Renovated Ground-Floor Apartment with Garden in Statenkwartier

The property at Antonie Duyckstraat 30 is located in the Statenkwartier district of The Hague, a neighborhood known for its attractive residential streets and convenient location near various amenities. This ground-floor apartment, built in 1909, has been internally renovated and insulated to achieve an energy label A rating. The property is situated within a protected city or village view area, reflecting the historical character of the neighborhood.

The living area measures 92 square meters according to the NVM Measurement Instructions, with a total volume of 357 cubic meters. The apartment occupies a single level on the ground floor and includes two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a separate toilet.

The entrance features a vestibule leading into a hallway. Within this hallway, one finds the meter cupboard, a cupboard under the stairs that houses the washing machine and dryer, and a modern toilet with washbasin. The hallway widens at its end, providing space for a wall of cupboards for additional storage.

From the hallway, two glass-paneled doors lead to the en suite rooms. The original ornate ceilings have been preserved in these rooms, maintaining some of the historical character of the property. The floors throughout are finished in wood-look PVC in a herringbone pattern.

The front room of the en suite serves as the living room. The en suite cupboards between the front and back rooms offer substantial storage space for books and other items. Sliding doors connect to the back room, which has been configured with the kitchen installation.

The kitchen is arranged on both sides of the back room. One side features a low unit with a composite countertop, sink, dishwasher, and induction hob with a built-in extractor hood. The opposite side contains tall cupboards housing the fridge-freezer, combination microwave and oven, and a built-in coffee maker. This arrangement places the kitchen in what was traditionally the back room of the en suite configuration.

At the rear of the living area, a conservatory provides access to the garden through French doors. The L-shaped backyard measures 46 square meters, with dimensions of 12.44 meters in depth and 3.70 meters in width. The garden faces west, allowing for afternoon and evening sun exposure. Multiple seating areas can be created in the garden. At the rear, the garden widens, and there is potential to place a storage shed. A shed kit is already present but requires assembly.

The extension at the rear of the property is accessed from the main hallway and has been divided into two connected sleeping areas. The front section currently functions as a study or home office. A door leads to the spacious main bedroom, which has an adjoining modern bathroom.

The bathroom is equipped with a vanity unit featuring numerous cupboards and drawers for storage, as well as a walk-in shower. A cupboard in the bathroom houses the central heating boiler, an Intergas Extrema gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2023.

Both rooms in the extension have doors providing direct access to the backyard.

The property has undergone significant improvements in terms of energy efficiency. The front windows feature HR++ glazing, while the rear and extension have PVC window frames with triple glazing. Wall and floor insulation have been installed, and the entire property is equipped with underfloor heating controlled by a Honeywell Home system. These improvements have resulted in the property achieving an energy label A rating.

Additional features include a one-touch lighting control system for convenient operation of the lighting throughout the apartment. A TV cable connection is available.

The property is part of an Owners' Association (VVE), with the owner holding a 2/5 share. The VVE has recently been activated, with a monthly contribution of 120 euros. A small reserve fund has been established, and a maintenance plan is in place. Collective building insurance is arranged through the VVE.

The Statenkwartier location offers various advantages. The popular shopping street known as de Fred is approximately a two-minute walk from the property. The beach, boulevard, and Scheveningse Bosjes are within a short distance. The area is well-connected to public transport and arterial roads. The international zone and several international schools are also nearby, making this location attractive for expatriate residents.

Parking in the area consists of paid public parking with the possibility of obtaining parking permits.

The asking price is 595,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for transfer costs. This translates to approximately 6,467 euros per square meter of living space.

The property is available for immediate occupancy and is currently vacant. If desired, a significant portion of the interior furnishings and lighting fixtures can be included in the sale.

As this property is being sold as part of an estate, the purchase agreement will include an age clause, materials clause, and a non-occupancy clause. These are standard provisions for properties sold from estates and are intended to protect the seller from liability regarding the condition of the property.

The sales conditions of Brix Makelaars apply to this transaction, and further details are available in the property brochure.
