This distinctive townhouse is situated in the highly sought-after Zeeheldenkwartier district of The Hague, offering a living experience that combines historical character with contemporary comfort. The property, originally constructed in 1880, spans 161 square meters across three living levels and includes a cellar. Located on Heemskerckstraat, the residence sits among stately townhouses in a protected cityscape, positioned between the vibrant Piet Heinstraat and Prins Hendrikstraat.

The ground floor welcomes residents through the main entrance into a spacious hallway that leads directly to the expansive living kitchen. This kitchen serves as the heart of the home and immediately captures attention with its six-meter-long carbon countertop that flows seamlessly into the kitchen island and extends to form a dining table.

Adjacent to the living kitchen is a separate room that includes its own shower and toilet facilities.

The current configuration lends itself well to use as a guest suite, a home office, or an additional bedroom suitable for older children or teenagers seeking some independence.
