Spacious Double Upper House with Roof Terrace in Benoordenhout
Key Features
Description
Located on the Weissenbruchstraat in the desirable Benoordenhout district of The Hague, this double upper house presents a compelling opportunity for those seeking a characterful home with generous outdoor space. The property occupies the upper two floors of a building dating from 1929, situated within a protected city or village view, which speaks to the architectural significance and attractive streetscape of this area.
The property benefits from its own private entrance, providing residents with a sense of independence distinct from typical apartment living. Upon entering, a staircase leads to the first residential level where the main living areas are arranged. The corner position of the building and the elevated location contribute to an abundance of natural light entering the interior throughout the day.
The living floor features a spacious room en suite configuration, a classic layout found in many period homes from this era. The original en suite doors with sliding separation divide the sitting area from the dining space, allowing for flexible use of the reception rooms. Stained glass windows and original fireplaces are preserved within these rooms, adding authentic period character to the living spaces. The modern open kitchen is positioned at the front of this floor, integrating contemporary convenience with the traditional layout. A toilet is located on the landing of this level for practicality.
Ascending to the second residential floor, three bedrooms are arranged to accommodate various household needs. The principal bedroom is situated at the front of the property and offers generous proportions. A second well sized bedroom sits adjacent to this. At the rear of the property, a third bedroom provides access to a balcony with a southeastern orientation, making it a pleasant spot to enjoy morning sunlight.
The bathroom on this floor is comprehensively appointed with a bath, walk in shower, double vanity unit, toilet, and bidet. A skylight has been installed to introduce additional daylight into this space. Underfloor heating adds comfort to the bathroom environment. The landing includes a practical storage cupboard housing the washing machine connections, keeping laundry facilities neatly concealed.
A fixed staircase leads to the highest level of the property, where the rooftop terrace is situated. Measuring 32 square meters with dimensions of 8.16 meters in depth and 4.33 meters in width, this outdoor space represents a significant asset. The open and elevated position ensures sunshine from late morning through the afternoon and into the evening hours. The terrace has been constructed with the appropriate permits in place, providing assurance regarding its legal status.
The property holds energy label E and is fitted with double glazing throughout, representing an improvement over the original single glazed windows typical of buildings from 1929. Heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant combi boiler installed in 2014, which remains in good working order given its age. Mechanical ventilation is present to support air quality within the home.
Situated on freehold land, the property carries a two thirds share in the active owners association. The monthly VvE contribution amounts to 150 euros. The association demonstrates sound governance with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual general meetings, a maintenance plan in place, a reserve fund established, and building insurance arranged.
The Benoordenhout location offers a well regarded residential environment with amenities within convenient reach. Shops, schools, and public transport connections are available nearby, while road connections provide access to surrounding areas. Green spaces and dining establishments contribute to the quality of life in this neighborhood. Parking in the area operates on a paid and permit system.
A structural inspection report is available for this property, allowing prospective buyers to review the condition of the building elements. Given the original construction year of 1929, the purchase agreement will include materials and age clauses as is standard practice for older properties in the Netherlands. The delivery date can be negotiated between parties.
With 132 square meters of living space, 35 square meters of building bound outdoor space, and a volume of 486 cubic meters, this double upper house provides substantial accommodation. The combination of preserved period features, practical modern amenities, and the notable roof terrace creates a distinctive residential offering in one of The Hague's established neighborhoods.
