Spacious ground-floor apartment with front and back garden in Oud Rijswijk
Key Features
Description
This ground-floor apartment is situated on the Rembrandtkade in the charming Oud Rijswijk district, known as the Rembrandtkwartier. The property offers a combination of living space and outdoor areas that is relatively uncommon for apartments in this part of the Netherlands. With a total living area of 93 square meters spread across three floors, the residence provides ample room for various living arrangements.
The location in Oud Rijswijk is characterized by its peaceful atmosphere while still being conveniently close to all necessary amenities. Within the immediate vicinity, residents will find a variety of shops, restaurants, and schools, making this an area suitable for different demographics including families, couples, and individuals working in the nearby cities of The Hague and Delft. The neighborhood has a traditional Dutch character with its 1930s architecture and tree-lined streets.
It is important to note that this property is classified as a kluswoning, which means it is a fixer-upper requiring renovation work. The current owner has already removed all floor coverings throughout the property, indicating that the renovation process has been started. Potential buyers should be prepared to invest time and money to bring the property up to modern standards. The kitchen and bathroom are both described as very dated and in need of replacement.
Entering the property through the front garden, you reach the front door which opens into a long hallway. This hallway provides access to the main living areas and upper floors. The toilet room is located off the hallway and is equipped with a standing toilet and a washbasin with a vanity unit. The gas meter is also installed in this space. Further along the hallway, the bathroom is situated, featuring a washbasin with vanity unit and a bathtub with shower facilities. Both the bathroom and toilet areas are in need of modernization.
The living room extends from the front facade to the rear of the property, creating a spacious area that offers multiple possibilities for layout and furnishing. The current configuration allows for various arrangements depending on the preferences of the new owner. Options could include creating an open-plan living kitchen, or maintaining separate living and kitchen areas.
At the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen is located. The current kitchen installation is outdated and will require complete replacement. The central heating combi boiler is installed in the kitchen area. This boiler is gas-fired and included in the purchase as it is owned by the current proprietor.
The backyard is accessible from two points: a sliding door from the living room and French doors from the kitchen. The garden faces southwest, which is a favorable orientation that allows for plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. The back garden measures 43 square meters with dimensions of 7.17 meters in depth and 5.93 meters in width. At the rear of the garden stands a sizeable stone shed that has electricity and heating connections, providing useful storage space or potential for a workshop.
The first floor is reached via the staircase in the hallway. Here you will find a landing and the first bedroom, which is positioned at the rear of the property. This bedroom has access to a balcony, adding outdoor living space to the upper level.
Continuing to the second floor, there is another landing with a storage room. The second bedroom is also located at the rear of the property and similarly benefits from access to a balcony. This layout means both bedrooms enjoy the same southwest-facing orientation as the garden below.
The property was originally constructed in 1935, which is reflected in its architectural style and layout characteristics typical of that era. Despite its age, the building has been maintained to a degree that allows for comfortable living once renovations are completed. The energy label is rated C, valid until January 2036. Partial double glazing has been installed, though this indicates that not all windows have been upgraded to modern insulation standards.
A significant advantage for prospective buyers is the recent roof replacement. The flat roof has been completely renewed and fitted with a new layer of bitumen. This major maintenance item has been addressed, removing a potentially costly concern for the new owner.
The property is situated on private land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to consider. This is a favorable condition as it provides full ownership without ongoing ground lease payments.
The Owners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaars or VvE) was officially established and became active as of January 1, 2025. The monthly VvE contribution is 150 euros. The association holds annual meetings, has a joint buildings insurance policy in place, and maintains a reserve fund. However, it is noted that there is currently no formal maintenance plan (onderhoudsplan) established.
Parking in the area is regulated through a combination of paid parking and parking permit systems. Residents will need to arrange for a parking permit through the local municipality.
The asking price for this property is 365,000 euros, which is offered as a buyer's cost transaction (kosten koper). This means that additional costs such as transfer tax, notary fees, and mortgage registration costs will be borne by the buyer on top of the purchase price. The price per square meter works out to approximately 3,925 euros based on the 93 square meter living area.
This property presents an opportunity for buyers who are willing to invest in renovations to create a home tailored to their personal preferences. The combination of a ground-floor apartment with both front and back gardens, plus two bedrooms with balconies, offers a living situation that combines the benefits of apartment living with elements typically associated with single-family homes. The location in Oud Rijswijk adds to the appeal, providing a residential setting with good connections to the surrounding urban areas.
