Spacious and Bright 4-Room Apartment with Balcony and Extra Work Room

This spacious and light filled apartment is situated on the first floor of a well maintained portiekflat on Balsemienlaan in the desirable neighborhood of Bohemen en Meer en Bos in Den Haag. The property offers a comfortable living environment with a total of four rooms, including three bedrooms, spread across approximately 101 square meters of living space. The apartment was originally built around 1954 and has been maintained and updated over the years to provide modern comfort while retaining its characteristic appeal.

The location of this apartment is particularly noteworthy. At the front of the property, residents can enjoy a free and unobstructed view over the Haagse Beek, a pleasant waterway that adds to the serene atmosphere of the surroundings. The rear of the apartment features a balcony facing southeast, which is an excellent spot for enjoying the morning and afternoon sun throughout the day. The balcony comes equipped with a retractable awning that can be operated by remote control, providing shade when the sun becomes too intense. Additionally, there is a full height storage closet on the balcony for convenient outdoor storage.

The entrance to the apartment building is through a closed main entrance on the ground floor, complete with mailboxes, an intercom system, and a video phone for security and convenience. From the central hallway, residents access the staircase leading to the first floor where this apartment is located. Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed by a hallway that includes a built in closet offering ample storage space. The meter cupboard with seven electrical circuits and one earth leakage switch is also located in the hallway.

From the hallway, you gain access to all the main rooms of the apartment. The living area is generous in size and consists of a front room and a back room, effectively creating an L shaped living space with plenty of natural light. There are two built in closets in the living area for additional storage. The windows feature wood and aluminum frames with double glazing, providing good insulation and durability. The back section of the living room has a door leading directly to the balcony. For those who appreciate ambiance during the colder months, there is a fireplace that was last swept in January 2026 and provides a cozy atmosphere in winter.

Adjacent to the living area is a front side room that also contains a built in closet. An interesting feature of this room is that the wooden wall separating it from the living room can be easily removed if a different floor plan is desired, offering flexibility in how the space is utilized.

The bathroom has been modernly finished and includes a double vanity with drawers, a mirror cabinet, and a shower cabin. There is also a designated space for the washing machine and dryer, each with its own electrical circuit for safe and convenient use.

The toilet is separate from the bathroom and is of the floating type, which makes cleaning easier and gives a modern appearance.

The main bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment and features a built in closet as well as direct access to the balcony, allowing residents to step outside directly from their bedroom.

The kitchen is modernly appointed and accessible through an attractive glass door. It is well equipped with various built in appliances including a refrigerator freezer combination, a combination oven, an extractor hood, a five burner gas cooktop, and a dishwasher. The kitchen also offers substantial cabinet space for storage. The central heating boiler is installed in a kitchen cabinet and is a Nefit ProLine HRC 30/CW 5 model. Although the boiler was manufactured in 2013, it was only recently installed and put into use in December 2023, meaning it is essentially a new installation. The flue gas discharge system was replaced in February 2026 in accordance with legal requirements, and maintenance was performed by Verkade Klimaat in January 2026.

One of the most distinctive features of this property is the additional room accessible via the staircase in the portiek. Located on the third floor, this spacious room features three large Velux skylights that offer a beautiful view over the dune edge behind the Vogelwijk neighborhood. When the skylights are fully opened, residents can enjoy the afternoon sun and spectacular sunsets. This room is ideal for use as a home office, fitness space, or hobby room. The space is equipped with heating, electricity, and internet connectivity. Adjacent to this room is a closed storage area with a small Velux window, perfect for storing suitcases, seasonal decorations, and other items that are not needed on a daily basis.

Outside the apartment, there is a stone bicycle storage box that can be reached via a closed path on the exterior of the building.

The surrounding area offers a excellent quality of life. The apartment is within walking distance of the Meer en Bos park, the beach, sea, and dunes. Shops on the Arabislaan are also within easy walking distance. Slightly further but still walkable is the seaside resort of Kijkduin, where residents will find pleasant restaurants, shops, the lighthouse, and a playground boat. Two shopping centers are within a short cycling distance: De Savornin Lohmanplein and De Alphons Diepenbrockhof. The area also offers various schools, sports clubs, and the Bosjes van Pex, a popular green recreational area.

Public transportation is readily available with bus line 24 located diagonally across the street and tram line 3 on the Laan van Meerdervoort. For those traveling by car, the location provides excellent access to major roads including the N211, A4, A12, and A13.
