Bright 13th-floor apartment with panoramic views and sunny southeast balcony in Rijswijk
Key Features
Description
This modern apartment is situated on the 13th floor of a residential building along Prinses Ariane Promenade in the Artiestenbuurt neighborhood of Rijswijk. The property was originally constructed in 1968 and underwent a complete transformation in 2021, resulting in a contemporary living space that meets current standards for comfort, energy efficiency, and design.
The apartment offers approximately 92 square meters of living space and is positioned to provide residents with stunning panoramic views over The Hague. The layout has been thoughtfully designed to maximize natural light and create a sense of openness throughout the living areas. The ceramic wood-look flooring in the entrance hall sets a modern tone and flows seamlessly into the main living spaces.
The heart of the apartment consists of an open-plan living room and kitchen area, measuring approximately 48 square meters combined. Large window sections dominate this space, flooding the room with daylight and offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding cityscape. The windows are equipped with Verasol automatic sunshades featuring a sun-protective coating, which helps regulate indoor temperatures and provides convenient light control throughout the day.
The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, oven, refrigerator-freezer combination, and dishwasher. The mixer tap adds a practical finishing touch to this comprehensive kitchen setup. The dining area within the kitchen space offers enough room for comfortable meals and can alternatively be configured to serve as a second bedroom if additional sleeping quarters are needed.
Access to the spacious southeast-facing balcony is gained through sliding doors from the living area. This outdoor space allows residents to enjoy the morning and midday sun while taking in the impressive views over The Hague. The balcony orientation makes it an ideal spot for relaxation, outdoor dining, or simply unwinding while watching the city below.
The bedroom is comfortably sized and well-appointed with automatic sunshades and electrically operated windows, providing residents with easy control over their sleeping environment. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower, washbasin with furniture, and a design radiator. Mechanical ventilation ensures proper air circulation in both the bathroom and the separate toilet facility, which includes a wall-mounted toilet and small sink.
Practical storage solutions include an internal storage room that houses the washing machine connection and the heat pump system. Additionally, the apartment comes with a separate storage unit in the basement, providing approximately 5 square meters of extra storage space for items that are not needed on a daily basis.
Energy performance is a standout feature of this property, which carries an A+++ energy label. The apartment is equipped with a heat pump system that provides efficient heating, while the property also features underfloor cooling for comfort during warmer months. The aluminum window frames are of the Methermo XL variety with HR++ glazing and the aforementioned sun-protective coating, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the home.
The building is well-maintained through an active homeowners association with professional management. A caretaker is present on-site five days per week, ensuring the common areas remain clean and functional. The VvE contribution is set at 261 euros per month, which covers maintenance, management, and the collective building insurance. A long-term maintenance plan is in place to ensure ongoing upkeep of the property.
The neighborhood context is worth noting. The Artiestenbuurt is described as a modern, green, and peaceful residential area. The area is spaciously laid out and is considered family-friendly. The neighborhood is currently undergoing redevelopment, which suggests potential future improvements to local amenities and infrastructure. Shopping center In de Bogaard is within walking distance, offering various shops, supermarkets, and dining options. Essential services including schools, sports facilities, and medical services are also nearby.
For nature enthusiasts, several green spaces are easily accessible including the Rijswijkse Bos, Park Overvoorde, and Elsenburgerbos, all of which provide opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation.
Transportation connectivity is excellent. Public transport options including train, bus, and tram connections provide easy access to The Hague and Delft. Major highways including the A4, A12, and A13 are readily accessible, making the rest of the Randstad region conveniently reachable by car.
The property is offered on a freehold basis with no ground lease complications. This ownership structure provides clarity regarding ongoing costs and eliminates the uncertainty sometimes associated with leasehold properties.
In summary, this apartment represents a modern, energy-efficient living option in a well-connected location. The combination of the recent renovation, high energy rating, quality finishes, panoramic views, and sunny outdoor space creates a compelling proposition for those seeking contemporary urban living in Rijswijk with excellent accessibility to surrounding cities and amenities.
