Description
This modern apartment is situated on the Verheeskade in The Hague, offering a residential opportunity in a well-connected part of the city. The property is located in a quiet neighborhood while still providing excellent accessibility to public transportation and educational facilities. The building dates from 2004 and the apartment is positioned on a high floor, providing residents with an unobstructed view over the surrounding area and the water of Laakhaven.
The living room measures approximately 22 square meters and has been designed to maximize natural light through large windows. This space serves as the central area of the apartment where residents can relax or entertain guests. The room layout allows for various furniture arrangements and the window placement ensures a bright atmosphere throughout the day. The view from the living room extends over the water, adding a distinctive element to the living experience.
The kitchen covers an area of 15 square meters and was installed when the building was constructed in 2004. It features a practical layout with modern appliances including a combination microwave, dishwasher, extractor hood, freezer, refrigerator, and a single-handle faucet. While the kitchen has been in use for nearly two decades, it continues to provide functional workspace for daily meal preparation. The size of the kitchen is relatively generous for an apartment of this scale, allowing for comfortable cooking activities.
The bedroom measures 14 square meters and is positioned to provide a quiet resting environment. The room offers sufficient space for a standard double bed along with storage furniture such as a wardrobe or dresser. The window placement in the bedroom contributes to natural ventilation and daylight entry. This room can accommodate the needs of a single occupant or a couple seeking a one-bedroom residence.
The bathroom spans 4 square meters and includes a walk-in shower, sink with accompanying vanity unit, hand towel radiator, and an electrical outlet. A single-handle faucet is installed at the sink. The bathroom has been finished with modern materials and provides the essential facilities for daily personal care. Additionally, the apartment has a separate toilet, which adds convenience for residents and guests.
The apartment includes a French balcony, described in the listing as a sunny loggia, which offers views of Laakhaven. This outdoor space provides an area to enjoy fresh air and the surrounding scenery without leaving the apartment. The balcony faces the water, contributing to the overall appeal of the property.
A dedicated parking space is included with the apartment, located on the premises in a secured area. This is a significant advantage in a city like The Hague where parking can be challenging to find. The parking space can accommodate one vehicle and eliminates the need to search for street parking.
For bicycle storage, the building provides a designated area for residents. This facility supports sustainable transportation options and secure storage of bicycles.
The technical specifications of the apartment include an Energy Label A rating, which indicates good energy efficiency for a property from 2004. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas HR combination boiler, which is a high-efficiency condensing boiler commonly used in Dutch residential properties.
The property is part of a homeowners association (VvE) with a monthly contribution of approximately 135 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has building insurance in place. However, the listing indicates that there is no formal maintenance plan, which prospective buyers may wish to inquire about further.
The apartment is held on municipal leasehold (erfpacht) that has been perpetually paid off (eeuwigdurend afgekocht), meaning there are no ongoing leasehold payments required. This is a favorable arrangement as it removes the financial obligation that typically accompanies leasehold properties.
An important condition to note is that a non-occupancy clause (niet bewoningsclausule) applies to this property. This clause typically means that the property must be occupied by the owner as their primary residence and cannot be rented out without permission. Prospective buyers who are considering this property as an investment or who plan to rent it out should verify the exact terms of this clause.
The asking price is 299,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,397 euros per square meter based on the listed living area of 68 square meters. It should be noted that there is a discrepancy in the listing between the description, which states 61 square meters, and the features section, which states 68 square meters. Similarly, the floor level is described as the 10th floor in the main text but listed as the 11th floor in the features section. Interested parties should verify these details during a viewing.
The apartment is available for immediate transfer, allowing for a relatively quick acquisition process for qualified buyers. The building is equipped with a lift, CCTV security cameras, and sliding doors, contributing to the safety and convenience of the residential environment.
In summary, this apartment on the Verheeskade offers a combination of practical features including parking, energy efficiency, and water views in a well-connected location in The Hague. The property suits individuals or couples seeking a modern one-bedroom apartment with the convenience of included parking in a building with adequate amenities and an active homeowners association.
