Spacious 1930s Upper Floor Apartment with Sunny Southwest Terrace in Vruchtenbuurt

This spacious upper floor apartment is located at Mandarijnstraat 28 in the Vruchtenbuurt neighborhood of Den Haag. The property is a traditional three-level residence built in 1935, which means it belongs to the characteristic architectural style of the 1930s period. The building still features various authentic elements from its original construction period, giving the interior a sense of history and character that is appreciated by many home seekers.

The apartment has a total living area of approximately 133 square meters, which is quite generous for an upper floor apartment. The layout consists of multiple levels, with the entrance situated on the ground floor. From the small hallway on the ground floor, a staircase leads up to the first floor where the main living areas are located.

On the first floor, you will find the living room which is divided into a front room and a back room, separated by the original en-suite division that has been preserved from the building period. This en-suite separation is both an attractive architectural feature and a practical element, as there are four storage closets built into the sides of this partition. The back room provides access to the sunny terrace through French doors. The terrace faces southwest, which means it receives plenty of sunlight from the afternoon until early evening during the summer months. This outdoor space measures approximately 24 to 29 square meters and offers a pleasant place to sit outside.

Also situated on the first floor is the kitchen, which is described as simple but well-maintained and in good condition. A study or workroom is located at the front of this floor, providing a dedicated space for working from home. The toilet on this floor is separate and located on the landing.

The second floor contains four bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom is finished with fresh blue tiles combined with white and grey tiles, and it includes a shower corner and a washbasel with a cabinet. Additionally, there is a second separate toilet on this floor, which adds convenience for the household.

From the landing on the second floor, access is provided to the attic space. The attic offers a significant amount of storage space and also accommodates a sixth bedroom. This extra bedroom benefits from a dormer window that creates additional headroom and makes the space feel more open and usable as a proper bedroom.

The property has a total of eight rooms, of which six are classified as bedrooms. This makes the apartment particularly suitable for larger families or for those who need additional rooms for home office purposes, guest rooms, or hobby spaces. With six bedrooms, there is ample flexibility in how to use the available space.

The energy label of the property is C, which indicates a moderate level of energy efficiency. The apartment is equipped with double glazing throughout, which contributes to better insulation compared to single glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that was installed in 2019 and is owned by the current owner, meaning it will transfer to the new owner as part of the sale.

The VvE is properly organized with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance in place.
