Spacious Character Duplex Apartment in Statenkwartier

This elegant duplex apartment (maisonnette) is located in the Statenkwartier neighbourhood of The Hague, one of the most sought after and internationally oriented areas of the city. The property, originally built in 1912, combines authentic architectural charm with modern living comfort and sustainability features. Spanning approximately 135 square metres of living space across two floors, this residence offers ample room for families and expats seeking a spacious and well located home.

The apartment is situated on freehold land, meaning no ground lease obligations apply. It also falls within a nationally protected urban landscape, which adds to the historical character and visual appeal of the surroundings. The building retains various period features that contribute to its distinctive personality.

Upon entering through the front door on the ground floor, you arrive in a hallway featuring a modern and comprehensive fuse box, two coat racks, and an internal staircase leading to the first residential floor.

The first floor accommodates a large storage room, a generous bedroom with a walk in closet at the rear, and an extra large bedroom at the front. This front bedroom was created by merging two previously separate rooms, resulting in a notably spacious area. All rooms on this level are finished with European pine wood flooring. The window coverings at the front of the property are electrically operated for added convenience.

Also located on this floor is a stylish and contemporary bathroom equipped with a tiled floor, freestanding bathtub, walk in rain shower, vanity unit with double sinks, wall mounted mirror cabinet, and an electric towel radiator. A separate toilet is situated adjacent to the bathroom. Additionally, there is a built in cupboard providing connections for a washing machine and dryer, along with an extra washing machine connection next to the vanity unit. The landing offers further convenient storage space.

A staircase with a skylight or roof window leads to the second floor, which serves as the main living area.

The second floor features a bright and spacious en suite living room with an original sliding partition and built in cupboards. This classic layout allows for flexible use of the space, making it suitable as a combined living and dining area on one side and a study or television room on the other. Adjacent to the living area is a balcony facing east, measuring approximately 4 to 5 square metres, where residents can enjoy the morning sun.

The custom designed kitchen is directly connected to the living room and offers ample workspace on both sides. It is equipped with a five burner Siemens induction hob, a stainless steel Itho extractor hood, and a range of recently updated appliances. The Miele dishwasher was replaced in 2024, the Miele combination oven and microwave in 2023, and a new freestanding fridge freezer is planned for 2025. A stainless steel sink with a Quooker boiling water tap completes the kitchen setup.

At the front of this floor, there is a guest room with two built in wardrobes, which can also serve as an additional bedroom or home office. A second bathroom on this level includes a toilet with a small washbasin and a shower with a granite floor. The entire floor is finished with teak wood panel flooring.

In total, the property comprises seven rooms, including three full bedrooms and two additional rooms currently used as walk in closets. These extra rooms can easily be converted to serve as bedrooms, children's rooms, workspaces, or hobby rooms depending on the needs of the household.

The apartment has been made fully gas free, contributing to lower environmental impact and reduced energy costs. Heating is provided through electric radiators, while hot water is supplied via electric instantaneous water heaters and an electric boiler. The property holds an energy label C rating. Insulation measures include plastic window frames with HR++ double glazing and internally insulated facades, which help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures throughout the year.

The electrical installation is modern and well equipped, featuring 16 circuits, 5 power circuits including one with 63 ampere capacity, and a residual current device for safety.

The Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE) is active and well organized. The monthly service charge amounts to 170 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and provides building insurance coverage.

The popular Frederik Hendriklaan, locally referred to as De Fred, is within walking distance and offers a wide selection of shops, restaurants, and specialty stores. International organisations, schools, public transport connections, and the beach at Scheveningen are all easily accessible, making this location particularly attractive for expats and families who value convenience and connectivity.

Transfer of the property will be agreed upon mutually between buyer and seller. The buyer is free to choose a notary, provided they operate within the Haaglanden region.
