Description
Emerald Résidences presents a unique collection of hidden city gems, offering a distinctive living experience in one of the most desirable areas of the city. The property, originally constructed in 1918, has been meticulously transformed with respect for its history and a clear vision for the future. This transformation has resulted in seven high-quality apartments, complemented by six private parking spaces and individual storage units for each residence. The guiding principle behind the renovation was to preserve the historic allure and characteristic woodwork of the original building while seamlessly integrating the living comfort and technical standards required for modern life. The residences meet the stringent requirements for energy label A or A+, ensuring excellent insulation against heat, cold, and sound. This focus on efficiency provides a comfortable, quiet, and sustainable living environment that fits perfectly with the demands of today while being fully prepared for the future.
The location on Raamweg is renowned for its stately architecture and lush, green appearance. This prestigious address offers a perfect balance between urban vibrancy and natural tranquility. In the immediate vicinity, residents have access to high-quality shopping streets, specialty stores, and a diverse range of restaurants, cafes, and cultural venues. Despite its central location, nature is surprisingly close by, with parks, forests, dunes, and the beach providing ample space for relaxation and fresh air. This residential environment effortlessly connects the lively atmosphere of the city with the peaceful rest of nature. Furthermore, the location is exceptionally accessible. The highways towards Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Utrecht can be reached quickly, while The Hague Central Station and various public transport facilities are just a short distance away. Parking takes place on private grounds, offering a comfortable, safe, and worry-free solution for vehicle owners in a city where parking is often scarce.
Apartment Eloise, located on the third floor, offers a chic and sophisticated living space. Access is provided through a stately entrance on Raamweg featuring a vestibule, with options to ascend via the stairs or a lift to the second floor where the apartment is situated. Upon entering the apartment, one arrives in a spacious hall that provides access to a separate guest toilet room equipped with a fountain. There is also a practical storage room in the hall that houses the central heating boiler and features connections for a washing machine and dryer. The living room is a highlight of the apartment, featuring double doors that open to the balcony, allowing for an abundance of natural light and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The open luxury kitchen is adjacent to the living area and is fully equipped with modern appliances including an induction cooktop with a downdraft system, a combination oven, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer combination, and a Quooker for instant boiling water.
The apartment features a spacious bedroom located at the rear of the building, ensuring a quiet and restful atmosphere away from the street noise. The bathroom is modern and stylishly appointed, featuring a walk-in shower and a vanity unit. A notable feature of the apartment is the ceiling height of approximately 2.7 meters, which contributes to a sense of space and grandeur rarely found in modern constructions. The property is fully insulated to the highest standards. Heating is provided by a central heating boiler installed in 2026, and the entire apartment is fitted with underfloor heating, ensuring a comfortable temperature throughout the year without the need for radiators that clutter the walls. The energy performance is optimal with an A+ rating, and mechanical ventilation contributes to a healthy indoor climate. The total living area measures approximately 57 square meters, with a volume of about 190 cubic meters. The balcony adds an additional 7 square meters of outdoor space, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine.
The technical aspects of this property are designed to offer maximum comfort and efficiency. The floor heating system provides a consistent warmth across the entire apartment, enhancing the feeling of luxury. The mechanical ventilation system ensures a constant supply of fresh air, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment, especially in a well-insulated home. The apartment is part of a protected city or village view, ensuring the preservation of the characteristic appearance of the neighborhood for years to come. The roof is a composite structure covered with bituminous roofing material and slate, adding to the durability and aesthetic appeal of the building. The transformation of the building was completed in 2026, ensuring that all technical installations and finishes are brand new and up to date with current regulations and standards.
Living in Emerald Résidences means residing in a home that offers both character and modern convenience. The combination of the historic 1918 facade with the high-quality finish of the 2026 transformation creates a unique atmosphere that respects the past while embracing the future. The lift ensures easy access to the third floor, making the apartment suitable for a wide range of residents, from young professionals to active seniors. The specific layout maximizes the use of space, with the open kitchen and living area forming the heart of the home. The presence of a Quooker and a downdraft extractor in the kitchen are examples of the attention to detail and luxury found throughout the property. The location on Raamweg is highly sought after due to its proximity to the center of The Hague while maintaining a peaceful and green ambiance.
The practicalities of ownership have been carefully considered. The property is situated on owned land, meaning there is no leasehold, which provides financial security and peace of mind. There is an active Owners Association (VvE) responsible for the management of the building. The monthly contribution for the apartment and storage unit is 192.58 euros. The building is insured with building insurance, and the KvK registration is in order. For those requiring parking, a private parking space is available for purchase at a price of 35,000 euros, costs to buyer. This is a significant advantage in this location, offering a secure and private parking solution on the premises. The external storage provides ample space for bicycles or seasonal items, helping to keep the apartment clutter-free and organized. This apartment represents a unique opportunity to acquire a modern, energy-efficient home in a historic setting in the heart of The Hague.
