Unique Spacious Ground-Floor Apartment with Private Garage in Regentessekwartier

Located in the desirable Regentessekwartier district of The Hague, this ground-floor apartment at Stephensonstraat 98 presents a rare opportunity to acquire a property with an unusual history and exceptional living space. Originally functioning as a garage business, the building underwent a complete transformation in 2021 and 2022, resulting in a modern luxury residence that is fully move-in ready and equipped with contemporary amenities.

The property immediately distinguishes itself through its exceptional width, a characteristic inherited from its previous commercial use. This width translates into a remarkably spacious living area that feels uncommonly generous for a ground-floor apartment. The total living area measures approximately 184 square meters, providing ample room for comfortable family living or entertaining guests. The interior has been finished to a high standard throughout the renovation process, with attention to detail evident in the choice of materials and fixtures.

Upon arrival at the street side, one encounters the garage entrance and the shared entrance of the apartment building. The entrance to this particular residence is located at the end of the internal hallway. Behind this entrance lies the hall, which includes a wardrobe area and a guest toilet. This arrangement provides a practical transition from the public corridor to the private living spaces.

The main living area is accessed through two attractive steel doors on the right side of the hall. These doors open to reveal the spacious living room, which has been beautifully finished. Connected to the living area is a generous kitchen and dining section, creating a cohesive space for cooking, dining, and relaxation. The open layout encourages a social atmosphere while still maintaining distinct functional zones.

Adjacent to the living room is a study that offers flexibility in its use. The current owner utilizes this space as a work-from-home office, but it could equally serve as an additional guest bedroom when the need arises. This room also provides direct access to the garden, adding to its appeal as a versatile space.

The garden at the rear of the property benefits from a southeastern orientation, meaning it receives afternoon sunlight throughout much of the year. Measuring 19 square meters with dimensions of 9.23 meters in depth and 2.03 meters in width, the outdoor space has been maintained in good condition and offers sufficient room for outdoor dining or barbecuing with friends and family. Notably, the garden can be accessed not only from the study but also from all three bedrooms, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living during warmer months.

The sleeping accommodation is arranged with the principal bedroom located closest to the entrance hall. This master bedroom is the largest of the three and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. The private bathroom includes a walk-in shower, a towel radiator, a vanity unit, and a bathtub, providing a complete bathroom experience without the need to share facilities.

Further back in the property are two additional bedrooms of more modest proportions. These two rooms share a separate bathroom that is equally well-appointed. In addition to a walk-in shower, towel radiator, vanity unit, and bathtub, this second bathroom also includes a toilet, offering convenience for the occupants of these bedrooms.

The property includes a private garage with capacity for one vehicle. The garage features an electric door and electrical connections, making it suitable not only for car storage but potentially for charging an electric vehicle or for use as additional storage space. This is a valuable asset in an urban environment where parking can be challenging.

The building dates back to 1904 but has been thoroughly modernized during the recent renovation. The property now boasts full insulation including HR+ glazing, contributing to its Energy Label A rating. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Avanta Ace gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2022, which is included in the purchase. Other technical features include mechanical ventilation, fiber optic cable connection, and television cable.

The property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. It is located within a nationally protected cityscape, which preserves the character of the neighborhood. The active Owners Association charges a monthly contribution of 175 euros, which covers shared maintenance and building insurance. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and maintains a reserve fund, though no formal maintenance plan is currently in place.

The Regentessekwartier location offers excellent connectivity and urban convenience. Public transport options are plentiful, with various bus and tram lines departing from the nearby Beeklaan and Laan van Meerdervoort. For motorists, the A4 motorway to Amsterdam, A12 to Utrecht, and A13 to Rotterdam are all reachable within a short drive. Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate that both Scheveningen beach and The Hague city center can be reached within ten to fifteen minutes by bicycle.

Daily shopping needs are well served by the Weimarstraat and Reinkenstraat, both of which offer numerous shops, supermarkets, and dining establishments within easy walking distance. The Stephensonstraat itself is described as a quiet road with a sheltered position, providing a peaceful residential environment despite the urban setting.

Prospective buyers should note that the purchase agreement will include both an age clause and a materials clause, which are standard provisions for properties of this age and renovation status. Acceptance of the property is subject to mutual agreement regarding the timing.
