Key Features
Description
Located in the desirable Regentessekwartier district of The Hague, this property at Regentesselaan 163 offers a unique living experience in a well-established residential area. The apartment is situated on a wide, green avenue that reflects the characteristic urban planning of this neighbourhood. The location provides residents with convenient access to various amenities while maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere.
The Regentessekwartier is known for its attractive streetscape and the property is part of a municipally protected townscape, which ensures the architectural character of the area is preserved. The building dates back to 1911, and throughout the years, many original features have been maintained, giving the interior a distinctive period character that appeals to those who appreciate historic architecture.
The immediate surroundings offer a range of facilities within walking distance. The charming Regentesseplein is just a stone's throw away, providing a pleasant spot for relaxation and socialising. The Weimarstraat with its diverse selection of shops is easily accessible, as are the retail offerings on the Reinkenstraat, Fahrenheitstraat, and Frederik Hendriklaan. For families, the popular sports and play park De Verademing is nearby, offering playground facilities and sports fields.
Public transport connections are excellent, with RandstadRail lines 2, 3, and 4 as well as tram lines 11 and 12 within walking distance. For those who prefer cycling, both the beach at Scheveningen and the city centre of The Hague can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by bike. The dunes, Scheveningen Harbour, and the sea are also readily accessible for recreational activities. Motorists benefit from convenient access to the Hubertustunnel and Westland Route. The area is also well-served by educational facilities, including the European School of The Hague and various primary schools.
The property is classified as a ground floor plus upper floor apartment, with a total living area of approximately 104 square metres and a volume of 425 cubic metres. The layout spans two residential levels and comprises four rooms in total, including two bedrooms. The apartment features double glazing throughout, fitted in synthetic window frames that combine modern insulation performance with low maintenance requirements.
Upon entering the property, one is greeted by a vestibule with a swing door that leads to the hallway. The hallway features attractive floor tiles and includes an understairs cupboard for storage. A separate toilet room with a hand basin is conveniently located off the hallway.
The living and dining room forms the heart of the ground floor. This space benefits from abundant natural light entering through large windows. A distinctive feature is the authentic stained-glass sliding separation that divides the room while maintaining visual connection between the areas. Four built-in wardrobes are incorporated into this separation, providing practical storage solutions. The room is further enhanced by two original black marble fireplaces and high ornamental ceilings that contribute to the period atmosphere of the interior.
The kitchen is accessible from both the hallway and the dining room, offering flexibility in the flow of daily activities. It features a Bruynzeel Piet Zwart design inspired by 1930s aesthetics, combining retro styling with modern functionality. The kitchen is equipped with a six-burner gas stove, a fridge-freezer combination, and a dishwasher. The condition of the kitchen is described as good.
French doors from the living area open to the sheltered backyard, which faces southwest, making it an inviting outdoor space for much of the day. The garden measures 20 square metres, with dimensions of 7.14 metres in depth and 2.74 metres in width.
A stained-glass door leads from the main living area to the rear extension, which houses the master bedroom. This room is spacious and includes two built-in wardrobes. The walls and ceiling feature original mouldings that add to the character of the space. Double doors provide direct access to the backyard, allowing for a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.
The bathroom is modern and well-appointed, featuring a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with washbasin, and underfloor heating for comfort. An opening skylight provides natural light and ventilation. The condition of the sanitary facilities is described as good.
A staircase leads from the ground floor to the first floor landing, which provides access to a spacious second bedroom. This room includes a built-in wardrobe. According to the listing, there is the possibility to convert this bedroom into two smaller bedrooms, offering flexibility to adapt the layout to individual needs.
The property benefits from a central heating system supplied by a Remeha Tzerra combi boiler, which is gas-fired and reported to be from 2026. This boiler provides both heating and hot water. The current energy label is D, which is typical for a property of this age, though the presence of double glazing and a relatively modern heating system suggests potential for improved energy performance.
The apartment is held in full ownership, meaning it is situated on own ground rather than leasehold. This is a significant advantage in the Dutch property market as it eliminates ground rent obligations and provides greater certainty regarding property rights.
The property is part of an active Owners Association with a monthly contribution of 126.60 euros. The VvE is properly organised with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, a maintenance plan, a reserve fund, and building insurance in place. The owner holds a two-fifths share in the community. Sewerage charges for 2026 are stated at 195.40 euros per year.
A structural survey has been conducted on the property, which provides prospective buyers with additional confidence regarding the building's condition. Both the interior and exterior maintenance situations are described as good. The electrical installation comprises 10 groups with 3 earth leakage circuit breakers and a main switch.
The purchase will be subject to the standard NVM model deed, and the lead, asbestos, and age clauses will apply, which is standard practice for older properties. The buyer has freedom of choice regarding the notary, provided the notary is located within the Haaglanden region. The acceptance date is to be agreed upon between buyer and seller.
Parking in the area is provided through public parking spaces with a permit system, which is typical for this part of The Hague. Measurements in the listing are based on the NEN2580 standard, which aims to provide consistent measurement methodology, though minor variations in interpretation may occur.
