Description
This well-maintained three-room apartment is located on the Keizerstraat in the heart of the characteristic and beloved Oud Scheveningen district. The property offers a comfortable living experience with a practical layout and an excellent location, being only a five-minute walk from the beach. The apartment is situated on the first floor of a portiekflat built in 1987 and features a spacious living area, two bedrooms, and a sunny balcony facing the southwest. With a total living area of approximately 76 square meters, this home is ideal for those seeking a residence close to the sea, the dunes, and daily amenities.
The layout of the apartment is designed for efficiency and comfort. Access is gained via a central entrance leading to the hallway, which serves as the central hub of the home. The hallway provides access to almost all rooms in the apartment. Located at the front of the property is the generous and bright living room, which measures nearly 30 square meters. The large windows in the living room ensure a pleasant influx of natural light, contributing to a spacious and airy feel. Adjacent to the living room is the open kitchen, which is in direct connection with the living area, creating a cohesive and inviting space suitable for everyday living and entertaining.
At the rear of the apartment, there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, each with an area of approximately 11 square meters. These rooms offer ample space for double beds or other furnishings. One of the bedrooms provides direct access to the spacious balcony. The balcony is situated on the southwest, allowing residents to fully enjoy the afternoon and evening sun, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The apartment also includes a centrally located bathroom equipped with a bathtub with a shower function and a washbasin. Additionally, there is a separate toilet, adding to the convenience of the layout.
For storage needs, the property includes a private storage room of approximately 5 square meters located in the basement. This space is ideal for storing bicycles or other personal items, ensuring the main living areas remain clutter-free. The apartment is located on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease, which is a significant advantage. The property features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material and is equipped with HR-glas (high-efficiency double glazing), contributing to the energy efficiency of the home.
The technical installation of the apartment includes a Remeha Avanta Ace 28c CW4 combi-boiler for heating and hot water. The property has an energy label B, indicating it is relatively energy efficient for its age. The active and professionally managed Owners Association (VvE) ensures the building is well maintained. The monthly contribution to the VvE is listed as either €170 or €190 depending on the section of the listing, and a long-term maintenance plan (MJOP) is present, which helps reserve funds for future maintenance. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, has a periodic contribution, a reserve fund, and building insurance.
The location in Oud Scheveningen is one of the most attractive features of this listing. The neighborhood is known for its historic atmosphere, authentic streets, and charming squares, offering a unique blend of village character and urban conveniences. The Keizerstraat itself is the vibrant center of the area, offering a wide range of shops, specialty stores, hospitality venues, and daily amenities. The beach, the boulevard, the Scheveningen harbor, and the dunes are all within walking distance, allowing residents to fully enjoy outdoor and coastal living.
Accessibility is excellent, with various tram and bus connections providing easy access to the center of The Hague, the main railway stations, and surrounding cities. Schools, sports clubs, and recreational facilities are abundantly available in the immediate vicinity. It is important to note that the property is located on a busy road and in a residential area, which contributes to the lively atmosphere but may also bring traffic noise. Parking is available through paid parking, public parking, or permit systems, as no private parking is included with the apartment.
Due to the construction year of 1987, standard age and materials clauses will be included in the purchase agreement. The sale is subject to the Onesta terms and conditions, and the civil-law notary will be selected in the Haaglanden region. This apartment offers a unique combination of a practical living space, a sunny outdoor area, and a prime location in one of The Hague's most desirable neighborhoods.
