Key Features
Description
This apartment is situated at Noordwal 61 in the Kortenbos neighbourhood of The Hague. The property is located in the city centre, offering residents convenient access to various urban amenities including shops, restaurants, public transportation, and cultural facilities. Despite its central location, the apartment provides a relatively quiet living environment with views overlooking the canal.
The building was constructed in 1987 and the apartment is positioned on the first floor. Access to the apartment is facilitated by a lift, which adds convenience for residents. The total living area measures approximately 69 square metres, making it a compact yet functional living space suitable for individuals, couples, or those seeking a two bedroom layout in a central location.
The interior features a bright living room that connects openly to the kitchen area. This open plan arrangement creates a sense of spaciousness within the apartment. Large windows in the living area allow natural light to enter and provide views of the canal outside. The kitchen is integrated into the living space, though specific details about kitchen appliances or finishes are not specified in the listing.
The apartment contains two bedrooms, which can serve as a main sleeping area and a secondary room suitable for use as a home office, study, or guest room. This configuration offers flexibility for different living requirements. The bathroom is equipped with a walk in shower and a washbasin. A separate toilet is located on the hallway, which is a practical arrangement for both residents and visitors.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds an energy label A rating. Insulation features include double glazing and additional secondary windows (voorzetramen). Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired central heating boiler (CV ketel), which is owned by the property rather than rented.
One notable feature of this apartment is the inclusion of a private covered parking space on the enclosed inner grounds. In the centre of The Hague, private parking is considered a valuable asset given the general scarcity and cost of parking in urban areas. Additionally, there is a private storage unit (box) in the basement, measuring 6 square metres, which can be used for storing bicycles and other belongings.
The property is subject to ground lease (erfpacht), however the ground lease payment (erfpachtcanon) has been purchased in perpetuity (eeuwigdurend afgekocht), meaning there are no ongoing ground lease payments to consider.
The Homeowners Association (VvE) is active and properly organised. The monthly VvE contribution is set at 199 euros. The association is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK), holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance arranged. These indicators suggest a well managed residential complex.
The asking price for this property is 389000 euros, which translates to approximately 5638 euros per square metre of living space. The transaction costs (kosten koper) are to be borne by the buyer. The availability status is listed as available, and the transfer date is to be agreed upon (in overleg).
The Kortenbos area where this apartment is located is a well established neighbourhood in the heart of The Hague. It combines historical character with modern urban living. The immediate surroundings offer a range of daily necessities within walking distance, including grocery stores, cafes, and public transport connections. The presence of the canal view adds a distinctive element to the living experience, providing a pleasant outlook from the apartment.
For potential buyers seeking a centrally located apartment with practical features such as parking and storage, this property presents a complete package. The energy label A rating indicates relatively low energy costs, which is an important consideration for ongoing living expenses. The combination of two bedrooms, private parking, and a storage unit makes this a well equipped apartment for urban living in The Hague.
