Luxury Corner Apartment with Direct Dune Access in The Hague
Key Features
Upsides
- The location directly adjacent to the dunes and Westduinpark offers immediate access to nature and the beach, which is a rare feature for an apartment in The Hague.
- The energy efficiency is excellent with an A++ label, HR++ glazing, a recently replaced heat pump from 2023, underfloor heating and cooling, and solar panels, resulting in lower energy costs.
- The property includes valuable extras such as a private covered parking space and a ground-floor storage unit, which are often scarce and expensive in this area.
- The ground lease is perpetual and fully prepaid, meaning there are no recurring ground lease payments, which provides financial certainty and adds to the property value.
- Recent renovations include the kitchen from 2021, the bathroom from 2022, and the heat recovery ventilation system from 2022, indicating the property is well-maintained and move-in ready.
Downsides
- The monthly VvE contribution of 202.23 euros is relatively high, and there is an additional fixed cost of approximately 56 euros per month for the heat pump, resulting in total monthly fixed costs of over 258 euros before other expenses.
- The balcony is oriented to the northeast, which means it receives morning sun but limited or no afternoon and evening sun, which may be a disadvantage for those who prefer to use outdoor space later in the day.
- The price per square meter of 6,111 euros is above average for the area, reflecting the premium location but also representing a significant investment.
- The proximity to the dunes and the coast may result in increased exposure to wind and salt air, which can affect the exterior of the building and require additional maintenance over time.
- The apartment has only two bedrooms, which may be limiting for families with more than one child or for buyers who require additional rooms for a home office alongside a guest room.
Description
This corner apartment is situated on the third floor of a building constructed in 2008, located on the Bevelandsestraat in The Hague. The property is part of the Duinstrip area, a residential zone that borders directly onto the dune landscape. The Westduinpark is adjacent to this location, and the beach can be reached within a short walk. The building features a central entrance with a doorbell panel, video intercom system, and mailboxes. Residents can access the upper floors via both a lift and a stairwell.
The apartment has a living area of 81 square meters, measured according to the industry-wide measurement instruction derived from the NEN 2580 standard. The total volume of the property is 266 cubic meters. In addition to the living space, there is a balcony of 7 square meters and an external storage unit of 3 square meters on the ground floor. The property also includes a designated covered parking space.
Upon entering the apartment, one arrives in a spacious hallway that provides access to all rooms. The hallway contains a generous storage cupboard that houses the heat pump and the heat recovery ventilation system manufactured by Duco. A meter cupboard with extensive electrical installations is also located here. A separate toilet with a washbasin is situated in the hallway.
The living room benefits from the corner position of the apartment and the large window surfaces, resulting in a bright and spacious feel. French doors with a Juliet balcony create an additional sense of space and provide a connection to the outdoors. From the living room, there is also access to the main balcony.
The open-plan kitchen was renewed in 2021 and is generously laid out. It is equipped with a large induction hob with an extractor hood, an oven, a combination microwave, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher, and ample cupboard space.
The apartment has two well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom offers direct access to the large balcony, which is situated on the northeast side. The second bedroom is multifunctional and can be used as a home office, guest room, or children's room. There is also a practical internal storage room with a washing machine connection.
The bathroom was renovated in 2022 and is fully fitted. It features a bathtub, a fixed washbasel with a vanity unit, and a shower cabin with a rain shower.
The property has an energy label A++. The hardwood window frames are fitted with HR++ glazing. The entire apartment is equipped with underfloor heating, which also provides cooling during the summer months. A heat pump was installed and replaced in 2023, and the fixed service charge for the heat pump is approximately 56 euros per month. A heat recovery ventilation system was replaced in 2022.
The apartment is located on perpetual ground lease, with the ground rent fully prepaid for the entire term. This means there are no periodic ground lease payments.
The owners association is active and financially sound, supported by a multi-year maintenance plan. The current VvE contribution is 202.23 euros per month, which includes maintenance of the heat recovery ventilation system and the heat pump. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, has a reserve fund, and has building insurance.
The Duinstrip location offers a balance between natural surroundings and urban accessibility. The dunes begin directly behind the building, and the Westduinpark is adjacent. The beach can be reached on foot within a short time. For daily groceries, there are options in the immediate vicinity. The harbour and the Frederik Hendriklaan, known locally as the Fred, with its restaurants and cafes, can be reached by bike within a few minutes. The area is described as suitable for a relaxed yet active coastal lifestyle.
The building is accessible for people with disabilities and elderly residents. The property has fiberglass internet connectivity. There is the possibility to use a charging point for an electric vehicle at the parking space.
The asking price is 495,000 euros, payable by the buyer (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 6,111 euros per square meter of living area. The property is currently available, and the delivery date is to be determined in consultation. The purchase agreement will be drawn up according to the NVM model, and the general terms and conditions of sale apply.
