Modernized 1930s Gas-Free Terraced House with Three Bedrooms in Laakkwartier-Oost
Key Features
Description
Located in the Laakkwartier-Oost district of The Hague, this terraced house at Boddaertstraat 52 offers a combination of historical character and modern comfort. Built in 1935, the property has been thoroughly modernized while retaining the distinctive architectural features typical of homes from that era. The house is positioned on a quiet residential street that is described as being child-friendly due to its peaceful atmosphere.
The property spans three living floors with a total living area of 94 square meters, situated on a plot of 87 square meters that is fully owned, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The interior volume measures 330 cubic meters. The house has been completely renovated in recent times, with all rooms updated while preserving original character elements that give the home its authentic 1930s appeal.
One of the most notable aspects of this property is its energy efficiency and sustainability profile. The house is fully gas-free, having been converted to electric heating and a heat pump boiler for hot water production. The roof has been replaced with a new insulated version, and the windows feature a combination of triple glazing and high-efficiency double glazing (HR++ glass). Parts of the property have been fitted with plastic window frames, while the remaining original wooden frames have been upgraded with improved glazing. Additionally, nine solar panels have been installed on the roof to generate electricity, contributing to lower energy costs. The current energy label is C, which is reasonable given the age of the building and the improvements made.
The ground floor layout begins with a front garden measuring approximately 4.68 by 2.27 meters, facing southwest, which provides a pleasant entrance to the property. The front door leads into a draft porch measuring 2.01 by 1.22 meters, which contains the completely renewed electrical meter cupboard.

The kitchen has been recently renovated and features modern amenities suitable for contemporary cooking needs.
The first floor contains two bedrooms and the main bathroom. The landing provides access to a fixed storage closet and the staircase leading to the upper floor. The first bedroom at the front of the house measures 4.45 by 2.93 meters, offering ample space for a double bed and additional furniture.
