Charming Ground-Floor Studio in Historic Willemspark Monument

This property is a ground-floor studio located at Prinses Mariestraat 6-A in the Willemspark district of Den Haag. The apartment is situated within a national monument building that dates back to 1882. The building forms part of the characteristic architectural fabric that defines this particular area of the city.

The Willemspark neighborhood is regarded as one of the most sought-after residential areas in Den Haag. Prinses Mariestraat itself enjoys a reputation for its central location and the distinctive character of its buildings. The immediate surroundings offer residents access to the Denneweg and Frederikstraat, two streets known for their variety of shops, specialty stores, restaurants, and cafes. The city center of Den Haag is within walking distance, as is Den Haag Centraal Station. Various main roads leading out of the city are also easily accessible from this location.

The studio has a living area of approximately 28 square meters according to the official measurements, though the listing also mentions approximately 29 square meters in the features section. The total volume of the property is 101 cubic meters. The apartment occupies a single level on the ground floor of the building.

Access to the property is through a shared entrance at street level. From the communal hallway, the entrance to the studio is directly accessible. The interior of the studio consists of one main living space where both living and sleeping functions are combined. This single room receives natural light and has been arranged to allow for efficient use of the available floor area.

The kitchen is positioned as a separate room from the main living area. It is described as practical in its setup and includes electric cooking facilities, an oven, and a refrigerator. The presence of electric cooking aligns with the gas-free designation of the property.

The bathroom has been finished in a modern style and includes a walk-in shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. The listing describes the finish as neat and properly completed.

A notable feature of the layout is the storage space located above the kitchen area. This storage area has natural light from a window and serves as the location for the washing machine and dryer connections. This elevated storage solution adds practical utility to the compact floor plan without consuming additional floor space in the main living areas.

The property operates without gas connections, making it a gas-free residence. Heating is provided through electric heating systems, and hot water is supplied via an electric boiler. The energy label for the property is rated as G, which reflects the energy efficiency characteristics of a building from 1882 that has not undergone comprehensive energy efficiency upgrades.

The building is classified as a national monument, which imposes certain restrictions and considerations regarding alterations and maintenance. The listing explicitly states that both the age clause and the materials clause will be included in the NVM purchase agreement. These clauses are standard in transactions involving older properties and monuments, serving to acknowledge that certain materials and construction methods reflect the period of construction and that buyers accept the property in its current state regarding these historical elements.

Additionally, a non-occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement. This clause is relevant when the property is purchased as an investment and the buyer does not intend to occupy the property themselves.

The property is part of a homeowners association, abbreviated as VvE in Dutch. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce. Regular annual meetings are held, and a periodic contribution of 65 euros per month is required from each unit owner. The association maintains a reserve fund, and building insurance is in place. However, the listing indicates that no formal maintenance plan has been established.

Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking and parking permit systems. The listing notes the property is located on a quiet road, which may be relevant for noise considerations despite the proximity to busier commercial streets.

The asking price for the property is 279,000 euros, payable as costs to the buyer, which is the standard transaction structure in the Netherlands where the buyer pays transfer taxes and notary fees. Based on the listed square meterage, this equates to approximately 9,964 euros per square meter.

The listing identifies three potential buyer profiles for this property. First, it is presented as suitable for starters entering the property market, likely attracted by the central location and the manageable size. Second, it is positioned for those seeking a pied-a-terre, a secondary residence for occasional use in the city. Third, it is mentioned as a potential investment property, which aligns with the inclusion of the non-occupancy clause in the purchase agreement.

The property is currently available on the market. The listing was posted on Funda with a listing period extending to April 25, 2026, which appears to be the maximum listing duration rather than an indication of availability constraints.

In summary, this studio apartment offers a compact living space in a historically significant building within one of Den Haag's desirable residential neighborhoods. The gas-free status reflects modern considerations, while the monument status connects the property to the architectural heritage of the area. The efficient layout, the separate kitchen, and the practical storage solution above the kitchen address the spatial constraints inherent in a 28 square meter apartment. The location provides immediate access to urban amenities while maintaining a quiet street position.
