Spacious renovated upper house with 172m² living space and stunning natural surroundings
Key Features
Description
This attractive upper house is situated at Tesselsestraat 7 in the Duindorp district of The Hague, offering generous living space of approximately 172 square meters spread across three floors. Built around 1924, this five- to six-room residence combines historical character with modern comfort and is ready for immediate occupation.
The property is positioned at the edge of the neighborhood, providing unobstructed views over the Bosjes van Poot woodland area. Residents benefit from being within walking distance of the yacht harbors, the Westduinpark which forms part of the National Park Hollandse Duinen, and the southern beach. This combination of urban convenience and natural beauty makes the location particularly appealing.
The layout unfolds across three distinct levels, beginning with the entrance at street level where a hall houses the meter cupboard equipped with seven electrical groups and an earth leakage circuit breaker. A staircase leads to the first floor.
The first floor features a landing with a fully tiled toilet and shower combination measuring approximately 0.95 by 1.90 meters. This practical space includes a wall-mounted toilet and mechanical ventilation. The highlight of this level is the bright and exceptionally spacious L-shaped living and dining room covering approximately 48 square meters, complete with a parquet floor that adds warmth and character to the space. The open kitchen, measuring approximately 2.35 by 2.70 meters, is equipped with a modern L-shaped kitchen installation featuring a five-burner cooktop, extractor hood, combination oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator-freezer. A door provides access to the rear balcony.
Ascending to the second floor, the landing includes a tiled toilet with a wall-mounted closet. This floor accommodates three bedrooms. The front bedroom, currently used as a study, measures approximately 22 square meters and includes a fitted wardrobe and laminate flooring. The rear bedroom spans approximately 18 square meters, while an additional side bedroom offers about 9 square meters of space. The fully tiled bathroom, approximately 2.00 by 2.20 meters, features a generous soaking bathtub, a corner-entry shower, and a glass washbasin.
The third floor, located under the roof, serves as both a sleeping area at the rear and a living space at the front. A small kitchenette is equipped with a two-burner induction cooktop, oven, and refrigerator, along with a fitted cupboard housing the central heating combi boiler (a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2025, owned by the homeowner) and a washing machine connection.
Several notable features enhance this property. The house is located on a perpetual leasehold right (erfpacht) with an annual canon of approximately 33.69 euros plus management costs of 17.00 euros per half-year, payable in arrears. The exterior frames are constructed from maintenance-friendly synthetic materials fitted with HR++ double glazing, contributing to improved energy efficiency. The roof was re-covered in 2010 and equipped with insulation. The active owners association (VvE) includes a 7/10th share, with monthly service charges of approximately 60.00 euros covering maintenance, reserve funds, and building insurance. The current energy label is C.
Due to the construction year around 1924, the standard NVM purchase agreement includes age and materials clauses, which is typical for properties of this era.
The location proves convenient for daily amenities. Shops at Tesselseplein are easily accessible, as are the southern beach, Bosjes van Poot woodland, and Westduinpark. Public transportation options include bus lines 22 and 28 and tram line 12, providing connections throughout the city. Parking in the area is available through paid public parking and resident permits.
This upper house presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a substantial living space in a sought-after neighborhood where natural surroundings blend seamlessly with urban conveniences.
