Key Features
Upsides
- The property offers a generous 203 square meters of living space plus an additional 91 square meter basement, providing substantial room for a family.
- The location is highly convenient with walking distance to shops, public transport, schools including an International School, and the beach and dunes at Kijkduin.

Downsides
- The energy label is rated C, indicating the property has only moderate energy efficiency which may result in higher utility costs compared to more recently renovated homes.
- The garage is not included in the asking price and must be purchased separately for an additional 65000 euros, which significantly increases the total cost if garage access is desired.
- The kitchen was installed in 2007, making it nearly 20 years old and potentially in need of updating depending on buyer preferences.
- The property has a flat roof with bituminous covering, which typically requires more frequent maintenance and inspection compared to pitched roofs.
- The central heating boiler dates from 2007 and may need replacement in the coming years given the typical 15 to 20 year lifespan of such equipment.
