Recently Renovated Top Floor Apartment with Three Bedrooms and Rooftop Terrace

This property is situated on Balsemienlaan 116 in the Den Haag neighborhood of Bohemen en Meer en Bos. The apartment is located on the second and third floor of a building originally constructed in 1952. The current owner has carried out extensive renovations since purchasing the property in 2024, resulting in a modernized living space with improved functionality and updated finishes.

The entrance to the apartment is reached via a communal stairwell with a letterbox and intercom panel. Upon entering the property on the second floor, you are welcomed by an L-shaped hallway featuring an automatic door opener and the electrical meter cupboard. From this central hallway, all rooms on this level are accessible. Adjacent to the entrance is a modern toilet room that has been finished with a small sink.

The main living area is a combined living and dining space that benefits from significant natural daylight due to a large sliding door leading to the front balcony. This room has an open plan layout with a compact yet functional kitchen installation. The kitchen is equipped with a sink, an induction cooktop, a freestanding dishwasher, a recirculation extraction hood, and base cabinets. The kitchen arrangement has been designed to make efficient use of the available space while keeping everything within easy reach.

From the living room, there is a pleasant view over greenery and the water of the Haagse Beek. This aspect contributes to a sense of tranquility within the home despite its relatively central location in the neighborhood.

At the rear of the apartment, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The first bedroom includes a deep built-in closet for storage. A second closet in this area contains a washing machine connection, providing a practical laundry setup. The second bedroom has been fitted with a vanity unit incorporating a mirror cabinet, as well as a closet that houses the central heating boiler. Both bedrooms feature patio doors with HR++ glazing that open directly onto the rear balcony, allowing for easy outdoor access and ventilation.

The bathroom has been newly installed during the recent renovations and features a walk-in shower, a washbasin, and a mirror. The bathroom has been relocated and enlarged compared to the original layout, improving both the functionality and comfort of the space.

A fixed staircase leads from the second floor to the third level, where an additional room has been created in the roof space. This room was previously a storage area but has been incorporated into the living space to serve as a third bedroom or a home office. The room is fitted with two new patio doors, both with HR++ glazing, ensuring good natural light and insulation. From this attic room, there is direct access to a large communal rooftop terrace that is sunny throughout the day and includes a designated seating area for the residents of the building.

The property also includes a private basement storage unit of approximately 10 square meters, located on the ground floor of the building. This space is suitable for storing bicycles or additional belongings.

In terms of technical specifications, the apartment is heated by a Remeha HR combi boiler that was installed in 2024 and runs on natural gas. The property has double glazing throughout, with most windows upgraded to HR++ standard. The electrical system comprises 9 circuit groups, 3 earth leakage switches, and a smart meter. A new fuse box was installed and expanded as part of the recent renovation work.

The building has an active Homeowners Association (VvE) that is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The monthly VvE contribution is 121.95 euros. The association maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, holds annual meetings, and has arranged collective building insurance.

The property is held on perpetual ground lease (erfpacht) that has been reissued. The current ground lease payment is 773.85 euros per half year, which is tax deductible. The ground value has been perpetually fixed, providing certainty regarding future costs.

The apartment has been assigned an energy label with a rating of E. Given the age of the original building from 1952, the sales contract will include preventive asbestos and age-related clauses, which is standard practice for properties of this era.

The Bohemen en Meer en Bos neighborhood is characterized as a pleasant and child-friendly area. Local amenities including shops, schools, and public transportation are available within close proximity. The beach, sea, and dunes are accessible by foot or by bicycle, adding to the appeal of the location for those who appreciate coastal recreation.

The price per square meter of living space is approximately 4,221 euros. The total volume of the apartment is 263 cubic meters.
