Spacious and bright apartment with green and water views in the Heesterbuurt

This apartment is situated on the first floor at Valkenboskade 462 in the Heesterbuurt neighborhood of The Hague. The property offers a living area of 103 square meters and features three bedrooms, making it suitable for families or professionals seeking ample space in a central location.

The entrance is accessed through a well-maintained communal hallway on the first floor. Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a spacious hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, a laundry and storage room, and a modern toilet. The hallway leads to a generous front room that can serve as a living room, office space, or additional bedroom depending on the needs of the residents.

The heart of the apartment is the open-plan living and dining area, which has been created by opening up the original layout. Black steel-framed French doors separate this space while maintaining a sense of openness and allowing natural light to flow through the apartment. The living area opens directly onto a southwest-facing balcony through additional French doors. This outdoor space provides room for seating and benefits from afternoon and evening sun exposure.

The modern kitchen is accessible from the living area and also has its own door to the balcony. The kitchen is equipped with a five-burner gas stove including an oven, a dishwasher, a freestanding refrigerator-freezer combination, and a separate microwave. The kitchen layout allows for practical meal preparation while maintaining connection to the living space.

The bathroom has been updated to modern standards and features a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with sink, and a towel radiator. The fixtures and finishes reflect a contemporary aesthetic appropriate for the building's character.

The sleeping quarters consist of a large master bedroom with an adjoining room that is currently used as a walk-in closet. This secondary room can easily be converted into a children's bedroom or nursery, providing flexibility in how the space is utilized. A third bedroom is located at the front of the apartment, offering versatility as a guest room, home office, or additional bedroom.

The entire apartment is finished with attractive laminate parquet flooring, providing a uniform and warm appearance throughout the living spaces and bedrooms.

The building dates from 1916 and is classified as a portiekwoning, which is an apartment type characterized by an open staircase entrance. Despite its age, the property has received several modernizations. The roof covering was renewed in 2018, and the windows feature a combination of double glazing and HR++ glass for improved insulation. The energy label is rated C, valid until April 2036.

Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Avanta HR combination boiler installed in 2018. This boiler is owned by the current residents and will transfer to the new owner. The electrical system has been modernized with eleven circuit groups and two earth leakage switches, meeting current safety standards.

The apartment benefits from four solar panels with a total capacity of 1480 peak watts, contributing to reduced energy costs. The electrical installation and solar panel system work together to provide efficient energy use for the household.

The property is located on a quiet road alongside water, offering unobstructed views of greenery from both the front and rear of the apartment. The Heesterbuurt neighborhood provides a residential atmosphere while maintaining proximity to urban amenities. Shopping facilities on Thomsonlaan and Fahrenheitstraat are within walking distance, offering a variety of retail options for daily needs.

The location is particularly notable for its accessibility to recreational areas. The sea, beach, and dunes can be reached by bicycle in approximately ten minutes, making this an attractive address for those who enjoy coastal activities and outdoor recreation.

Parking in the area is regulated through a permit system with paid public parking available. Residents will need to obtain a parking permit from the municipality.

The apartment is part of an active homeowners association with the current owner holding a one-third share. The monthly VvE contribution is 100 euros. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds annual meetings. A recent multi-year maintenance plan is available, and the reserve fund stands at approximately 6,600 euros as of the end of 2025. The building has collective building insurance in place, providing coverage for all unit owners.

The ground lease for the property has been reissued as perpetual, with the canon fully paid off. This means the new owner will not have ongoing ground lease payments, which represents a significant financial advantage compared to properties with active ground lease obligations.

Given the construction year of 1916, the standard NVM purchase agreement will include clauses regarding the age of the property and materials. These clauses are standard practice for older buildings and provide protection for both buyer and seller regarding the condition of older construction elements.

The delivery date is negotiable, allowing flexibility for the buyer to coordinate their move. The property is offered at 469,000 euros costs to the buyer, which translates to approximately 4,553 euros per square meter of living space. The building volume is 380 cubic meters, and the balcony adds three square meters of outdoor space.

Natural ventilation is present throughout the apartment, and the combination of window types and orientations allows for good air circulation when desired. The southwest-facing balcony orientation is favorable for those who appreciate outdoor living during the warmer months.

This property represents an opportunity to acquire a spacious apartment in a well-connected neighborhood of The Hague, combining period character with modern amenities and energy efficiency improvements.
