4SALE! EXTRA-WIDE TOWNHOUSE IN DUINOORD DATING FROM 1893: A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF HISTORY AND SUSTAINABILITY (ENERGY LABEL A) 1st Sweelinckstraat 31 is an impressive townhouse that combines the grandeur of 19th-century The Hague with 21st-century technology (following a meticulous renovation in 2025). With a generous living area of no less than 339 m², an extra-wide 8-metre façade, 9 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a rare energy label A, this is the ultimate family home for those unwilling to compromise. LIVING COMFORT The house breathes the atmosphere of 1893. On the ground floor, you are welcomed by rich herringbone parquet flooring and impressive ornamental ceilings. The original en-suite separations with sliding doors have been preserved, as well as the stained-glass windows that filter the light in a unique way. On the upper floors, you will find the original wide plank floors, further emphasizing the character of the home. The kitchen-diner (2020) forms the beating heart of the house. Equipped with a professional Wolf oven and Gaggenau microwave, this space offers everything a culinary enthusiast could wish for. With 9 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, this property is ideally suited for large families seeking space and comfort in a safe urban environment, or for expats and diplomats who value a move-in-ready home with a strong sustainability profile near the international zone (OPCW, Europol, Eurojust). This townhouse also offers the ideal combination of living and working. Thanks in part to the extra-wide façade and the impressive front rooms, these spaces lend themselves perfectly to a home office or practice. Over the years, the property has been meticulously maintained with a strong focus on quality. Where many historic homes suffer from deferred maintenance, this property has seen investment down to the smallest details: • The Building Envelope (2025): The front façade is fitted with high-quality vacuum glazing (performance comparable to triple glazing), while the rear features HR++ glass. In 2025, the window frames were renovated and fitted with draft-proofing strips, the façades were impregnated, and all woodwork at the front and rear was professionally stripped and repainted. • Technology & Comfort: Central heating boiler from 2023, 17 solar panels, roof insulation, insulated glazing, and Tonzon floor insulation ensure extremely low energy consumption (approx. €325 per month). The zinc work was renewed in phases (2023 and 2025), keeping the roof and drainage in excellent condition. • Interior: The stately staircase connecting all four residential floors was newly carpeted in 2025, creating a calm and luxurious unity in the stairwell. The main bathroom was renovated in 2025, and the second-floor bathroom was completely renewed. In addition to 9 spacious to very spacious bedrooms, the house offers 3 full bathrooms, each equipped with both a bathtub and a shower. OUTDOOR LIVING The over 15-metre-deep rear garden (approx. 75 m²) is a rarity in this neighbourhood. Thanks to its depth, you benefit from a unique sun orientation: while one half captures sunlight throughout the day, the other half offers a natural shaded retreat. LOCATION Living on Sweelinckstraat means living in the city’s cultural and culinary hotspot. Duinoord is known for its monumental squares and quiet, stately streets. Just around the corner lies Reinkenstraat, a “village within the city” with artisan bakeries, a wide range of specialty shops, and inviting terraces. The vibrant Prins Hendrikstraat (Zeeheldenkwartier) and “De Fred” (Aert van der Goesstraat/Frederik Hendriklaan) are also within walking distance. Located in the heart of the international museum quarter, Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Museon, and the Fotomuseum are just minutes away on foot. The neighbourhood is extremely popular with the international community.
