Bright Terraced House with Sunny Southwest Garden in Belgisch Park
Key Features
Upsides
- Prime location behind the dunes of Scheveningen with the beach and sea within a 5-minute walk, adjacent to the protected Meijendel nature reserve offering direct access to walking and cycling paths.
- Energy label A rating indicates good energy efficiency, complemented by underfloor heating and double glazing throughout the property.
- The southwest-facing garden of 43 square meters provides excellent sun exposure, and the property offers the possibility to add an extension and an additional storey subject to obtaining a planning permit.
- The ground lease has been perpetually redeemed, meaning there are no ongoing ground lease payments, which provides long-term financial certainty for the owner.
Downsides
- The parking space is not included with the property and must be purchased separately for 35,000 euros, adding significantly to the total acquisition cost.
- A dog grooming facility currently occupies part of the rear garden and needs to be removed before transfer, which may raise questions about the current state of the outdoor space.
- The age clause will be included in the purchase agreement, which is unusual for a property built in 1996 and may indicate some concerns about the building's condition.
- The property has only 2 living levels with the full layout, limiting the current usable space compared to properties with additional floors or a full second storey.
Description
This terraced house is situated in the Belgisch Park area of Scheveningen, positioned in a distinctive location behind the dunes. The property offers a living area of approximately 95 square meters and is classified as a 4-room home with 3 bedrooms. Built in 1996, the residence presents itself as a light-filled dwelling with considerable potential for future improvements and expansion.
The location is particularly noteworthy due to its proximity to the protected dune and nature reserve known as Meijendel. Residents have direct access to stunning natural surroundings with numerous walking and cycling paths. The beach and the North Sea are reachable within approximately 5 minutes on foot. Additionally, the property benefits from close proximity to the various amenities available in both The Hague and the Scheveningen Beach area, combining a natural setting with urban convenience.
The ground floor entrance is situated at street level. The hallway provides access to a toilet room equipped with a washbasin, a central heating cupboard, the meter cupboard, and leads into the main living area. The living and dining space features an L-shaped configuration with an open kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with a 6-burner stove, a dishwasher, a natural stone countertop, an extractor hood, and a fridge-freezer combination. Sliding doors from the living area open directly to the rear garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the ground floor. The landing includes a laundry cupboard for practical storage. This level contains three rooms in total. The rear side room and the back room, which features a wall of cupboards and provides access to a southwest-facing balcony. A modernized bathroom is also located on this floor, complete with a toilet, a shower, a bathtub, and a washbasin. The spacious front room on this level includes a wall of cupboards for additional storage.
The outdoor space consists of a backyard measuring 43 square meters with dimensions of 8.20 meters in depth and 5.22 meters in width. The garden is oriented to the southwest, ensuring good sun exposure throughout the day and into the evening hours. The garden includes a detached wooden shed for storage purposes and has rear access via a side path. Electric sun blinds are installed in the backyard for shade during warmer periods. It should be noted that a dog grooming facility currently present in the rear garden will be removed prior to the property transfer.
The property features wooden window frames with double glazing throughout. The interior flooring consists of natural stone with underfloor heating, providing consistent warmth and a comfortable living environment. The flat roof is a characteristic of the building's construction. The central heating system is a gas-fired Vaillant combination boiler from 2010, which provides both heating and hot water. The electrical installation comprises 9 circuits equipped with a residual current device for safety.
One significant aspect of this property is the potential for expansion. The listing indicates that there is a possibility to add an extension and an additional storey to the existing structure, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permit. This presents an opportunity for buyers to increase the living space according to their needs and preferences.
Regarding parking, a parking space numbered 30 is available in the adjacent parking garage. This parking space is offered for sale separately at a price of 35,000 euros, with buyer's costs applicable. The parking facility operates under an active Homeowners Association, with a monthly contribution of approximately 25 euros.
The property is held on municipal ground lease, with the ground lease rent having been redeemed perpetually. This means there are no ongoing ground lease payments, which is a favorable financial aspect for the owner. The cadastral information shows two parcels, both with the ground lease perpetually redeemed.
The asking price for the property is 625,000 euros, with buyer's costs applicable. This translates to approximately 6,579 euros per square meter of living area. The energy label is rated A, indicating good energy efficiency. The total volume of the property is 314 cubic meters, and the plot covers 106 square meters.
The purchase agreement will include the so-called age clause, which is a standard provision in Dutch real estate transactions for older properties. While the property was built in 1996, this clause remains a common inclusion in purchase agreements. The acceptance date is to be determined through consultation between the parties.
Viewing requests for the property can be submitted online through the listing agency's website, the Funda platform, or by email. The terms and conditions of the listing office apply to this offering.
In summary, this terraced house in Belgisch Park offers a combination of a desirable location near nature and the beach, a functional layout with three bedrooms, a sunny garden, and the potential for future expansion. The perpetually redeemed ground lease and energy label A are additional favorable attributes of this property.
