Description
This ground floor apartment is located on Renswoudelaan in the Leyenburg district of The Hague. The property offers approximately 75 to 76 square meters of living space and features a practical layout with four rooms in total, including three bedrooms. Built in 1928, this apartment represents an opportunity for buyers looking to customize a home according to their personal taste and preferences.
The entrance to the apartment is situated on the ground floor and includes a fixed storage closet for coats and shoes. The living room is located at the front of the property and benefits from large windows that allow natural light to enter the space. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which comes equipped with built-in appliances for convenient meal preparation.
The sleeping quarters consist of three bedrooms, providing flexibility for various household compositions. The first and largest bedroom is positioned at the rear of the property and offers access to both the basement storage area and the backyard garden. The second bedroom is also located at the rear, while the third room can serve as either a bedroom or a home office, depending on the needs of the residents.
The bathroom is fitted with a shower, a double vanity unit, a toilet, and a heated towel radiator. This configuration allows for efficient use of the available space while providing all essential sanitary facilities.
One of the notable features of this property is the west-facing backyard measuring approximately 29 square meters. The garden has dimensions of 4.50 meters in depth and 6.44 meters in width. A canopy structure has been installed in the garden, providing sheltered outdoor seating space. Additionally, the backyard includes a freestanding stone storage shed and benefits from a private side gate, offering direct access to the garden without having to pass through the apartment.
The Leyenburg neighborhood is characterized as a family-friendly area with a relatively high proportion of households and younger residents aged between 25 and 44 years. The location offers good accessibility to various amenities and services. A supermarket can be reached on foot, while the Leyweg shopping center, which provides a comprehensive range of shops and services, is within cycling distance. The center of The Hague is also accessible by bicycle.
For public transportation users, The Hague Moerwijk station is located within cycling distance, facilitating connections to other parts of the city and beyond. The nearby Zuiderpark, one of the largest parks in The Hague, offers ample space for sports and recreational activities and is conveniently close to the property.
Motorists will appreciate the proximity to major arterial roads, allowing quick access to the A4 highway heading towards Amsterdam or Rotterdam.
The apartment is heated by a gas-fired central heating boiler that is owned by the property. The energy label is rated F, indicating that the property has relatively lower energy efficiency compared to more recently renovated or constructed buildings. Natural ventilation is present in the apartment, and a TV cable connection is available.
The property is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) with a monthly contribution of approximately 162 euros. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance.
The land on which the property stands is owned outright (volle eigendom), meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The asking price is 289,500 euros, payable by the buyer (kosten koper). The price per square meter of living space is approximately 3,809 euros.
It should be noted that the property is described as being in a simple state of maintenance, suggesting that updates and renovations may be desired by future owners. A non-occupancy clause applies to the sale, meaning the current owner will not reside in the property at the time of transfer. Given the construction year of 1928, an age and materials clause will be included in the NVM purchase agreement regardless of the actual condition of the property.
Parking in the area is available through paid public parking and requires a permit system. The apartment is available for immediate occupancy upon completion of the purchase.
This property presents itself as a practical ground floor apartment in a well-connected and family-oriented neighborhood, offering outdoor space and the potential for personal customization to suit the preferences of its new owners.

Safety & Accessibility
Elevator
The building was constructed in 1928 and the apartment is on the ground floor. Elevators are not mentioned and are highly unlikely for this building type and age.
Intercom
The property has its own ground floor entrance, which typically negates the need for an intercom system to grant access through a shared lobby.

Gated Community
The property is located in a regular residential neighborhood (Leyenburg) on a quiet road, which is not a gated community.
Wheelchair Accessible
Being a ground-floor apartment with a private entrance provides high basic accessibility. However, the 1928 construction year and 'simple state of maintenance' mean there could be interior steps or high bathroom thresholds that are not mentioned.
Utilities & Technical
Laundry Room
The layout describes a living room, kitchen, 3 bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shed, but no separate laundry room.
Smart Home
The property is from 1928 and is described as being in a 'simple state of maintenance', making smart home features highly unlikely.

Cable Tv
The listing explicitly states 'TV kabel' (TV cable) under facilities.
Water Softener
Water softeners are very uncommon in Dutch apartments from 1928 and are not mentioned in the listing.
Energy Efficiency
Solar Panels
Not mentioned in the listing. With an F energy label and a 1928 building, solar panels are highly unlikely to be present.
Double Glazing
Not mentioned in the listing. A 1928 building with an F energy label strongly suggests original single glazing or at best outdated double glazing that would not be highlighted as a feature.
Triple Glazing
Not mentioned and highly improbable for a 1928 building with an F energy label. Triple glazing would significantly improve the energy rating.
Wall Insulation
Not mentioned in the listing. A 1928 building with an F energy label and 'eenvoudige staat van onderhoud' (basic state of maintenance) indicates no significant wall insulation has been added.
Floor Insulation
Not mentioned in the listing. Ground floor apartment from 1928 with F energy label suggests no floor insulation has been installed.
Heat Pump
The listing explicitly states heating is via 'Cv-ketel' (gas boiler) and warm water is from 'Cv-ketel, Gas gestookt'. No heat pump is present.
Home Battery
Not mentioned and highly improbable. Home batteries are typically installed alongside solar panels, which are not present.
Other Energy Efficiency Measures
No other energy efficiency measures are mentioned. The listing describes 'natuurlijke ventilatie' (natural ventilation) which is basic and not an energy efficiency upgrade. The F energy label and 'eenvoudige staat van onderhoud' confirm no significant energy improvements have been made.
