Key Features
Description
Located in the desirable Vruchtenbuurt neighborhood of Den Haag, this spacious six-room family home at Tomatenstraat 233 offers an excellent combination of character and modern comfort. The property, originally built in 1930, has been thoughtfully modernized while retaining many authentic period details that give the home its distinctive charm.
The residence offers 142 square meters of living space situated on a plot of 140 square meters. With five bedrooms spread across three floors, this property provides ample accommodation for families seeking a home with both indoor and outdoor living space. The ground lease has been perpetually paid off, which is a significant financial benefit for the new owner.
Upon approaching the property, you are welcomed by a generous front garden of approximately 22 square meters facing southeast, ensuring morning and afternoon sun. The front garden includes a sunken bicycle storage area, a practical feature that keeps the entrance area tidy. The classic granito floor with red border begins in the front garden and continues seamlessly through the vestibule into the hallway, creating a cohesive and characterful entrance experience.
The ground floor has been extended at the rear to maximize living space. The current owners have created an open-plan living and dining area of approximately 38 square meters. This space features a light laminate floor with a tile pattern and underfloor heating that extends into the kitchen. The extension at the back of the property provides abundant living space and connects directly to the sunny backyard through double French doors.
The open kitchen is positioned at the front of the living area in a practical U-shaped layout. A breakfast bar creates a pleasant connection between the kitchen and the living space. A bay window offers views of the front garden and street. The kitchen is equipped with Siemens and AEG built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop, stainless steel extractor hood, dishwasher, large refrigerator, separate large freezer, and combination microwave. Additional features include a Le Mans carousel cabinet, sink with close-in boiler, ample cabinet space, pan drawers, and cutlery drawers. A unique architectural detail is the integrated and illuminated wine rack built into the wall next to the living room door, creating what the listing describes as a vertical wine cellar.
The well-maintained backyard measures approximately 46 square meters and faces northwest, benefiting from afternoon and evening sun. At the rear of the garden stands a large wooden shed of approximately 11 square meters, featuring a large skylight and electricity. This space is suitable for hobbies, storage, or as a workshop.
The first floor is accessed via the hallway and contains three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The landing provides access to all rooms and includes a second modern toilet with floating closet, concealed cistern, and washbasin. A built-in cabinet on the landing serves as a convenient shoe closet.
The master bedroom spans the full width of the front of the property and measures approximately 16.5 square meters. Three large windows provide plenty of natural light and pleasant views toward the Mandarijnstraat. The second bedroom, approximately 12 square meters, is located at the rear and includes a built-in closet and double French doors leading to the rear balcony, which faces northwest and enjoys afternoon and evening sun similar to the backyard.
The third bedroom on this floor is more compact at approximately 5 square meters and is currently used as a home office. This room contains a closet housing the washing machine and dryer, and also has double French doors to the rear balcony.
The modern bathroom is centrally located between the two larger bedrooms. It features a spacious walk-in shower with thermostatic faucet, a bathtub also with thermostatic faucet, a washbasin with mixer tap, bathroom furniture, a mirror with lighting, and mechanical ventilation.
The second floor contains two additional bedrooms, both featuring dormer windows and built-in closets.
