Spacious corner upper apartment with flexible guest quarters in Zeeheldenkwartier

Van Speijkstraat 210 is located in the Zeeheldenkwartier district of The Hague, a neighborhood known for its charming streets, local shops, coffee bars, and terraces. The property is a corner upper apartment situated in a characteristic building dating back to 1887. The apartment spans approximately 165 square meters across three full residential levels, offering generous living space with windows on multiple sides that contribute to a bright and open atmosphere throughout the home.

The Zeeheldenkwartier is a well regarded residential area with a lively mix of local businesses and amenities. Residents have easy access to the green Zeeheldentuin, and the city center of The Hague is reachable by bicycle within minutes. The beach, dunes, and coastal areas of Scheveningen are also conveniently accessible. Despite this central and connected location, the elevated position of this corner apartment provides a sense of privacy and tranquility once inside.

The entrance to the property is through a private front door leading to a hallway with the meter cupboard and staircase to the upper levels. The first residential level serves as the main living area, where the corner position becomes immediately apparent. Natural light enters from multiple directions, creating pleasant sightlines and a spacious feeling. This floor features an open kitchen with a cooking island that functions as the heart of the home, suitable for cooking, working at the dining table, or entertaining guests. From the kitchen, there is access to a sheltered rear balcony measuring approximately 9 square meters, facing southeast and offering morning sun. The listing notes that this balcony has been in exclusive use for years and legalization is possible with VvE approval and a municipal permit. Additionally, this level includes an extra room that could serve as a children's room, home office, dressing room, or hobby space, as well as a toilet with a small sink.

The second residential level is dedicated to sleeping quarters and is arranged in a practical and comfortable manner. This floor contains two spacious bedrooms and an additional side room, which would be suitable as a nursery or workspace. There is a modern bathroom equipped with a double sink and a walk in shower with underfloor heating. A separate toilet with sink is also located on this level, along with multiple built in closets and storage spaces.

The third residential level, referred to as the loft, has its own distinct character with a high ceiling and abundant light. This attic floor is currently set up and used as a Bed and Breakfast, making it well suited for guest accommodation, an au pair arrangement, or as an independent living and working space for a family member. The layout includes a sitting room with a compact kitchen unit, a bedroom, a second modern bathroom with underfloor heating, storage space, and the location of the central heating boiler. There is also an additional loft space that serves as practical storage.

The property includes several notable features. It sits on its own land (volle eigendom), meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht). Sixteen solar panels were installed in 2021, contributing to energy efficiency. The sewer system was renewed in 2023. The windows are planned to be replaced with plastic frames with HR++ glass in 2026. The building is part of a protected cityscape (beschermd stadsgezicht) in the Zeeheldenkwartier. The active Homeowners Association (VvE) charges a monthly contribution of approximately 117 euros, which includes building insurance.

The energy label is C, and the property has floor insulation. Heating is provided by a gas fired combination boiler (Nefit Trendline II HRC30 CW6 Aquapower) from 2018, with partial underfloor heating in the bathrooms. Other amenities include mechanical ventilation, fiberglass cable connection, and TV cable.

Parking in the area is through paid parking and parking permits. The total volume of the apartment is 590 cubic meters.

An important legal consideration is that the property has both a residential function and a guest accommodation function according to the current zoning plan. The attic floor is currently used as a Bed and Breakfast. The listing explicitly states that any continuation of guest accommodation, expansion thereof, or use as an independent living unit, kangaroo house, or other alternative use forms is only permitted if it complies with the applicable zoning plan and any additional permit and notification requirements from the municipality of The Hague. The seller and selling agent provide no guarantees regarding future usage possibilities. It is the responsibility of the buyer to independently verify prior to signing the purchase agreement whether the intended use is permitted from a planning, legal, and practical perspective.

The asking price is 875,000 euros, with buyer's costs (kosten koper) applicable. This translates to approximately 5,303 euros per square meter. The property is available for viewing through the Funda platform and by telephone. An open house is scheduled for Saturday, April 18, from 15:00 to 16:30. Delivery is by mutual agreement, and the buyer has free choice of notary within the Haaglanden region.

Standard clauses apply, including an age and materials clause. A legally binding purchase agreement is only formed after both the private seller and private buyer have signed the agreement, as stipulated by Article 7:2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Measurements and surfaces are indicative and based on the NEN 2580 measurement instruction, which aims to provide a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of usable surface area, though it does not completely eliminate differences in measurement outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations during measurement.
