Spacious Townhouse with Forest View Guest House in Vogelwijk

This spacious townhouse is located on Nieboerweg in the popular Vogelwijk neighborhood of The Hague. The property was originally built around 1925 and has been thoughtfully updated over the years, most notably with an extensive ground floor renovation completed in 2010. The home offers approximately 201 square meters of living space spread across multiple levels, situated on a plot of 407 square meters that includes a remarkably deep garden backing directly onto a forest area.

The location is particularly noteworthy. The Vogelwijk is a well regarded neighborhood known for its character and proximity to natural surroundings. Residents here benefit from being within walking distance of the sea and dunes, making it an attractive area for those who appreciate coastal living. The rear of this specific property borders directly onto a forested area, creating an unusual connection to nature that is rarely found in an urban setting.

The ground floor was substantially renovated in 2010 by the current owner. During this renovation, an insulated concrete floor with underfloor heating was installed throughout the ground level. The work also included the construction of an extension, installation of a new kitchen, complete electrical updates, new plasterwork, replacement of the sewage system, and the laying of attractive tile flooring. The guest accommodation in the garden was also realized during this same renovation period, built with proper permits by a professional contractor.

Upon entering through the front garden, which provides one private parking space and a convenient sunken bicycle storage area, you reach the hallway. This entrance area contains multiple storage cabinets and a modern electrical panel with residual current devices. A floating toilet with washbasin is located in the hall. The ground floor benefits from the insulated concrete floor and underfloor heating installed during the 2010 renovation.

The living room is notably spacious and bright, enhanced by electrically operated skylights in the extension that allow natural light to flood the space. The open kitchen features a central island with sink, an American style refrigerator, a large oven with a five burner gas cooktop, a dishwasher, a composite work surface, and ample storage capacity. A hatch in the kitchen floor provides access to a basement space that does not have standing height but serves as an ideal wine storage area. This basement also connects to the crawl space beneath the main house.

The garden is oriented to the northeast and is divided into two distinct sections by the guest accommodation. Despite the orientation, the free position and considerable depth of the garden ensure that both sunny and shaded areas are available throughout the day. The front section of the garden is generously proportioned and landscaped with greenery. The rear section, located behind the guest house, offers exceptional privacy and creates the feeling of being in the middle of a forest. Various bird species can be observed here, and the atmosphere is one of serene tranquility. The current owner has noted that practicing with a band in the basement beneath the guest house caused no disturbance to neighbors, highlighting the sound isolation properties of this underground space.

The guest accommodation situated in the garden serves multiple purposes. It can function as a guest room, home office, or music studio. The structure includes its own bathroom with toilet and a separate CV boiler (Remeha Avanta, installed in 2010) for independent heating. The unique feature of this space is the concrete basement beneath it, which the current owner used for band rehearsals. This basement is equipped with a specially designed sound reducing ventilation system. Due to its underground location, noise does not reach neighboring properties. The construction consists of a concrete base with a timber frame upper section finished with low maintenance plastic exterior cladding.

The first floor is accessed via a fixed staircase leading to a landing with a toilet and washbasin. At the front of the house there is a cabinet and a very spacious, bright room with built in closets. The rear of this floor contains the master bedroom, which features a balcony overlooking the garden and forest. The bathroom on this level is accessible both from the master bedroom and from the landing. This bathroom includes a bathtub, underfloor heating, a washing machine connection, a shower, and a washbasin.

The second floor is reached via another fixed staircase opening onto a spacious landing with a washbasin and significant storage space behind the knee walls. Two spacious bedrooms are located at the rear of this floor, both offering beautiful views of the forest and the deep garden below.

The property is classified with energy label C. Insulation measures include roof insulation, partial double glazing, and floor insulation. The main house is heated by a Remeha Avanta gas combination boiler from 2016, which is owned by the seller. Window frames are a combination of wood and plastic with double glazing, though the front door contains single glazing. A smart thermostat system allows individual temperature control for each bedroom.

The property is situated on municipal leasehold land (erfpacht), with the ground rent (canon) having been perpetually paid off, meaning no ongoing leasehold payments are required. The Vogelwijk is designated as a protected cityscape (Beschermd Stadsgezicht). Paid parking applies in the area from 18:00 to 24:00, though the property includes one parking space on its own grounds. A list of movable items will form part of the purchase agreement, and a comprehensive seller questionnaire is available for inspection.

The total volume of the building is approximately 688 cubic meters. The property contains eight rooms in total, including five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two separate toilets. The external storage space of 10 square meters consists of a freestanding wooden shed without insulation. The built on outdoor space measures 18 square meters. The cadastral designation is The Hague, section AO, number 534, with a size of 4 are and 7 centiare.
