Charming Corner Apartment with Modern Bathroom and Private Storage
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is situated on its own land (Eigen grond), so there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to pay.
- The bathroom was renovated in 2021 and the central heating boiler (Intergas) was installed in 2023, meaning these major components are new and require little immediate maintenance.
- The central location offers excellent connections to public transport (tram and bus) and is close to various amenities like the Leyweg shopping centers and the recreational Zuiderpark.
- The flexible floor plan allows for the easy creation of a second bedroom or home office, adding versatility to the living space.
- The apartment includes a private storage unit in the basement, which is a valuable extra for storing belongings.
Downsides
- The apartment has an energy label of D, which is not very energy efficient and may lead to higher energy costs compared to more modern, insulated homes.
- The monthly contribution to the Homeowners Association (VvE) is a recurring cost of around 119.51 euros, which is an additional expense on top of mortgage and utilities.
- The location is described as being on a busy road, which could potentially result in noise pollution from traffic.
- While the layout is flexible, the property is currently a one-bedroom apartment, which may not be suitable for families needing more space from the start.
- The parking situation consists of paid and public parking, which means there is no guaranteed private parking space included with the property.
Description
This delightful corner apartment, located on the first floor, offers a comfortable and well-lit living space. One of the most immediate benefits of its corner position is the abundant natural light that floods the home. The apartment features a luxurious bathroom that was completely renovated in 2021, adding a touch of modern elegance to the residence. The kitchen is compact yet efficient, featuring a well thought-out layout that maximizes the available space. It was updated in 2017 and includes various built-in appliances such as a 4-burner gas stove, an extractor fan, an oven, and a dishwasher. There is also ample room for a standalone refrigerator-freezer combination and the washing machine is conveniently situated here as well.
The current floor plan of the apartment comprises one bedroom, making it perfect for a single person or a couple. However, the layout offers great flexibility and makes it very straightforward to create a second bedroom or a home office to suit different living needs. The apartment has a total living area of approximately 66 square meters, providing a cozy and manageable space. At the rear of the property, there is a lovely balcony, accessible through the kitchen. This outdoor area offers a private spot to relax and enjoy some fresh air. Additionally, the property comes with the significant advantage of a private storage unit located in the basement, perfect for keeping seasonal items or bicycles securely stored.
One of the major assets of this property is its location. It is centrally situated with various shopping centers such as the Almeloplein, Leyenburg, and the Leyweg all within close proximity. Daily amenities are therefore very easy to access. For those who rely on public transport, the connections are excellent. A tram stop for line 2 and a bus station are both within walking distance. This ensures quick and convenient connections to the center of The Hague, Holland Spoor station, and Central Station. Furthermore, the apartment is ideally located near the Zuiderpark. This green and versatile environment offers plenty of recreational opportunities. It is also home to the unique Sportcampus Zuiderpark with its distinctive copper appearance, where a wide range of sports facilities are available, from indoor and beach sports to a gymnastics hall.
For beach lovers, the boulevard, dunes, and beach of Kijkduin are just a 15-minute bike ride away. This popular coastal destination features welcoming dining establishments and a broad sandy beach. It is also the location of the Sand Motor, which offers various water sports activities such as kite surfing, wave surfing, and wing foiling. The apartment is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) consisting of 34 members. The monthly contribution for the apartment is approximately 112.04 euros, and there is an additional contribution of 7.47 euros for the storage unit. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and has a collective building insurance. The share in the association for the apartment is 15/532nd and for the storage it is 1/532nd. A reserve fund is in place, which was around 48,883 euros at the end of 2025.
The internal layout is thoughtfully designed. Access to the apartment is through a closed entrance with mailboxes and doorbells, and a staircase leading to the private storage in the basement. The apartment's own entrance is on the first floor. A draft portal leads into the living room, where the pleasant light from the corner position is immediately noticeable. A decorative fireplace serves as a central and attractive feature in this room. At the back of the living area is the dining room, which, like the rest of the space, offers the potential to be converted into a second sleeping or working area. The meter cupboard, with 5 groups, is accessible from the hallway.
The bathroom is a particular highlight, having been renovated in 2021 with high-quality, fully tiled finish. It features a spacious walk-in shower, a modern vanity unit with a basin, and a towel radiator. The separate toilet is also modernly fitted with a wall-hung closet and a built-in cistern. As mentioned, the kitchen is at the back of the house in a corner setup. A neat balcony cupboard conceals the central heating boiler, an Intergas model installed in 2023. The spacious main bedroom is also located at the rear of the property. The apartment is fitted with laminate flooring throughout. A key feature of the building is that the apartment is on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease to pay. The energy performance is rated with label D. The front and side facades have aluminium window frames with double glazing, while the rear facade has plastic frames with HR++ glass for better insulation. Heating and hot water are both provided by the central heating boiler. Delivery of the property is by mutual agreement.
