This magnificent townhouse is situated in one of The Hague’s most sought-after residential locations, between the city centre and Scheveningen, in the historic Statenkwartier. Designated as a protected cityscape, the Statenkwartier is renowned for its rich history and distinctive architecture, characterised by impressive townhouses, villas and listed buildings, many with striking façades and characteristic turrets. Johan van Oldenbarneveltlaan is widely regarded as one of the most desirable avenues in the Statenkwartier. This broad, tree-lined avenue lies within The Hague’s International Zone and is within easy reach of the elegant shops, restaurants and cafés of Frederik Hendriklaan, locally known as ‘De Fred’. The French and German schools, several parks, the beach and sea, public transport and main arterial roads are all close by.

For those who enjoy sports and the outdoors, the nearby Scheveningse Bosjes provide a beautiful setting for walking, running and enjoying nature. There is an excellent choice of public transport connections, while Amsterdam, Utrecht and Rotterdam are all easily accessible. The Hague is also well connected to international rail services towards Antwerp, Brussels, Paris and Düsseldorf, as well as Rotterdam The Hague Airport and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Quality in every detail Carefully renovated as a tribute to its history, yet designed entirely for modern-day living, Johan van Oldenbarneveltlaan 32 underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2023 and has been transformed into a townhouse of exceptional quality. The property retains an abundance of character and original details, while modern systems, high-quality finishes and an abundance of natural light create a home perfectly suited to contemporary living. The entrance hall, original marble flooring and a refined palette of warm, natural tones immediately create a calm and luxurious atmosphere upon entering. The high ceilings so characteristic of the Statenkwartier have been complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing natural light to flow throughout the house and enhancing its generous sense of space. Four balconies, two at the front and two at the rear, have been incorporated while maintaining the harmony of the historic façade and streetscape.
