Description
Elegant, period 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse with deep back garden and (optional) off-street parking in The Hague’s most desirable neighborhood: Archipel.
Originally built in the late 19th century, this exquisite property has been reconfigured and refurbished to exacting standards, resulting in a total transformation that retains a classic feel while incorporating state-of-the-art luxuries.
This location is a perennial favourite, just a short walk from the excellent shops and restaurants in the Bankastraat, Frederikstraat, and Denneweg. Both the seaside and the green open spaces of the Scheveningse Bosjes are mere minutes by bike. There are several public transport lines right around the corner and the entrance to major motorways is less than a 5 minute drive away.
Layout:
Past the classic paneled double front door is a spacious terrazzo-floored vestibule and hallway with a guest lavatory. Doors from the hall open to large open concept sitting (or dining) room, which extends to the adjoining kitchen and sunroom/dining area and features a cozy gas fireplace.
The standout feature of this level is the huge luxurious kitchen with under-floor heating. It is lavishly equipped with two ovens, an induction cooktop, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and Quooker (on demand boiling water installation), and has a bar-top table that separates it from the dining area. From here, French doors lead to the big, sunny (southwest-facing) patio and garden that not only is nicely landscaped, but also not overlooked and thus wonderfully – and atypically - private.
At the top of the stairs to the first floor is a landing with a separate wc featuring an antique Delft Blue washbasin, and access to a balcony. Off this landing are two exquisite reception rooms separated by original sliding doors, an adjoining rear-facing sunroom (very suitable as a study), and a kitchenette with microwave, bar fridge, and dishwasher. Highlights include gorgeous decorative plaster ceilings, parquet flooring, marble-clad fireplaces, ornate chandeliers, and stunning stained-glass windows.
The second floor has two good-sized bedrooms, of which one has a balcony overlooking the back, a walk-in closet, and a bathroom with walk-in shower, vanity, and wc. Traditional flourishes such as intricate plaster ceilings, fireplace mantels, and plank floors complete the home’s classic look and feel.
The third floor has a landing with access to the good-sized attic, and two big bedrooms, each with a mezzanine, high ceilings, and exposed wooden beams. There is also a separate laundry room, a wc, and a full second bathroom with under-floor heating, walk-in shower, double vanity with vessel sinks, and a free-standing claw-footed bathtub.
