Description
This ready-to-move-in apartment offers a unique living experience situated on the 16th floor of a modern building. The residence is located in The Hague, specifically on the border towards the Westland region, providing a perfect balance between urban accessibility and natural tranquility. With a living area of approximately 81 square meters, the home is designed to maximize comfort and light. The most striking feature of this property is undoubtedly the view. From this high vantage point, residents can enjoy a completely unobstructed panorama that encompasses the sea, the city skyline, the dunes, and the surrounding greenery. This type of unrestricted view is a rarity found only on the highest floors of the building, ensuring a sense of freedom and space that is hard to match.
Upon entering the building on the ground floor, residents are greeted by a representative entrance hall complete with a bell board, mailboxes, and access to the lifts and the parking garage. The apartment itself is situated on the 16th floor, accessible via a lift which opens up into a private entrance hall. The entire apartment has been finished with a modern PVC floor and plastered walls, creating a clean and contemporary aesthetic that requires no further work from the buyer. The hallway provides access to all rooms and houses the meter cupboard, a separate toilet with a washbasin, and a technical utility room. The layout is practical and efficient, ensuring that every square meter of the 81 meters is utilized effectively.
The heart of the home is the bright and airy living room. Large windows dominate the space, allowing natural light to flood in and framing the spectacular views. The living room flows seamlessly onto a spacious balcony covering 12 square meters. This outdoor space faces southwest, making it an ideal spot to enjoy the sun from the afternoon until the evening. Whether you are having breakfast in the morning light or relaxing with a glass of wine at sunset, the balcony serves as a perfect extension of the living space, offering the open view as a constant backdrop. The southwest orientation is highly desirable as it provides a good balance of sunlight throughout the latter part of the day without the potential overheating that can sometimes occur with full southern exposure in the summer.
Adjacent to the living area is the open kitchen, which is fully fitted and equipped with high-quality built-in appliances. The kitchen includes a fridge-freezer combination, an induction cooktop, an extractor hood, a combi-oven, and a dishwasher. The open design allows for interaction with family or guests while cooking, maintaining a sociable atmosphere in the home. The modern finishes and integrated appliances contribute to the turnkey nature of the property, allowing new owners to settle in immediately without the need for renovations or upgrades.
The apartment boasts two spacious bedrooms, making it suitable for couples, small families, or individuals requiring a home office. The rooms are versatile and can easily be arranged to serve as sleeping quarters, a workspace, or a hobby room. The flexibility of the layout is a significant advantage, adapting to the changing needs of the residents over time. The large windows in the bedrooms ensure that the view and the sense of light are present in every corner of the home. The high floor location not only provides great views but also ensures a high degree of privacy and peace and quiet, as there is no overlooking from neighboring buildings and the noise from the street is far below.
The bathroom is fully tiled and finished with additional custom work. It features a second toilet, a walk-in shower, a washbasin, and an electric towel radiator. The presence of a second toilet in the bathroom adds convenience, particularly for guests or families. The bathroom is also equipped with floor heating, enhancing the comfort level on chilly days. The attention to detail in the finishing, such as the tiling and the fixtures, underscores the quality of the construction and the modern standard of the apartment.
In terms of technical specifications, the apartment is very modern and energy-efficient. It is equipped with an underfloor heating and cooling system, allowing for temperature control throughout the year. Heating and hot water are provided via district heating, also known as a heat network, which is a sustainable and efficient alternative to individual gas boilers. The property features plastic window frames with HR+++ triple glazing. This type of glazing offers a very high insulation value, which contributes to the low energy costs and a comfortable indoor climate. The energy label is A++, indicating that the property performs exceptionally well in terms of energy efficiency. This is not only beneficial for the environment but also results in lower monthly energy bills for the resident.
The location of the apartment is highly convenient. Situated on the outskirts of The Hague towards the Westland, the area offers a peaceful living environment while remaining well-connected to urban amenities. The nature reserve Madestein and the dunes are just a short distance away, offering ample opportunities for walking, cycling, and enjoying nature. The beach of Kijkduin is also easily accessible by bike, providing a quick escape to the coast for a day of relaxation by the sea. For daily needs, shops, schools, sports clubs, and public transport are all within easy reach. The accessibility by car is excellent, with various major roads leading to The Hague, Rotterdam, and Amsterdam reachable within a few minutes. This makes the apartment an ideal base for commuters working in the Randstad area.
Financially, the property offers several advantages. The ground lease is perpetually paid off, meaning there are no periodic canon payments to be made. This is a significant financial benefit as it removes a recurring cost and increases the net value of the property. The asking price excludes the parking space, which is located in the underground garage. However, there is an option to purchase a parking space separately for 45,000 euros. Having private parking in a city like The Hague is a valuable asset, adding to the convenience of the living situation.
The Owners Association, or VvE, is active and healthy. The monthly contribution for the apartment is 145.55 euros, which covers the maintenance of common areas and the building. If the parking space is purchased, there is an additional contribution of 37.45 euros per month. The presence of a healthy VvE is important for the long-term maintenance of the property and ensures that the building remains in good condition. There is a multi-year maintenance plan in place, and the building is insured, providing security for the owners.
It is important to note that a non-resident clause applies to this property. This means that the property is intended for use as a primary residence by the owner, ensuring a stable community of residents within the building. The delivery of the home is by mutual agreement, offering some flexibility in the moving process. In summary, this apartment on the 16th floor represents a fantastic opportunity for those looking for a modern, move-in ready home with a unique view in a central yet green location. The combination of high-quality finishes, energy-efficient specifications, and the prime location on the edge of the city makes this a highly desirable property for a wide range of potential buyers.
