Spacious Modern Townhouse with Private Parking in Huygenspark
Key Features
Description
This modern townhouse is located at Bocht van Guinea 38 in the Huygenspark area of The Hague. The property is situated within the unique residential project known as Huygensgracht, which occupies a favorable position on the edge of the vibrant city center while maintaining a peaceful living environment. The home offers a living area of approximately 119 square meters spread across three floors, providing ample space for comfortable family living.
The entrance level of the property features a vestibule with a modern toilet equipped with a fountain. The kitchen is located on this floor and includes a designated dining area. The kitchen is fitted with modern appliances including an induction cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator-freezer combination, and an oven. From the kitchen, one can access the backyard which connects to a larger communal garden that surrounds the entire complex. The private backyard measures 21 square meters with dimensions of 2.80 meters in depth and 7.65 meters in width. The garden faces west, ensuring pleasant afternoon and evening sun exposure throughout the warmer months. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room that houses the washing machine connection, a sink, and provides access to the car-free front square where the building is situated.
The first floor is reached via a spiral staircase and contains the main living room. This spacious and bright living area features a through-layout that allows natural light to enter from multiple directions. The flooring consists of block parquet, adding a warm and classic touch to the modern interior. The generous dimensions of this living room offer various configuration possibilities, including the option to create a dedicated workspace, an additional dining area, a play area for children, or even relocate the kitchen if desired. The living room provides access to a balcony facing east, which receives morning and midday sun and offers an pleasant view over the square below.
The second floor is accessed via the continuation of the spiral staircase and opens into a hallway that leads to two spacious and well-lit bedrooms. The listing notes that creating a third bedroom on this level would be relatively straightforward, offering flexibility for growing families or those requiring additional rooms for home office purposes. There is also mention of the potential to create a fourth bedroom, though specific details on how this would be achieved are not provided. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, sink, toilet, and a walk-in shower, providing all essential facilities.
The property includes an underground parking space located in the garage near the exit. This is a significant advantage in a central urban location where parking is typically limited and expensive. The immediate vicinity is described as car-free, contributing to a quiet and safe residential atmosphere.
The Huygenspark location offers exceptional connectivity to urban amenities. The property is situated around the corner from the Bierkade, often referred to as the Avenue Culinaire due to its concentration of restaurants and cafes. Within walking distance are the Plein and Grote Markt, which serve as central hubs for shopping, nightlife, cinemas, and various cultural institutions in The Hague city center. Public transportation options are abundant, with bus and tram stops as well as both The Hague Central Station and Hollands Spoor station within walking distance. For car travel, the A12 highway can be reached within approximately five minutes from the underground parking garage.
The building dates from 1999 and holds an energy label B rating. The windows feature HR-glass (high-efficiency double glazing), contributing to the energy efficiency of the property. Heating and hot water are provided by a CV-ketel (central heating boiler). The total volume of the property is 420 cubic meters.
The property is held under leasehold (erfpacht) from the municipality, which has been perpetually paid off (eeuwigdurend afgekocht). This means there are no periodic leasehold payments to consider, which is a favorable financial aspect for the owner.
The property is part of an active and financially healthy Homeowners Association (VvE) that is professionally managed. The VvE takes responsibility for maintenance of the individual homes, the communal garden, the underlying garage, and maintains a collective buildings insurance policy. The monthly VvE contribution amounts to 216 euros.
It should be noted that the purchase agreement will include standard clauses regarding the age of the property and materials (ouderdoms- en materialenclausule), which is customary for properties of this age.
The property is classified as a townhouse (tussenwoning) within a herenhuis style building. The total building-bound outdoor space measures 6 square meters, which includes the balcony on the first floor. The surrounding area is characterized as a quiet road within a residential neighborhood, despite its central location.
At the time of listing, the property was offered at 550,000 euros costs to the buyer (kosten koper), which translates to approximately 4,622 euros per square meter of living space. The property status is listed as sold under condition (verkocht onder voorbehoud), indicating that a buyer has been found but the sale has not yet been finalized.
The Huygensgracht project represents a thoughtfully planned residential development that successfully combines the convenience of inner-city living with the tranquility typically associated with quieter residential areas. The architecture and layout of the units, with their vertical organization across three floors and the inclusion of private outdoor spaces at different levels, create a varied living experience within a compact footprint.
