Bright Renovated Apartment with Unobstructed View in Scheveningen
Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment offers an unobstructed view over the Kranenburgweg and the canal, providing a sense of space and openness that is not common in urban apartment settings.
- The bathroom was completely renovated in 2025 in a modern Japandi style, featuring a bathtub, walk in shower with rain showerhead, underfloor heating, and a contemporary vanity unit.
- The location is exceptionally convenient for those who enjoy outdoor activities, with the beach, dunes, forest, and Scheveningen harbor all within a few minutes by bicycle or on foot.
- Original character features have been preserved, including the suite separation with built in cupboards, two fireplaces, and stained glass elements that add historical charm to the living room.
- The VvE has been actively maintaining the building, with the rear facade and balconons updated in 2024 and the dormer window woodwork addressed in 2025, indicating responsible property management.
Downsides
- The property is located on leasehold land with an annual ground rent of approximately 490 euros that will be reviewed in 2031, introducing future cost uncertainty.
- The energy label is D, indicating relatively poor energy efficiency which may result in higher utility costs and potential future renovation requirements.
- The building does not have an elevator, meaning residents must use the open staircase to access the second floor apartment.
- Both balconies face northeast, which means they receive less direct sunlight compared to south or west facing outdoor spaces.
- The VvE does not have a formal maintenance plan in place and does not appear to provide building insurance, which are important elements for long term property management.
Description
This apartment is located on Kranenburgweg in the Scheveningen district of The Hague. The property is situated on the second living floor and is accessible via an open staircase in the portiek. The building dates back to 1934 and falls within the Protected Cityscape of Scheveningen, which means the exterior maintains its historical character.
Upon entering the apartment, you arrive in a hallway that provides access to the various rooms. The hallway contains the meter cupboard, a modern toilet, and a separate cupboard designed to accommodate a washing machine. This practical layout keeps utility elements organized and out of the main living areas.
The living room is located at the front of the apartment and offers an unobstructed view over the Kranenburgweg and the adjacent canal. Natural light enters through the windows, contributing to the bright atmosphere of the space. The original suite separation has been preserved, including two spacious built in cupboards, two original fireplaces, and stained glass elements at the rear of the living room. These historical details provide character and a sense of the period in which the building was constructed.
The kitchen is positioned in the rear room and has been configured as an eat in kitchen. A large kitchen island forms the central feature of this space, providing both preparation area and a place where people can gather while cooking. French doors from the kitchen open onto the first balcony, which faces northeast and overlooks the storage sheds and neighboring gardens. The view from this balcony is unobstructed.
The master bedroom is currently situated at the front of the apartment. The second bedroom, which can also function as a study or home office, is located at the rear. This second bedroom has the potential for French doors leading to the second balcony, also facing northeast. A cupboard in this room houses the central heating boiler.
The bathroom was completely renovated in 2025 and features a Japandi style design. It includes a spacious bathtub, a walk in shower with a rain showerhead and a separate handheld shower, underfloor heating, a towel radiator, and a vanity unit with a mixer tap. The combination of these elements creates a modern and functional bathroom space.
The apartment has a total living area of approximately 70.2 square meters. In addition to the interior space, there are two balconies with a combined area of 7 square meters. The building has four living floors in total, with this apartment located on the second floor. Windows consist of both aluminum frames with double glazing and wooden frames with double glazing.
The property is located on leasehold land. The leasehold was officially reissued by a notary in 2012, at which point the land value was established at 14,850 euros. According to the listing, this land value will not change. The current ground rent amounts to 245.03 euros per half year as of January 1, 2026, totaling 490.06 euros annually. The ground rent will be reviewed as of January 1, 2031. There is an option to buy out the ground rent by paying the established land value in a single payment.
The Owners Association, known in Dutch as VvE, is described as active. In recent years, significant exterior maintenance has been carried out. The rear facade and balconies were addressed in 2024. In 2025, the woodwork of the dormer window at the front was maintained. The guttering has been completely replaced, and the chimneys and roof have received maintenance. Documentation regarding these works is available for inspection. The monthly VvE contribution is set at 150 euros, with the stated purpose of building reserves for future maintenance. The apartment represents a one quarter share in the community, together with the properties at numbers 108 and 110. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual general meetings. A reserve fund is present, though a formal maintenance plan is not in place. Building insurance through the VvE is not mentioned as being arranged.
The energy label for the property is D. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant gas fired combination boiler from 2007, which is owned by the current owner. The property has natural ventilation.
The location of this apartment is a notable feature. It is within walking distance of the Scheveningen harbor, with its variety of restaurants. The beach, dunes, and forest can all be reached within approximately five minutes by bicycle. The Frederik Hendriklaan, a shopping street with restaurants and various amenities, is also a five minute bike ride away. The immediate vicinity includes the woods along the Kranenburgweg.
Parking is available through a permit system directly in front of the building. The general parking situation in the area also includes paid parking options.
The sale of this property is subject to the terms and conditions of the estate agency Dekkers de Groot. The asking price is 400,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for transfer costs. Acceptance terms are negotiable. A floor plan is available to illustrate the layout of the apartment.
