Spacious three-level upper house with balcony in desirable Voorburg neighbourhood
Key Features
Description
This charming three-level double upper house is situated at Rhijnvis Feithstraat 11 in the popular residential area of Voorburg, offering an excellent combination of comfort, space, and convenient access to urban amenities. Built in 1937, this well-maintained property has undergone modernisations in recent years, resulting in a contemporary living space that is ready for immediate occupation.
The property features a private entrance on the ground floor, providing exclusivity and privacy. Upon entering, residents ascend to the first floor where the main living quarters are located. The bright and spacious living room occupies the front of the house, characterised by large windows that flood the space with natural daylight throughout the day. A practical sunshade on the front side offers protection from excessive sunlight during warmer months, allowing for comfortable temperature control. The living room benefits from a pleasant width that accommodates various furniture arrangements, making it suitable for both relaxation and entertainment purposes.
At the rear of the first floor, an open-plan dining area connects seamlessly with the kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, providing practical functionality for daily meal preparation. From the kitchen, sliding doors lead to the balcony, a delightful outdoor space perfect for enjoying morning coffee, casual meals, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. The balcony overlooks the peaceful rear of the property, offering a quiet spot away from street noise.
The second floor houses two generously sized bedrooms, each offering comfortable space for double beds and additional furniture. What sets this property apart is the presence of two bathrooms on this floor, a rare and valuable feature that significantly enhances daily convenience. The bathrooms are equipped with showers, toilets, washbasins, vanity units, and double washbasins, accommodating the needs of multiple residents without the typical morning congestion experienced in standard apartments. This layout makes the property particularly suitable for families, couples who frequently host guests, or professionals who require a home office setup.
The third floor reveals another spacious bedroom, currently fitted with air conditioning, making it ideal as a master bedroom where temperature control ensures comfortable sleep during hot summer nights. Alternatively, this room serves excellently as a home office, hobby room, or guest accommodation, providing flexibility to adapt to changing life circumstances.
The property spans 104 square metres of living space, supplemented by approximately 4 square metres of building-related outdoor space from the balcony. The total internal volume of the property measures 353 cubic metres, providing a generous and airy atmosphere throughout the three floors.
Energy efficiency is rated with an Energy Label D. The property features partial double glazing, contributing to improved insulation and reduced energy costs. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler that is owned by the property owner, eliminating ongoing rental costs typically associated with communal heating systems.
One of the significant advantages of this property is the freehold ownership structure. The property is sold with full ownership of the land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to worry about. This simplifies ownership and eliminates potential future costs or negotiations related to ground lease extensions or indexation adjustments.
The property is part of an active owners' association (VvE), with a monthly contribution of €141. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and maintains a reserve fund. The building is insured with standard building insurance. While there is no formal maintenance plan documented, the presence of a reserve fund indicates financial preparedness for future maintenance requirements.
The neighbourhood of Voorburg Bovenveen zuid is highly regarded for its family-friendly atmosphere and excellent quality of life. The area features tree-lined streets, a mix of architectural styles from different periods, and well-maintained public spaces. Daily amenities are conveniently located nearby, including supermarkets, specialty shops, and everyday services. The charming Herenstraat and the Julianabaan shopping centre offer diverse retail options within walking distance.
Families with children will appreciate the proximity of various educational institutions, including primary schools, secondary schools, and childcare facilities. Sports enthusiasts have access to multiple recreational facilities in the surrounding area, catering to various athletic interests.
Transportation connections are excellent. The property is well-served by public transport options, including tram, bus, and train services. The nearby Laan van NOI and Voorburg railway stations provide convenient access to regional train networks, connecting residents to The Hague city centre in a short journey, as well as to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Utrecht. Major motorway access points are reachable within minutes, facilitating car travel to destinations across the Randstad metropolitan region.
The location offers a balanced lifestyle, combining the tranquility and community atmosphere of a residential neighbourhood with the conveniences and cultural offerings of nearby urban centres. Residents can enjoy the benefits of city living without sacrificing peace and quiet at home.
Due to the property's construction year of 1937, the standard age clause and materials clause apply to the sale. These clauses acknowledge that certain elements may show signs of wear consistent with the property's age, and buyers are encouraged to conduct thorough inspections prior to finalising the purchase.
The delivery of the property will be arranged through mutual consultation between buyer and seller, allowing flexibility for coordination of moving schedules and logistical arrangements.
This property represents an attractive option for buyers seeking a spacious, well-maintained home in a sought-after neighbourhood with excellent accessibility.
