Spacious 4/5-room top floor apartment with sunny balcony in quiet Leyenburg neighborhood
Key Features
Description
Located in the desirable Leyenburg district of The Hague, this well-maintained apartment occupies the entire top floor of the building at Vreeswijkstraat. The property offers a practical and comfortable living space with a total living area of 102 square meters, making it suitable for couples, small families, or individuals who appreciate extra room. The apartment is situated on the third floor, accessible via an open portico with stairs.
The entrance hall provides access to all rooms in the apartment. Here you will find the meter cupboard and a separate toilet room. The layout flows logically from this central point, allowing for efficient use of the available space.
The main living area is a combined living and dining room measuring approximately 11.02 by 3.48 meters. This room features an open layout that creates a sense of space and allows for flexible furniture arrangement. Two built-in closets offer practical storage solutions without taking up additional floor space. A sliding door provides direct access to the balcony at the rear of the property. The listing mentions that a fourth bedroom could be created by installing a partition wall in this living area, indicating the generous proportions of this space.
The kitchen is separate from the living area and measures approximately 4.08 by 2.14 meters. It is equipped with a four-burner gas cooktop, an extractor hood, a combination microwave oven, a refrigerator, and a dishwasher. This separate kitchen layout allows cooking activities to be contained while keeping the living area free from cooking odors. The kitchen also has its own door leading to the balcony, providing an alternative access point to the outdoor space.
The bathroom measures approximately 2.17 by 1.67 meters and is fitted with a shower and a vanity unit with sink. While compact, it provides the essential facilities in a tidy arrangement.
The apartment contains three bedrooms as currently configured. The largest bedroom measures approximately 2.48 by 3.53 meters. The second bedroom is approximately 3.16 by 3.53 meters with a sloping ceiling, and the third bedroom measures approximately 3.42 by 3.53 meters, also with a sloping ceiling. These sloping ceilings are characteristic of top-floor apartments and add character to the rooms while still providing usable floor space.
The balcony spans the full width of the rear facade of the apartment and covers four square meters. It is oriented to catch the afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant spot for outdoor relaxation during the warmer months. The outdoor space is covered under the building insurance included in the VvE contribution.
Residents have access to a collective bicycle storage facility on the ground floor, which is practical for keeping bicycles secure and dry.
The building dates from 1938 and features a flat roof with bituminous roofing material. The apartment has been updated with plastic window frames with double glazing, contributing to better insulation compared to the original single glazing. The electrical installation consists of four circuit groups plus two earth leakage switches. The central heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Avanta HR combination boiler from 2021, which is owned by the property and represents a relatively recent and efficient heating system.
The energy label is rated E, which is typical for an apartment building of this age. While the double glazing represents an improvement, further energy efficiency measures could potentially improve this rating in the future.
An important feature of this property is that it is located on owned land (eigengrond), meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to pay. This eliminates an ongoing cost that applies to many properties in Dutch cities.
The Owners Association (VvE) is active and professionally managed. The monthly contribution is 172.99 euros, which includes collective building insurance. The VvE has a healthy reserve fund of 223,569.39 euros as of the end of 2025, indicating prudent financial management. The apartment represents a 1/39 share in the VvE. A maintenance plan is in place, which helps ensure that necessary building maintenance is carried out systematically.
The Leyenburg neighborhood offers a range of amenities within walking distance. Shopping facilities are available at the Almeloplein and Monnickendamplein. The area has schools and public transportation connections including bus and tram services. The popular Zuiderpark, one of The Hague's major green spaces, is also accessible from this location.
Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking, public parking spaces, and parking permit systems. The property does not include a dedicated parking space.
The asking price is 349,500 euros, which translates to approximately 3,426 euros per square meter of living space. The costs associated with the purchase (kosten koper) are to be paid by the buyer.
The current owner does not occupy the property, which may facilitate a straightforward transfer process. The listing indicates that delivery can take place quickly, suggesting there are no long-term occupancy arrangements that would delay a sale.
Bids for this property are processed through the Eerlijk Bieden platform via the listing agent's website, which is a transparent bidding system used by some Dutch real estate agents to ensure fair and open offer procedures.
This apartment presents a straightforward opportunity to acquire a spacious top-floor apartment in a well-connected part of The Hague, with the practical benefits of owned land, a healthy VvE, and a relatively modern heating system.
