Spacious 5-Room Triple Upper House with Southeast Balcony in Central The Hague
Key Features
Description
This spacious 5-room triple upper house offers approximately 116 square meters of living space with an energy label C and a balcony situated on the southeast side. The apartment is located in the Groente- en Fruitmarkt neighborhood, which is a central and lively area in The Hague. This district was developed in the 1990s on the site of the former wholesale market for vegetables and fruit, giving the area its unique character and historical connection to the city's trading past.
The Haagse Markt is located just around the corner from the apartment, where residents can purchase fresh and affordable vegetables, fruit, fish and nuts multiple times per week. This market is one of the largest and most popular outdoor markets in the Netherlands and adds significant convenience and vibrancy to daily life in this neighborhood.
Within a short cycling distance, residents can reach the MegaStores shopping center and Den Haag HS train station, which provides excellent connections both within the city and to destinations outside The Hague. The main highways leading to the A4 motorway are reachable within approximately ten minutes by car, making this location highly accessible for commuters. The center of The Hague is also easily and quickly reachable by bicycle, offering access to a wide range of shops, restaurants, cultural institutions and entertainment venues.
The Zuiderpark is located at a short distance from the apartment, providing opportunities for walking, sports activities, or simply relaxing in a green environment. This large urban park is a valuable amenity for residents who appreciate outdoor activities and nature within an urban setting. The combination of urban convenience and nearby green spaces makes this location ideal for those who want to live centrally with all amenities within easy reach.
The layout of the property is as follows. On the ground floor, there is a private entrance with a hallway and stairs leading to the first floor. This private entrance adds a level of independence and privacy that is highly valued in apartment living.
On the first floor, there is a spacious and bright living room that extends across the entire length of the property, measuring approximately 10.5 meters. The living room benefits from natural light entering from both sides of the building, creating a pleasant and airy atmosphere throughout the day. At the front of the property, there is a side room that can serve various purposes such as a home office, study, or additional living space. At the rear, there is an open kitchen equipped with various built-in appliances, including an extra large six-burner gas stove, oven, dishwasher, and extractor hood. This kitchen setup is particularly suitable for those who enjoy cooking and preparing meals with professional-grade equipment.
Also on this floor, there is a bathroom with a walk-in shower and vanity unit, along with a separate storage room with washing machine connections. The balcony at the rear extends across the entire width of the property, measuring approximately 5 meters, and faces southeast. This orientation ensures plenty of sunlight during the morning and afternoon hours. A hallway with a separate toilet completes this floor.
On the second floor, there are two generous bedrooms. The layout offers flexibility, as these two bedrooms can potentially be converted into three bedrooms if desired, allowing residents to adapt the space to their specific needs. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, separate shower cabin, toilet, and vanity unit, providing comprehensive bathing facilities. A built-in closet houses the central heating installation and also includes a washing machine connection. This dual washing machine setup on different floors offers additional convenience for household management.
Via a fixed staircase, residents can access the attic floor, which features a full bedroom that can also serve as a workspace, hobby room, or guest room. This versatile space benefits from abundant natural light thanks to the dormer window facing southeast. The multiple levels of this property provide distinct zones for living, sleeping, and working, making it suitable for various household compositions including families, home workers, or those who simply appreciate having separate spaces for different activities.
The balcony is a sunny outdoor space located at the rear of the living room and kitchen, facing southeast and measuring 5 meters in width. This outdoor area extends the living space during warmer months and provides a pleasant spot for relaxation, outdoor dining, or container gardening.
Specific details of the property include a usable living area of 115.9 square meters, with no additional enclosed indoor space. The building-bound outdoor space measures 6.90 square meters. The property has a total volume of approximately 383 cubic meters. The building was originally constructed in 1932, which contributes to its character and solid construction typical of that era.
The energy label is C, indicating moderate energy efficiency. The property features roof insulation and double glazing, which contribute to thermal comfort and energy performance. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler, which is owned by the property owner rather than rented, which can be financially advantageous.
The leasehold for this property has been bought off perpetually, meaning no ongoing leasehold payments are required. This is a significant financial benefit for the owner and adds to the long-term value proposition of the property.
The Homeowners Association, known in Dutch as the Vereniging van Eigenaren, is active and well-organized. The monthly contribution amounts to 125 euros, which covers shared maintenance costs, building insurance, and contributions to the reserve fund. The property represents 1/18th share in the collective ownership structure. The association has various organizational elements in place including registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance.
A non-residents clause, age clause, and materials clause apply to this property, given its construction year of 1932. These clauses are standard protective measures for older properties and outline certain conditions regarding the transfer and state of the property. The KCAF foundation risk indication shows no increased risk, classified in categories A, B, or C, meaning available data suggests no significant foundation concerns for this property.
The property is located on the second floor of the building and spans three residential levels in total. It contains 5 rooms including 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 1 separate toilet. The bathroom facilities include a walk-in shower, two vanity units, a separate shower, a bathtub, and a toilet. Parking in the area is available through paid parking and parking permits. The property is available immediately and offered at an asking price of 339,000 euros, with buyer costs to be paid by the purchaser, known in Dutch as kosten koper. This translates to approximately 2,922 euros per square meter of living space.
