Charming Five-Room Apartment with Sunny Garden in Duinoord

This attractive five-room apartment is situated on Voltastraat in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Duinoord in The Hague. The property occupies a quiet section of a one-way street characterized by the rich architectural heritage that defines this part of the city. Residents of Duinoord benefit from a central location that allows for convenient cycling access to the beach, the harbors, and the city center, all reachable within minutes. On foot, several popular shopping streets are easily accessible, including the Reinkenstraat, Weimarstraat, Frederik Hendriklaan, and Fahrenheitstraat, offering a wide variety of shops, restaurants, and daily amenities.

The apartment is located on the ground floor and extends over three living levels with a total living area of 119 square meters. The building dates from 1906 and is situated within a protected cityscape, which means the exterior appearance of the structure is subject to preservation regulations. The property is held in full ownership on private land, which is an important consideration for prospective buyers.

Upon entering the property at street level, one reaches a vestibule equipped with a draft door that leads to the central hallway. This hallway provides access to a toilet and a spacious storage closet that contains the washing machine connection. From the hallway, the living room is accessible, featuring a fireplace and a bay window at the front of the property. The original sliding separation with side cabinets connects the living room to the large kitchen located in the rear section of the property. This architectural detail adds character and charm to the interior space.

The kitchen is designed as a living kitchen, making it suitable for both cooking and extended dining. It features a long concrete countertop, gas cooking, a built-in oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. Numerous drawers provide ample storage space for kitchen utensils and supplies. New double patio doors connect the kitchen to the rear garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces when opened.

The garden at the rear of the property is notably wide due to the presence of a rear extension structure. It includes a practical shed, lawn areas, various plantings, and a pleasant sunny terrace. The orientation is described as facing south to southeast in the main text, while the characteristics section mentions southwest. The garden receives a considerable amount of sunlight throughout the day regardless of the exact orientation.

Also located on the ground floor is the master bedroom, which has been enlarged by incorporating a portion of the former kitchen space. This bedroom features patio doors and windows that overlook the rear garden, providing natural light and direct outdoor access. The ground floor also contains the newly installed bathroom, which includes a walk-in shower, a connection point for the optional installation of a bathtub, and a vanity unit.

A staircase leads from the ground floor to the first upper level, where a landing provides access to the second bedroom. This bedroom measures 4.31 by 2.70 meters and includes a built-in closet for storage. The staircase continues to the top level where the third bedroom is located, also measuring 4.31 by 2.70 meters. The landing on this upper level features a skylight that allows natural light to enter the stairwell, and a second toilet has been installed here for convenience.

The apartment features wooden window frames with double glazing throughout. The living room benefits from underfloor heating as an additional heat source. The living room, kitchen, and ground floor bedroom are finished with PVC flooring, while the upper bedrooms retain original wooden floorboards that contribute to the historic character of the property.

The heating and hot water system consists of a Remeha Tzerra ACE M28c CW4 gas-fired combination boiler installed in 2023. This boiler is owned by the property and represents a recent and efficient heating installation. The property holds an energy label C, which is valid until 2031. Insulation measures include roof insulation and high-efficiency glazing.

The property is part of an active homeowners association, with the current owner holding a one-half share. The monthly VvE contribution amounts to 171.97 euros. The association maintains a small reserve fund of approximately 1500 euros at present. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce and holds a collective building insurance policy. It should be noted that the VvE does not currently have a formal maintenance plan in place.

Parking in the area is managed through a permit system with paid and public parking options available. The property includes an external storage space of 5 square meters in the form of a freestanding wooden shed in the garden. The total volume of the living space is 485 cubic meters.

The listing indicates that window coverings will remain in the property, and no formal inventory list of items is available. Delivery of the property can be arranged by mutual agreement and can take place on short notice. Given the construction period of 1906, the standard NVM purchase agreement will include clauses regarding general age, asbestos, and materials. Additionally, because the property has recently been rented out, a non-owner-occupied clause will be included in the contract.

The asking price for this property is 675000 euros, which translates to approximately 5672 euros per square meter of living space. Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM purchase agent to represent their interests during the transaction process.
