Light Starter Apartment in Central Location

This two room apartment is situated on the third floor of a building that was recently divided into multiple apartment units. The property is located in the Valkenboskwartier neighborhood of The Hague, an area known for its protected cityscape status granted by the municipality. The apartment has a total living area of 34.70 square meters as measured according to the NVM measurement instructions based on NEN2580 standards. The building itself dates back to 1907, which gives it historical character while the interior has been updated to meet modern living requirements.

The layout of the apartment is efficient and designed to make the most of the available space. Access to the property is through a shared entrance on the ground floor where the meter cupboard is located. From there, a communal hallway leads to the entrance of this specific apartment on the second floor. Upon entering the apartment, there is an internal staircase that leads up to the third floor where the main living areas are situated. This internal staircase is part of the apartment itself, meaning it is for the private use of the residents.

The living room is bright and open, connected directly to the kitchen area. The open plan design creates a sense of space despite the modest square meterage. The kitchen is equipped with practical appliances including a stainless steel sink with a luxury mixer tap, a four burner induction cooktop, a refrigerator, and an extractor hood. These fixtures provide the essentials for daily cooking needs without taking up excessive space.

The bedroom is located at the front of the apartment and benefits from natural light. Adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom, which contains a toilet and shower facilities. The bathroom layout is compact yet functional, typical of apartments of this size and era that have been modernized.

The entire apartment has been fitted with new PVC flooring, which provides a clean and uniform appearance throughout the living spaces. The windows are a mix of different types, with some areas having plastic skylights with double glazing and other areas featuring the original wooden frames with single glazing. This combination affects the energy efficiency of the property, which is reflected in the energy label G rating that is valid until February 3, 2036.

Heating and hot water are provided through a communal central heating combi boiler and a boiler system. The Vaillant boiler is gas fired and is owned by the property owners collectively. Residents share this heating infrastructure as part of the building's shared facilities.

A shared washing machine is available on the communal hallway for use by the residents of the building. This shared amenity reduces the need for individual washing machines in the apartments, which is practical given the limited space in each unit.

The Valkenboskwartier location offers residents a dynamic urban living experience with convenient access to various amenities. The Weimarstraat and Fahrenheitstraat are within walking distance, both known for their diverse range of shops, cafes, and restaurants. These shopping streets provide daily necessities as well as leisure options close to home.

For those who enjoy outdoor activities and nature, the apartment's location is particularly advantageous. A ten minute bike ride takes you to the Zuiderstrand or the beach at Scheveningen. The Bosjes van Poot green area and the Westduinpark dune landscape are also easily accessible, offering opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature. Closer to home, the green Koningsplein, Regentesseplein, and the nearby green spaces of De Verademing provide options for relaxation and recreation within the immediate neighborhood.

The historic center of The Hague is easily and quickly reachable from this location. Public transportation connections are excellent, and the property has a favorable position relative to the main arterial roads, ensuring smooth connections to both the city center and the highway network. Various sports facilities are located in the vicinity, including fitness centers, swimming pools, tennis clubs, and football associations, offering numerous options for an active lifestyle.

The property is situated on its own ground, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The Owners Association has recently been activated by a professional management company. The collective building insurance is already in place. The monthly VVE contribution is 101.83 euros, with an additional advance payment of 197.65 euros per month for gas, water, and electricity costs. It should be noted that the VVE currently does not have a reserve fund in place and there is no maintenance plan documented, which is information to consider for future planning.

Parking in the area is through paid parking and public parking options, as is typical for central urban locations in Dutch cities. There is no private parking space included with the apartment.

The asking price for this property is 215,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,143 euros per square meter. The property is available immediately upon completion of the purchase process. The seller has specified their choice of notary as Notariskantoor Post. The sale will be conducted using the 2023 NVM purchase agreement model, which will include clauses regarding non occupancy, asbestos, age related issues, and materials. These standard clauses provide protections for both buyer and seller in transactions involving older properties.

This apartment presents itself as a suitable option for starters, single individuals, or young couples looking for an affordable entry into the The Hague housing market. The combination of a central location, proximity to both urban amenities and natural areas, and the practical layout make it a functional first home. The protected cityscape status of the Valkenboskwartier adds to the character and long term appeal of the location, while the recent splitting of the building into apartments means the shared facilities and VVE structure are newly established.
