Spacious Waterfront Detached Home with Private Deck in Wateringse Veld
Key Features
Upsides
- The property features a direct waterfront location with a full-width wooden deck, providing an attractive outdoor living space with water views.
- The ground lease has been perpetually established and fully paid off, eliminating ongoing erfpacht costs that are common with many properties in The Hague.
- With an energy label A+, 16 solar panels, and full insulation, the home offers strong energy efficiency and reduced utility costs.
- The layout includes two full bathrooms and multiple bedrooms across three floors, accommodating larger families or those needing home office space.
- The Wateringse Veld neighborhood offers comprehensive amenities including schools, sports facilities, and shopping, while maintaining good connectivity to major highways for commuting to The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Utrecht.
Downsides
- There is an inconsistency in the listing regarding the number of bedrooms, with the textual description suggesting six bedrooms while the features section states seven, which may cause confusion for potential buyers.
- The property uses district heating (stadsverwarming) rather than an individual heating system, which some buyers may view as a disadvantage due to less personal control over heating costs and potential dependency on the heating network provider.
- At a listed price of 1,450,000 euros, the price per square meter of approximately 5,918 euros is relatively high for a 2010-built property in a suburban development area outside the city center.
- Despite the ground lease being paid off, the property still has a leasehold (erfpacht) status rather than freehold (eigendom), which some buyers and lenders may view less favorably compared to fully owned land.
- The second-floor master bedroom and bathroom layout means the primary living quarters are on the top floor, which may not suit all preferences, particularly for those with mobility considerations or families preferring all bedrooms on the same level.
Description
This detached residential property is situated in the popular Wateringse Veld district, specifically within the De Binnentuinen section, located at Zevenwoudenlaan 46 in The Hague. The home is positioned directly at the waterfront, offering views over the water from various points within the house and garden. The property was originally constructed in 2010 and has since been thoughtfully updated by the current owners with attention to both comfort and sustainability.
The house occupies a generous plot of 470 square meters, providing ample outdoor space around the entire perimeter of the building. The garden has been fully enclosed with fencing, which enhances both privacy and security for residents. At the rear, the west-facing garden receives afternoon and evening sunlight, making it suitable for outdoor activities throughout the later parts of the day. A wooden deck stretches across the full width of the property at the water side, creating an inviting area for outdoor seating and relaxation while enjoying the waterfront setting. The garden includes various fruit and nut trees as well as a designated vegetable garden area, contributing to the green character of the outdoor space. A detached wooden storage shed is also present in the garden.
The interior of the home offers a total living area of 245 square meters, distributed across three residential floors. The ground floor features an entrance hall that leads to the main living area. The living room is characterized by large window sections that allow natural light to enter the space abundantly. A stylish sliding partition has been installed, enabling the creation of distinct seating areas within the open plan. Opening doors connect the living room directly to the rear garden and the waterfront deck. At the front of the ground floor, a spacious kitchen has been configured with a cooking island and various built-in appliances. The kitchen area includes an extension that accommodates a seating corner. Several of the kitchen appliances have been recently replaced. Additionally, the ground floor contains a separate toilet and a practical storage room with double doors, suitable for storing bicycles and other items.

The master bedroom on this level is fitted with air conditioning for climate control during warmer periods. The second floor also houses the laundry facilities with connections for a washing machine and dryer, additional storage space, and access to further storage via a pull-down attic ladder.
The property has been awarded an energy label A+, reflecting its efficient energy performance. This rating is supported by the presence of 16 solar panels, full insulation, and a district heating system that provides both space heating and domestic hot water. Mechanical ventilation is installed throughout the home to ensure adequate air circulation.
The ground lease (erfpacht) for this property has been established in perpetuity and has been fully paid off, meaning no ongoing leasehold payments are required. The property includes parking space for two vehicles on the premises.
