Description
Located in the sought-after Vogelwijk neighborhood of The Hague, this characterful eight-room corner house occupies a generous plot of 402 square meters. The property was built in 1950 and features a gable roof covered with tiles. The corner positioning of the residence ensures abundant natural light throughout the day while providing additional privacy compared to properties situated mid-row.
The living space measures approximately 142 square meters, with a total volume of around 550 cubic meters. The property includes six bedrooms distributed across three main living floors, along with a cellar and an attic space accessible via a fixed narrow staircase. The cellar is noted as being unique for this particular type of dwelling on the street, offering versatile possibilities such as a wine storage area, pantry, or hobby room.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to the cellar and includes a toilet with washbasin. The living and dining area has been opened up to create a spacious through-room featuring two side windows that enhance natural light penetration. A sliding door connects the living space to the rear garden, which faces southwest and captures afternoon and evening sun. The kitchen on this floor has a dated layout that would benefit from modernization.
The first floor comprises a landing with a toilet and hand basin, a rear side room equipped with built-in wardrobes and balcony access, an en-suite bedroom featuring side windows, two built-in wardrobes, and balcony access, as well as a front side room with ample built-in wardrobe space. The presence of multiple built-in storage solutions throughout the upper floors adds practical functionality to the living spaces.
The second floor contains a landing with storage area, a front bedroom fitted with a dormer window, built-in wardrobe, and additional storage, and a rear bedroom also featuring a dormer window and generous built-in wardrobe space. The bathroom on this floor is finished with blue tiles and includes a bathtub and washbasin. From the second-floor landing, a narrow fixed staircase leads to the attic space, which can serve as additional storage.
The exterior of the property features aluminum window frames with double glazing throughout. The garden at the rear measures 100 square meters with dimensions of approximately 10 meters in both depth and width. The southwest orientation ensures optimal sunlight exposure during the latter part of the day. The outdoor space includes both a stone storage building and a wooden shed, providing ample space for garden equipment and bicycles.
The property is situated within a municipally protected townscape, which preserves the historical character of the Vogelwijk area. This designation may influence certain renovation or exterior modification plans and should be considered by prospective buyers.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2009. The electrical system comprises six circuit groups plus a three-phase group, though it is noted that the installation lacks an earth leakage circuit breaker, which represents a safety consideration that may require attention. The energy label for the property is rated at E.
The overall condition of both the interior and exterior is described as moderate to reasonable. Specifically, the kitchen and sanitary facilities are noted as being in this same condition category, indicating that updating these elements would enhance the livability and value of the home. The property has not been occupied by the current seller, and accordingly, a non-occupancy clause will apply to the transaction.
The property is located on leasehold land, with the previous lease term having ended on January 1, 2020. The conversion to a perpetual leasehold right based on the AB2024 regulations is currently being processed by the Municipality of The Hague. Under the terms of this conversion, the annual ground rent will amount to 2,904 euros starting from June 1, 2026. This calculation is based on a land value of 132,000 euros and a ground rent percentage of 2.2 percent. The ground rent percentage is subject to revision every five years, which prospective buyers should factor into their long-term financial planning.
The Vogelwijk location offers convenient access to various amenities. Shopping facilities are available on Goudsbloemlaan, De Savornin Lohmanplein, Fahrenheitstraat, Thomsonlaan, and Frederik Hendriklaan, with The Hague city center also within reachable distance. The Bosjes van Pex green area is nearby, and the beach, sea, and dunes can be reached within approximately a six-minute walk. The harbor of Scheveningen, Boulevard of Kijkduin, restaurants, and museums are all situated within the broader vicinity.
Educational facilities in the area include the European School and the International School of The Hague, making this location particularly relevant for families connected to international organizations. Various primary schools and sports facilities are also present in the neighborhood.
Transportation connections include Bus 24 for public transit, while car access is facilitated by the Hubertustunnel and Westlandroute, providing connections to The Hague center, international organizations, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Schiphol Airport.
Parking in the area operates on a paid basis with permit system requirements. The 2025 sewage charge is 191.15 euros. The seller has expressed a preference for handling the transaction through project notary Heemskerk and Feijen in The Hague, given the ongoing leasehold conversion process.
The sale will be conducted using the NVM model purchase agreement. Lead, asbestos, and age clauses will apply to the transaction. A KIWA certificate is available, and the property has been confirmed to have no oil tank. A structural inspection certificate is mentioned among the property features.
The acceptance date is to be determined through mutual agreement between the parties. Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM purchase agent to represent their interests during the transaction process.
