Stylishly Transformed Ground-Floor Apartment in The Hague's Valkenboskwartier
Key Features
Upsides
- Complete interior renovation completed in 2026, including kitchen, bathroom, all installations, and underfloor heating, resulting in a truly turn-key property ready for immediate occupancy.
- Excellent energy performance with energy label A rating, double glazing, wall and floor insulation, and efficient heating, translating to low energy costs and high living comfort.
- Prime location in the popular Valkenboskwartier neighborhood, within walking and cycling distance of shops, restaurants, schools, public transport, the beach, and The Hague city center.
- Freehold ownership (volle eigendom) with an active and well-organized VvE that handles maintenance, insurance, and reserve funds, providing peace of mind for the future.
- Three bedrooms including two generously sized rooms, combined with an open-plan living area and luxurious bathroom, offering both space and style in a well-designed layout.
Downsides
- Ground-floor apartment with limited outdoor space, featuring only a small side garden of approximately 5 square meters with a northwest exposure, which means less sunlight compared to upper-floor units.
- Building constructed circa 1906, which introduces potential maintenance concerns and requires acceptance of asbestos, lead-based paint, and age-related clauses that limit seller warranties.
- Active VvE requiring a monthly contribution, which adds to the ongoing cost of ownership and involves shared decision-making responsibilities with other unit owners.
- No private parking space is included, and the surrounding area relies on paid public parking or permit parking, which can be challenging in this popular neighborhood.
- While the property has three bedrooms, the third room is relatively small and may not serve as a full master bedroom, potentially limiting flexibility for larger households.

The renovation has included new kitchen, bathroom, finishes, and installations, meaning the new owner can move in immediately without undertaking any additional work.

The building is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and maintains a reserve fund and maintenance plan.
The outside space consists of a small side garden of approximately 5 square meters, located on the northwest side of the property. While modest in size, it provides a private outdoor area for plants or a small seating arrangement.
The Valkenboskwartier is a vibrant and characteristic neighborhood known for its atmospheric streets, beautiful architecture, and excellent amenities. The Weimarstraat, Fahrenheitstraat, and Thomsonlaan are all nearby and offer a wide variety of shops, specialty stores, supermarkets, and dining options. Schools, sports facilities, and public transportation are all easily accessible. The beach of Scheveningen and the bustling city center of The Hague are both within a short cycling distance, making this an ideal location for those who appreciate both urban conveniences and recreational opportunities.
Parking in the area is available through paid public parking or a parking permit. The apartment is connected to the gas network with an Intergas combination boiler installed in 2026, which is owned by the property. Additional features include double glazing, wall insulation, floor insulation, mechanical and natural ventilation, and cable television.
The property is offered at an asking price of €650,000, excluding transfer tax and notary fees. The transfer is expected to take place in consultation with the seller. Standard conditions from Agterberg Makelaardij apply. A non-occupancy clause, asbestos clause, lead-based paint clause, and age clause are all included in the sales documentation. Buyers are advised to engage their own purchasing agent.
This apartment presents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully renovated, turn-key residence in one of The Hague's most desirable neighborhoods, combining modern comfort with the charm of early 20th-century architecture.
