The Vruchtenbuurt neighborhood where this property is located is known as a green and characterful area with an appealing residential environment. The streets are generally quiet and the architecture from the 1930s contributes to a pleasant streetscape. This has made the neighborhood popular among families, starters, and people looking to move up the property ladder. Daily amenities are readily available within walking distance, including the shopping center De Savornin Lohmanplein and the lively Vlierboomstraat and Appelstraat. These areas offer a varied selection of shops, supermarkets, specialty stores, and dining establishments.
For recreation and relaxation, the location is particularly favorable. Within approximately ten minutes by bicycle, residents can reach the beach, dunes, and boulevard of Kijkduin or Scheveningen. This proximity to the coast provides opportunities for walking, sports activities, or simply enjoying a day by the sea. Additionally, various sports clubs, parks, and recreational facilities are present in the immediate vicinity.
The neighborhood benefits from excellent public transport connections. Tram and bus stops are within short walking distance and provide quick and direct access to the city center of The Hague, The Hague Central Station, and other parts of the city. Various arterial roads are also easily accessible. Several primary, secondary, and international schools can be reached conveniently by bicycle.
Upon entering the property through the front door, you arrive in the hallway that provides access to the various rooms. On the left side, the first bedroom is located, which is a pleasant space that can also serve well as a study, guest room, or children's room. Further along the hallway is the spacious bathroom, which is equipped with a walk-in shower and a toilet. At the end of the hallway is the second bedroom, which means the sleeping areas are practically separated from each other.
Directly to the right of the entrance is the spacious living room. Due to the generous layout, pleasant arrangement, and good natural light, this living space feels particularly comfortable. Adjacent to the living room is an additional room that is currently set up as a third bedroom, but can also function well as a workspace, playroom, or hobby room. The partially open kitchen is adjacent to the living room and is generously proportioned, creating a pleasant connection between cooking and living.
From the living area, you step into the attached conservatory, which forms a nice transition to the garden. The conservatory also contains practical storage space with a washing machine connection, which is ideal for additional storage and household use. From there, you reach the very spacious and well-maintained garden, where there is ample space to relax, garden, or sit outside. At the back of the garden is an attractive freestanding outbuilding that is currently set up as a comfortable workspace, offering a quiet place with a view of greenery.
The garden faces southeast and has a depth of 19 meters and a width of 6.75 meters, totaling 128 square meters. The garden is accessible via a rear path. The freestanding stone outbuilding in the garden is equipped with electricity, heating, and running water, making it suitable for various uses throughout the year.
The apartment has a total content of 330 cubic meters. In addition to the 75 square meters of living space, there is 29 square meters of other indoor space and 12 square meters of external storage. The property is located on the ground floor and has one living level.
Regarding energy efficiency, the property has an energy label D. The insulation consists of partially double glazing and HR glass. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler that is owned by the current owner. The property has natural ventilation and a TV cable connection.
The building was constructed in 1936 and has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. Due to the age of the property, an age clause applies in the purchase agreement. The property is located on owned land, which means there is no ground lease.
The property is part of an active homeowners association with a monthly contribution of 131 euros. The share in the community is 16/48. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a periodic contribution, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan, and has building insurance in place.
