Charming Micro-Apartment in Sought-After Belgisch Park Near the Beach
Key Features
Description
This attractive micro-apartment is situated at an excellent location in the highly desirable Belgisch Park neighborhood of The Hague. The property is within walking distance of the beach, the boulevard, and the vibrant Badhuisweg with its array of shops and dining establishments. The apartment forms part of a small-scale complex comprising only seven residences, which adds to its exclusive character and intimate atmosphere.
The apartment has been cleverly designed to maximize every square meter of its 30 m² floor space. Despite its compact dimensions, the layout feels surprisingly comfortable and practical. The efficient use of space ensures that residents can enjoy all the essential amenities without feeling cramped. This smart configuration makes the property particularly suitable for singles, young professionals, or as a pied-à-terre for those seeking a coastal retreat.
The heart of the home is the bright and airy living room featuring an open kitchen. Natural light floods this central space, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere. The kitchen itself has a light, modern aesthetic and comes fully equipped with built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, combi-oven, and refrigerator. Whether preparing a quick breakfast before heading to the beach or cooking a full dinner, this well-appointed kitchen meets all culinary needs.
Adjacent to the living area is a separate bedroom, providing privacy and tranquility for restful nights. The bedroom connects directly to the modern en-suite bathroom, which is fitted with a shower, washbasin, and toilet. This configuration creates a practical flow between the sleeping and bathing areas while maintaining privacy from the main living space.
The building dates back to 1912 and has been updated with modern amenities including PVC window frames fitted with HR++ glass, contributing to improved energy efficiency. The property holds an energy label D rating. Heating is provided through a block heating system, while hot water is supplied by a central heating boiler.
Residents have access to a communal laundry facility located on the ground floor of the building, eliminating the need for in-unit laundry appliances and saving valuable space. The building entrance is neatly maintained and provides secure access to the seven apartments within the complex.
The location of this property is truly exceptional. Within minutes, residents can find themselves strolling along the sandy beaches of Scheveningen, enjoying refreshments at one of the many boulevard establishments, or exploring the charming streets of the Badhuisweg shopping area. The neighborhood offers an excellent blend of coastal living and urban convenience.
Daily necessities are easily accessible with various shops, restaurants, and cafes in the immediate vicinity. Public transportation connections are excellent, providing quick access to The Hague city center and surrounding areas. Major roads and highways are also within easy reach, making this location convenient for commuters.
Parking is available through a municipal permit system at a cost of approximately €99 per year, which is remarkably affordable for a coastal location in The Hague. The property is situated on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood, ensuring a peaceful living environment while still being close to all amenities.
The property is subject to a perpetual leasehold arrangement (eeuwigdurend recht van erfpacht) with an annual canon of €250, subject to five-year indexing. The Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE) contribution is €208 per month, which includes a €130 advance payment for heating costs. The VvE is well-organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance all in place.
According to the KCAF (Knowledge Center for Addressing Foundation Problems), this property has been assessed as having no high foundation risk, indicating a rating of A, B, or C based on available data. This provides additional peace of mind regarding the structural integrity of the building.
The property will be transferred in consultation with the seller. An age clause and asbestos clause apply to the sale, which is standard for properties of this vintage. These clauses acknowledge that the property was built in an era when different building standards applied and materials now known to be hazardous may have been used.
This micro-apartment represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a property in one of The Hague's most sought-after coastal neighborhoods. Whether as a primary residence, a weekend getaway, or an investment property, the combination of location, efficient layout, and modern amenities makes this a compelling offering in the current market. The asking price of €205,000 (kosten koper) translates to approximately €6,833 per square meter, which is competitive for the Belgisch Park area given its proximity to the beach and the amenities of Scheveningen.
