Key Features
Description
Welcome to this charming three-room apartment situated on the first floor in the sought-after Regentesse-Valkenboskwartier neighborhood of The Hague. This property offers comfortable living with a modern kitchen, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and a pleasant balcony. Built around 1926, this residence combines classic architectural character with practical updates for contemporary living.
The apartment is located on Meidoornstraat, a quiet street that provides a peaceful residential atmosphere while being wonderfully connected to urban amenities. The Regentesse-Valkenboskwartier district is highly desirable among homebuyers due to its strategic positioning and neighborhood character. Residents enjoy proximity to the vibrant Weimarstraat, a bustling shopping street offering a diverse selection of specialty shops, supermarkets, dining establishments, and daily services. Everything needed for comfortable daily life is within easy reach.
For those who appreciate nature and recreation, the property offers excellent accessibility to some of The Hague's finest natural attractions. The sandy beaches of Scheveningen and the expansive Westduinpark are approximately a twenty-minute bicycle ride away. These destinations provide wonderful opportunities for beach walks, seaside dining, and peaceful moments amid the dunes. The combination of city living with easy access to coastal natural areas makes this location particularly appealing.
Public transportation options are conveniently available in the vicinity, along with various schools and major exit roads. This connectivity ensures that the city center of The Hague, surrounding neighborhoods, and other cities in the Randstad region are easily accessible. Whether commuting for work or exploring the broader region, residents benefit from this central and well-connected position.
Upon entering the building through the traditional Haags portiek, you ascend to the first floor where this apartment is located. The entrance opens into a central hall that provides access to all rooms, creating a practical and efficient layout for daily living.
The living room is positioned at the front of the apartment and benefits from generous proportions and abundant natural light. Large windows create a bright and welcoming atmosphere while offering a pleasant view of the tree-lined street below. This space provides flexibility for various furniture arrangements and lifestyle preferences.
At the rear of the apartment, you will find the modern kitchen featuring an L-shaped configuration that maximizes both workspace and storage. The kitchen is well-equipped with practical appliances including a four-burner gas cooktop, extractor hood, refrigerator with freezer compartment, and an oven. From the kitchen, a door provides direct access to the balcony, creating a natural flow for indoor-outdoor living and making it convenient for al fresco dining or simply enjoying fresh air.
Also situated at the rear of the property are two bedrooms. These rooms provide comfortable accommodation and benefit from views toward the quieter back side of the building. The bedroom layout offers flexibility for various household configurations, whether used as a master bedroom and guest room, or perhaps one bedroom converted to a home office space.
The bathroom has been neatly finished and features a walk-in shower along with a double vanity unit with a mirror cabinet. This combination provides both functionality and convenience for daily routines. A separate toilet room with a wall-mounted toilet fixture adds to the practicality of the layout.
A fixed storage closet in the hall houses the central heating boiler and provides connections for both a washing machine and dryer. This practical arrangement keeps laundry appliances out of sight while maintaining easy accessibility.
The property encompasses approximately 70 square meters of living space with a total volume of roughly 236 cubic meters. These dimensions create comfortable proportions for a two-bedroom apartment suitable for couples, small families, or individuals desiring extra space for a home office.
The building itself sits on own ground, meaning there is no leasehold applicable to this property. This provides owners with full ownership rights and eliminates concerns about ground lease payments or renewals that are common in some areas of The Hague.
Heating and hot water are supplied by an HR combi central heating boiler dating from 2010. The property holds an energy label D rating. The window frames throughout the apartment have been updated to plastic frames with double glazing, with the glazing at the rear having been more recently renewed. These features contribute to improved thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
The Homeowners Association is active and well-organized. Monthly contributions amount to 90 euros, which covers shared building expenses. Documentation regarding the association is available for review, and the association maintains a reserve fund for future maintenance needs. The HOA is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings, indicating proper governance of the building's collective interests.
Parking in the area operates under a paid parking system during evening hours from 18:00 to 24:00. Residents can apply for a parking permit through the municipality of The Hague, which provides a practical solution for vehicle ownership in this urban location.
The apartment can be made available relatively quickly upon mutual agreement, making it suitable for buyers with various timelines. A list of movable items is available and will form part of the purchase agreement, providing clarity on what is included with the property.
The purchase agreement will be established using the standard NVM purchase deed, with applicable additional clauses where necessary. The documentation for this agreement, including any additional clauses, is available for review. Buyers are free to choose their own notary within the Haaglanden working area. Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM purchasing agent who can represent their interests throughout the transaction process, potentially saving time, money, and avoiding complications.
