Charming Top Floor Apartment with Sunny Balcony in Heesterbuurt

This apartment is situated on the second floor of a building located on Verlengde 2e Braamstraat in the Heesterbuurt neighborhood of Den Haag. Being positioned on the top floor means there are no upstairs neighbors, which contributes to a peaceful living environment. The property offers a total living area of 83 square meters and includes two bedrooms, making it suitable for couples, small families, or individuals who appreciate extra space for a home office or guest room.

The location in the Heesterbuurt is characterized as a quiet residential street, yet it benefits from proximity to various amenities. Within walking distance, residents can access the Fahrenheitstraat, Thomsonlaan, and Weimarstraat, which are known for their diverse selection of shops, specialty stores, and dining establishments. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, the Bosjes van Pex park is nearby, offering opportunities for walking and sports. The beach at Scheveningen can be reached by bicycle in approximately 10 to 15 minutes, as can the city center of Den Haag. Public transportation is conveniently located around the corner, including RandstadRail connections that facilitate travel to the city center and surrounding areas.

The building dates back to 1924, which is reflected in some of the original architectural features present in the apartment. The entrance is through an open portico with stairs leading to the second floor. The property also includes a private storage space. Upon entering the apartment, there is a hall and vestibule that lead to a central hallway providing access to all rooms. In this hallway, there is a fixed closet containing the meter box and a separate toilet equipped with a small washbasin.

A notable feature of the apartment is the en suite living and dining room, which retains the original sliding separation with stained glass panels. This characteristic element adds a distinctive touch to the interior while allowing flexibility in how the space is used. The living area is situated at the front of the apartment, while the dining area is at the rear and provides access to the balcony. There are four built in closets in this living and dining space, offering practical storage solutions.

The balcony faces southeast, according to one part of the listing, or southwest according to another section, and allows residents to enjoy sunlight from early morning through the afternoon. The outdoor space measures 5 square meters and provides an opportunity for outdoor seating or plants.

The master bedroom is described as spacious and features a characteristic bay window along with a fixed closet. The second bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment and includes a washbasin as well as the connection point for a washing machine. This arrangement keeps laundry facilities within the living space while maintaining separation from the main living areas.

The kitchen was installed in 2017 and is arranged in an L shape. It comes equipped with several built in appliances, including a six burner gas stove with a large oven and a dishwasher. This setup provides functionality for cooking and meal preparation.

The bathroom is compact in size and contains a shower. While modest in dimensions, it serves the essential needs of the household. Separate from the bathroom, there is an additional toilet with a washbasin, which adds convenience for daily use.

Regarding energy efficiency, the property currently has an energy label G. The windows throughout the apartment have been fitted with double glazing, with some units being HR++ grade. The heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant HR combination boiler that was installed in 2020 and runs on gas. This boiler is owned by the current owner. Additionally, there is an air conditioning system present in the property that is available for takeover by the buyer.

The apartment is part of an active Homeowners Association, known as VVE in Dutch. The owner holds a one third share in this association. The monthly VVE contribution is set at 150 euros. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund in place, maintains an maintenance plan, and has building insurance arranged.

An important aspect of this property is the ground lease situation. The property is located on municipal ground lease, but the ground lease canon has been perpetually paid off. This means the buyer will not have ongoing ground lease payments, which can be a significant financial consideration when purchasing property in certain areas of the Netherlands.

The roof of the building is a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total volume of the apartment is 304 cubic meters. The property is being offered through Brix makelaars with specific sale conditions that apply. The delivery date can be discussed with the seller, providing some flexibility for the transaction.

This apartment combines original architectural elements from the 1920s with more modern updates such as the kitchen from 2017 and the boiler from 2020. The location in the Heesterbuurt offers a balance between quiet residential living and convenient access to urban amenities, shopping areas, green spaces, and coastal recreation. The top floor position eliminates concerns about noise from upstairs neighbors, and the balcony provides private outdoor space within an apartment setting.
