a balcony are present.

The property contains nine rooms in total, of which six are bedrooms. There are three bathrooms and three separate toilets. Bathroom facilities include a sauna, bidet, double washbasin, two walk-in showers, bathtub, shower, toilet, and two additional washbasins. The property is equipped with mechanical ventilation, a sliding door system, TV cable connection, and solar panels.

Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler from 2015, which is owned. The property has roof insulation and partial double glazing. Parking is available through paid parking and parking permit systems in the area.
