Modern Three-Room Apartment with Water Views in The Hague's Binckhorst
Key Features
Description
This modern three-room apartment is situated on the third floor of a contemporary residential complex in The Hague, offering approximately 60 square meters of living space. The property benefits from a prime location with pleasant views over the Haagse Trekvliet waterway, providing a scenic outlook from the living areas. The apartment was completed in 2018 and forms part of a well-maintained building that achieved an energy label A rating, reflecting its efficient design and construction.
The interior layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the sense of space and natural light. High ceilings throughout the apartment contribute to an open and airy atmosphere, while the tall window frames allow ample daylight to enter the living spaces. The living room occupies a corner position within the apartment, featuring windows on two sides that frame the view over the waterway. This arrangement creates a bright and welcoming environment for daily living and entertaining.
The open kitchen is integrated into the living area, creating a seamless flow between cooking and relaxing spaces. The kitchen installation includes a range of Siemens built-in appliances, comprising a refrigerator, freezer, electric cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven and microwave, and a dishwasher. These appliances were installed at the time of construction and provide comprehensive cooking facilities.
From the living room, direct access is provided to the balcony, which extends the living space outdoors. The balcony measures approximately 7 square meters and offers an outdoor area for relaxation while enjoying the surrounding views.
The apartment contains two bedrooms, providing flexibility for various living arrangements. The rooms are suitable for use as a main bedroom and a secondary bedroom that could serve as a home office, children's room, or guest room, depending on the needs of the occupants. Both bedrooms benefit from underfloor heating that can be controlled independently from the living area heating, allowing for individual temperature preferences.
The bathroom has been finished in a modern style and is equipped with a shower enclosure, a double vanity unit, and a design radiator. The fixtures and fittings present a clean and contemporary appearance consistent with the overall aesthetic of the apartment.
A separate toilet is located in the entrance hallway, fitted with a wall-hung toilet and a small washbasin. This arrangement provides additional convenience for residents and guests.
An internal storage room is accessible from the hallway, housing the central heating combi boiler, the mechanical ventilation unit, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. This configuration keeps utility equipment neatly concealed while providing practical laundry facilities within the apartment.
The flooring throughout the apartment consists of PVC material, which is durable and easy to maintain. Underfloor heating is installed in the living room and both bedrooms, with separate zone controls allowing for differentiated heating in each area.
The building features a secure entrance with a videophone intercom system, providing controlled access for residents. A lift serves all floors, ensuring convenient vertical circulation within the complex. The apartment is located on the third floor, offering a pleasant elevation above street level while remaining easily accessible via the lift.
In addition to the apartment itself, the property includes a separate storage unit located on the first floor of the building, measuring approximately 17 square meters. This external storage space provides valuable additional capacity for items that may not need to be kept within the living areas.
A dedicated parking space is included with the apartment, situated in the underground parking garage at ground level. This private parking facility represents a significant advantage in an urban location where parking can be challenging to secure.
The apartment is located on Binckhorstlaan in the Binckhorst district of The Hague. This area has undergone substantial transformation from its industrial past into a contemporary residential and working neighborhood. The ongoing development has introduced creative enterprises, hospitality venues, and various amenities to the area, creating a vibrant and evolving community atmosphere.
Transport connections from the location are excellent. The property is situated close to major arterial roads providing direct access to the A4, A12, and A13 motorways. Public transport options are equally convenient, with both Den Haag Centraal and Hollands Spoor railway stations located within easy reach. The city center of The Hague can be reached by bicycle within a short journey, making the location practical for both commuting and leisure activities.
The property is situated on leasehold land where the ground rent has been perpetually paid off, meaning no ongoing leasehold payments are required by the owner. This arrangement provides certainty regarding future costs associated with the land tenure.
The owners association is properly organized and maintained, with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, regular contributions, an established maintenance reserve fund, and a maintenance plan in place. The association also maintains a collective building insurance policy. The monthly VvE contribution for the apartment is 164.83 euros, with an additional 6.96 euros for the external storage unit and 38.36 euros for the parking space.
The building is constructed with full insulation and features plastic window frames with double glazing rated HR++, contributing to the energy efficiency and comfort of the property. The heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas gas-fired combi boiler installed in 2018, which is owned by the current proprietor.
The property is being offered with a project notary and the standard NVM purchase contract applies. The sale includes a non-occupancy clause and a measurement instruction clause. A 2 percent transfer clause is applicable to the transaction. The transfer date is to be agreed upon between the parties.
The current seller has not occupied the property, which is reflected in the contractual clauses being applied to the sale. All measurements and surface areas provided are indicative and have been determined according to the NVM measurement instructions.
