Additionally there is one square meter of other indoor space and 10 square meters of building-bound outdoor space consisting of the two balconies.

The entrance to the apartment is reached via an open portico. From there a staircase leads to the first floor where the front door is located. Upon entering the hall serves as the central point of the home and provides access to all rooms. In the hall you will find the meter cupboard and a separate toilet room equipped with a small sink.

The living area consists of a through living room en suite. This creates a pleasant and light living space. At the front side there is access to the balcony facing northwest.

From the kitchen there is a door leading to the sunny balcony facing southeast. This southeast-facing balcony receives plenty of sunlight during the day, making it an attractive spot for outdoor seating.

The first bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment. This bedroom has access to the southeast-facing balcony through dormer windows. The second bedroom is situated at the front and also has access to the northwest-facing balcony through dormer windows. Both bedrooms thus have direct outdoor access, which is a practical feature of this layout.

The bathroom is spacious and equipped with a shower, a sink and a connection point for the washing machine. The separate toilet in the hall provides additional convenience.

The apartment currently has energy label E. All window frames are wooden and fitted with single glazing. This means that significant improvements can be made in terms of insulation and energy efficiency. The electrical installation consists of five groups and one earth leakage switch. The central heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant Thermocompact gas-fired combination boiler from 1997, which is owned by the current owner. This boiler predates 1998 and will likely need replacement in the near future.

The property is located on municipal leasehold ground with perpetual leasehold. The current canon payment is 123.54 euros excluding 17 euros management costs per half year, totaling 247.08 euros annually. There is an option to buy off the leasehold.

The homeowner association is active and registered with the Chamber of Commerce. The monthly contribution is 150 euros. The VvE has a reserve fund, holds annual meetings, has a maintenance plan in place, and has taken out building insurance. These are all positive indicators of a well-managed association.

The location in the Bomenbuurt is considered attractive. Various shops and restaurants on the Fahrenheitstraat and Thomsonlaan are within walking distance. Public transport connections are nearby. Green areas and both regular and international schools can be found in the immediate vicinity. The beach, sea, and dunes are easily accessible by bicycle, as is the center of Den Haag.

Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking, public parking spaces, and parking permits. Fiber optic cable is available at the property, ensuring good internet connectivity options.

The transaction will be handled through the project notary Matzinger Eversdijk Notarissen. Both a materials clause and an age clause will be included in the NVM purchase agreement. This is standard practice for older properties and serves to protect both buyer and seller regarding the condition of building materials and installations given the age of the building.

This apartment presents itself as a solid foundation for someone looking to create a personalized home. The basic layout with four rooms, two balconons, and a practical arrangement of spaces provides a good starting point. The need for modernization and sustainability improvements means that the new owner will have the opportunity to make choices according to their own preferences regarding insulation, glazing, kitchen, bathroom, and interior finishes. The desirable location in the Bomenbuurt adds to the appeal of this renovation project.
