Charming 1930s Corner Residence with Garage and Green Garden in Prime Wassenaar Location
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent location on one of the most desirable streets in Wassenaar, within walking distance of Park de Paauw, the village center, shops, restaurants, and international schools including the American School of The Hague.
- Authentic 1930s character has been carefully preserved, including stained glass details, solid panel doors, and the classic ensuite separation, while the property has been modernized with a rear extension that adds significant living space and natural light.
- Practical layout with five bedrooms and two full bathrooms spread across three floors, making it suitable for families. The master bedroom features access to a rooftop terrace with green views.
- Detached garage with double doors, loft storage, and a driveway providing parking for multiple cars, which is a valuable feature in this area.
Downsides
- Energy label D indicates below-average energy efficiency, which may result in higher utility costs and could require future investment in insulation or heating system upgrades.
- The purchase agreement includes both an age-related clause and an asbestos clause, indicating potential risks and costs associated with the 1938 construction date that the buyer should carefully consider.
- The northwest-facing garden receives less direct sunlight, particularly in the evening, compared to south or southwest-oriented outdoor spaces.
- The second floor attic storage is only accessible via a pull-down ladder, which limits practical usability compared to a fixed staircase.
Description
This charming corner residence, constructed in 1938, represents an excellent example of traditional Dutch architecture from the 1930s era. The property is configured as an end-terrace home, part of a three-unit building, and occupies a prominent corner position on the sought-after Jonkerlaan in Wassenaar. The residence has been thoughtfully extended at the rear, incorporating attractive skylights that significantly enhance the living space while maintaining the character of the original structure.
The location of this property is particularly noteworthy. Situated just a short distance from the atmospheric Burchtplein and Park de Paauw, residents can enjoy easy access to green recreational areas. The charming village center, with its variety of shops, restaurants, and daily amenities, is within comfortable walking distance. The property is also conveniently positioned near several primary schools and the American School of The Hague, making it an attractive option for families with international connections. Jonkerlaan itself is regarded as one of the most desirable residential streets near the town center, offering a rare combination of peaceful, green living with all essential facilities close at hand.
The ground floor of the property features an entrance located on the side elevation, leading into a spacious hallway. Throughout the ground floor, an attractive herringbone-pattern wooden floor has been installed, providing a warm and elegant foundation. From the hallway, there is access to a toilet and the main living area. The living space is arranged in an L-shape and features an ensuite separation with built-in cupboards and stained glass details, a characteristic feature of 1930s architecture. Thanks to the rear extension with skylights and French doors opening to the garden, the living room benefits from abundant natural light and a seamless connection to the outdoor space.
The kitchen has been incorporated into the extension and is arranged in an L-shaped configuration. It comes equipped with various built-in appliances, including a five-burner gas hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and a combined refrigerator-freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen, a practical utility room provides additional storage space with built-in cupboards.
On the first floor, a landing with a side window ensures pleasant natural light. The generous master bedroom is located at the rear of the property and offers access to an attractive rooftop terrace with unobstructed views over the surrounding greenery. The adjoining bathroom is well-appointed, featuring a bathtub, separate shower, double vanity unit, and toilet. At the front of this floor, two additional bedrooms are situated, one of which provides access to a balcony. A practical laundry room with connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer completes this level.
The second floor comprises a small landing with access to a storage attic via a pull-down ladder. Two spacious bedrooms are located on this level, both made fully functional by the presence of dormer windows and practical built-in wardrobes. Both bedrooms have access to a second bathroom, which is equipped with a shower, washbasin, and a third toilet. The boiler installation is housed in a separate storage cupboard on this floor.
The outdoor spaces of this property are particularly appealing. The front garden is deep and mature, combined with established greenery and a setback from the street, creating a pleasant and sheltered position. The driveway provides parking space for multiple vehicles. The rear garden, facing northwest, has been attractively landscaped with green planting and offers several terrace areas for outdoor enjoyment. Privacy is well-maintained throughout the garden.
A significant advantage of this property is the detached garage, which features double doors, a loft space, and a tiled roof. This structure provides ample room for storage or could serve as a workshop or hobby space.
The property retains numerous authentic 1930s details that contribute to its distinctive character. These include the stained glass elements, solid panel doors, and the classic ensuite separation. These features have been carefully preserved while the property has been updated to meet modern living requirements.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has an energy label D rating. Insulation includes double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler, which is owned by the property. The building features a shielded roof covered with tiles. Mechanical and natural ventilation systems are present, along with fiber optic cable and television connections.
The total living area measures 158 square meters, with an additional 1 square meter of other indoor space and 16 square meters of external attached space. External storage amounts to 17 square meters. The plot size is 356 square meters, and the building volume is 552 cubic meters. The rear garden specifically measures 138 square meters, with a depth of 13.26 meters and a width of 10.40 meters.
It should be noted that the purchase agreement will include both an age-related clause and an asbestos clause, which is standard practice for properties of this era. The exterior paintwork was completed in 2024, indicating recent maintenance to the outside of the building.
This property is offered at 1,125,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for transfer costs and any applicable taxes.
