Renovated Ground Floor Apartment with Garden in Geuzenkwartier
Key Features
Description
Located at Van Lumeystraat 66 in the sought after Geuzenkwartier neighborhood of Den Haag, this extra wide ground floor apartment offers 120 square meters of comfortable living space. The property underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2017, ensuring modern comforts while maintaining its original character. The roof was additionally renewed and insulated in 2018.
The Geuzenkwartier is a neighborhood known for its character and livability. This property is situated on a quiet street while still being within walking distance of De Fred, a popular local shopping area. The Harbour and the beach are also nearby, as are the city center and various daily amenities. This combination of tranquility and accessibility makes the location particularly appealing.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a surprisingly spacious hallway featuring practical built in storage cabinets. From here, steel doors open to reveal the living and dining room, a space that immediately impresses with its character and thoughtful layout. The open kitchen connects seamlessly to the living area and has been designed for daily use without compromise. The extra deep countertops provide ample workspace, while the tall cabinets offer more than enough storage room.
The living area currently features a wood stove, which will be taken by the current owners upon departure. However, the existing connection makes it straightforward to install a new fireplace in this space. What truly distinguishes this living area is the combination of width, height, and natural light. The impressive fully glass steel rear facade creates an open, almost loft like atmosphere where the boundary between indoors and outdoors seems to dissolve.
The dining area is positioned at the rear of the property, offering views of the garden. This is a space that naturally invites you to linger, whether for extended dinners, a quiet morning coffee, or an afternoon of reading or crafting. Through the double doors, you can step directly into the garden.
The garden is green, atmospheric, and pleasantly proportioned. Measuring approximately 44 square meters, it provides ample space for outdoor relaxation or al fresco dining. The garden is oriented to the west, ensuring plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine. A practical wooden shed provides storage for cushions and garden tools, and is equipped with electricity. The shed measures approximately 4 square meters.
Back inside, the bathroom is located on the ground floor and is fitted with a sink and a walk in shower. The toilet is separate from the bathroom, and adjacent to these facilities is a convenient built in closet with a connection for a washing machine.
The property comprises five rooms in total, including three bedrooms. The first bedroom is situated on the ground floor and is both light and generously sized. The remaining two bedrooms are located directly above, on the front side of the property. All bedrooms are equipped with built in storage space, contributing to a tidy and organized living environment.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds a B energy label. Insulation measures include roof insulation, triple glazing, partial double glazing, and HR glass. Heating and hot water are provided by an HR 107 electric combi boiler installed in 2017, which is owned by the property owner.
The property benefits from an active Homeowners Association with a monthly contribution of 70 euros. The association maintains a reserve fund, holds annual meetings, has a maintenance plan in place, and carries building insurance. The property is registered with the Chamber of Commerce.
The property is situated on leasehold land that is fully owned, meaning no ground lease payments apply. The building was originally constructed in 1913 and features a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material.
Parking in the area is available through paid public parking and parking permits. The property spans three levels in total and has a total volume of 537 cubic meters. Ventilation is provided through natural means.
It is worth noting that due to the original construction year of 1913, standard clauses regarding materials and age will be included in the purchase agreement. This is a common practice for properties of this vintage and ensures transparency regarding the condition of the building.
The property is currently available for viewing, and acceptance can be discussed. The asking price is 825,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,875 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered under the condition of costs payable by the buyer.
