Spacious Family Home in Historic Center with Sunny Roof Terrace
Key Features
Upsides
- Spacious 155 square meter living area in a central location with good connections to public transport and major highways.
- Roof was completely renewed in 2020 and most windows have been upgraded to low maintenance plastic frames.
- Two outdoor spaces available: an 18 square meter backyard and a sunny roof terrace on the second floor.
- Child friendly neighborhood with a closed playground directly behind the property.
- Immediate delivery possible, allowing for a quick and smooth transition for buyers.
Downsides
- Built in 1923 with an age clause applicable, which may indicate potential hidden maintenance issues despite recent upgrades.
- Energy label C suggests the property is not very energy efficient, potentially leading to higher heating costs.
- Parking requires a permit or paid parking, adding ongoing costs and potential inconvenience for residents with vehicles.
- The second floor currently has only one room with the option to create an additional room, meaning the fourth bedroom would need construction work.
- The backyard is relatively small at 18 square meters and faces northwest, limiting afternoon and evening sunlight.
Description
This spacious five to six room family home is located on a quiet street in the old center of Rijswijk. The property offers approximately 155 square meters of living space and features an open kitchen, utility room, city garden, four bedrooms, and a sunny roof terrace. The home is ideally situated within walking distance of Park Hofrust and the Herenstraat, where residents can find pleasant restaurants, lunchrooms, supermarkets, and various specialty shops.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a vestibule containing the meter cupboard. From here, a hallway provides access to a storage closet under the stairs and a tidy toilet room with a fountain. The living and dining area extends along the length of the house and features sliding doors that open directly to the city garden at the rear. The open kitchen is equipped with a modern setup including a five burner gas hob and an extractor hood. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room that houses a built-in combination oven, washing machine connection, the CV combination boiler, and offers additional space for positioning various kitchen appliances.
The first floor can be reached via the staircase in the hallway. The landing provides access to a front room, a front side room, and a neat bathroom with a Mediterranean atmosphere. The bathroom is fitted with a spacious walk-in shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit. Also located on this floor is a large rear bedroom, providing ample space for a double bed and additional furniture.
The second floor houses an attic room that currently offers flexible space. According to the listing, there is a possibility to create an additional room in this area. From the attic room, you have direct access to the sunny roof terrace, which is a lovely outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining during warmer months.
The property is located in a child friendly environment, and there is even a closed playground situated behind the house, which is a significant advantage for families with young children.
In terms of location, this home scores well on various aspects. Tram stops for lines 1 and 15 are approximately 300 meters away on foot. The entrance to the highway network, including the A4, A12, and A13, can be reached within five minutes by car. The center of The Hague is approximately 15 minutes away by bicycle. For daily shopping and dining, the nearby Herenstraat offers a variety of restaurants, lunchrooms, and specialty stores.
Regarding the technical specifications, the property has a usable living area of approximately 155 square meters. The building dates from 1923, which means an age clause applies to the sale. The roof was renewed in 2020, which is a recent and valuable improvement. The windows are largely fitted with plastic frames, which require less maintenance than traditional wooden frames. The energy label is C, and the property has roof insulation and double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant gas fired combination boiler from 2013, which is owned by the current owners.
The outdoor spaces consist of a backyard of 18 square meters, measuring 5.65 meters deep and 3.13 meters wide, oriented to the northwest. Additionally, there is a roof terrace present on the property. The building bound outdoor space totals 16 square meters. The plot size is 90 square meters, and the volume of the building is 529 cubic meters.
Parking in the area is regulated and requires a permit. Options include paid parking, public parking, and parking permits. The property is a terraced house built as existing construction, with a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The property is offered with a partial furnishing, and delivery can take place immediately.
The cadastral designation is RIJSWIJK A 2045, with a plot area of 90 square meters and full ownership. The house has three residential floors in total and is equipped with a TV cable connection.
This property presents itself as a spacious family home in a central yet quiet location. The combination of the recently renewed roof, plastic window frames, and a relatively modern heating installation from 2013 means that several major maintenance items have already been addressed. The presence of both a backyard and a roof terrace offers two distinct outdoor living spaces. The location near public transport, highways, and the center of The Hague makes this a well connected home for commuters and those who enjoy urban amenities.
The asking price is 595,000 euros, which translates to approximately 3,839 euros per square meter of living space. Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM purchase agent to represent their interests during the transaction process.
