The electrical installation provides four circuits with a residual current device for safety. The property is connected to mechanical ventilation, features exterior sun blinds, and includes sliding patio doors providing seamless access to the garden.

The property is held on freehold land, meaning you own the land outright without leasehold obligations. The building has a composite roof typical of properties from this era.

The Owners Association is active and well-managed, with a monthly contribution of 95 euros. The association demonstrates good governance with its registration in the Chamber of Commerce, regular annual meetings, a structured maintenance plan, a reserve fund for future repairs, and collective building insurance to protect all owners' interests.

Parking in the area is available through a combination of paid public parking and parking permit options, providing flexibility for residents and their visitors.

Given the property's construction date of 1939, an asbestos and age clause will be included in the purchase agreement as a precautionary measure. Additionally, as the current owner has not personally resided in the property, a not occupied by seller clause will also be incorporated into the purchase agreement.

The property is being marketed by Duynhage Makelaardij, which operates with a bidding logbook as required by regulations introduced in January 2023. Interested parties are required to submit their bids through the property's dedicated website. The purchase agreement will be based on the standard NVM purchase agreement format along with Duynhage Makelaardij's specific sales conditions. The chosen notary will be located in the Haaglanden region, with the buyer having the right to select the notary.

This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a ground floor home that successfully combines the convenience of urban living with the luxury of a private, sun-drenched garden. The thoughtful layout, modern kitchen and bathroom, period character, and excellent location create a compelling package that is sure to appeal to a wide range of buyers.
