Description
This corner house is located on Busken Huëtstraat in the Spoorwijk district of The Hague. The property was originally constructed in 1929 and has a total living area of approximately 114 square meters spread across three floors. The home features five rooms that can be used as bedrooms, making it particularly suitable for families looking for ample sleeping accommodation.
The ground floor of the residence comprises the main living area with an open kitchen layout. This arrangement creates a spacious feel where cooking, dining, and relaxing naturally flow together. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances that facilitate meal preparation. A notable feature of the ground floor is the presence of underfloor heating, which provides even warmth distribution throughout the living spaces. The floor plan allows for flexible furniture arrangement, giving residents the opportunity to personalize the space according to their preferences.
Throughout the interior, distinctive wooden elements have been incorporated into the design. These include authentic ceiling beams and other characterful details that contribute to a warm atmosphere and give the property its unique appearance. The combination of these traditional features with modern amenities creates an interesting contrast that adds to the appeal of the home.
The bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes both a bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower. The walls feature Venetian plasterwork, which gives the room an exclusive and stylish appearance. In addition to the main bathroom, there is a separate toilet located elsewhere in the house, providing practical convenience for daily use.
The upper floors contain the five sleeping quarters. Two dormer windows have been added to the roof structure, one installed in 2023 and another in 2025. These recent additions have increased the usable space in the attic area and brought in additional natural light. The presence of five bedrooms in a property of this size represents an efficient use of space that will appeal to larger families or those who require home office space alongside sleeping areas.
At the rear of the property lies a well-maintained garden with a depth of 8.5 meters and a width of 5.61 meters, totaling approximately 48 square meters. The garden faces south, which means it receives sunlight throughout most of the day during the warmer months. A covered area or pergola has been constructed in the garden, extending the usability of the outdoor space into the cooler seasons and providing shelter during light rain. This setup allows residents to enjoy outdoor living and host guests in a private setting.
The property is situated in Spoorwijk, a residential neighborhood located southwest of The Hague city center. The area is known for its family-friendly character, with multiple schools and playground facilities available nearby. Julianapark is within walking distance, offering green recreational space for residents of all ages. The neighborhood has a calm atmosphere that appeals to families with children.
Transportation options are readily accessible from this location. Den Haag Moerwijk railway station is nearby, providing direct connections to various destinations. Additionally, tram and bus services operate in the area, making it straightforward to reach the city center, the beach at Scheveningen, and the neighboring municipality of Rijswijk. For those traveling by car, the major highways A4, A12, and A13 can be reached within a few minutes, facilitating commutes to other cities in the Randstad region.
Daily shopping needs can be met at various stores located within a short distance of the property. The combination of local amenities and good transport links makes this location practical for everyday living.
Regarding the technical specifications, the property holds an energy label C rating, which remains valid until November 2034. The heating system consists of a Remeha Avanta gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2011. The electrical installation includes 20 circuit groups, three earth leakage switches, and one main switch. Window frames are a mix of plastic and wood, with all windows featuring double glazing. Mechanical and natural ventilation systems are present in the property.
The property is subject to perpetual leasehold (erfpacht) with conditions established in 1986 and revised in 1993. The current ground rent (canon) is 199.17 euros per half year, plus 17 euros in management costs, totaling approximately 432.34 euros annually. The next revision of the ground rent is scheduled for January 1, 2026, with the ground value set at 9,484 euros and the applicable canon percentage at 4.2 percent.
Parking arrangements in the area allow free parking until 6:00 PM, after which a resident or visitor permit from the Municipality of The Hague is required. This system provides a degree of convenience for residents who own vehicles.
The asking price for this property is 500,000 euros, payable by the buyer (kosten koper). The sale will be conducted through a digital bidding platform. The buyer has the freedom to choose a notary, provided the notary is based in The Hague. An age clause will be included in the purchase agreement regardless of the actual condition or age of the property. The delivery date is subject to mutual agreement between the parties.
