UNIQUE RESIDENCE IN THE HAGUE WITH HISTORY, CHARM AND SPACE Kanaalweg 2-A | The Hague | €2,950,000 (costs payable by buyer) | approx. 425 m² living space | 10 bedrooms | built in 1906 Some homes are large, others are exceptional. Kanaalweg 2-A combines both. This impressive corner house, built in 1906, offers approximately 425 m² of living space, ten bedrooms, several balconies, spacious living areas, double conservatories, a garden and a cellar of approximately 65 m². Behind the characteristic façade lies a house in which the grandeur of its original era is still very much in evidence. At the same time, significant investment has been made since 2007 in maintenance, comfort and modern technology. As a result, the property offers a unique combination of authentic architecture and contemporary living comfort. STATELY ENTRANCE AND SPACIOUS LIVING AREAS Through the vestibule, you enter the impressive hall with its grand staircase. The original terrazzo floor, the Carrara marble and the characteristic detailing lend the entrance a stately air. The very spacious living room features a double conservatory, in which the original stained-glass has been carefully reused. The stained-glass was designed by a well-known Dutch artist and is one of the property’s most distinctive features. The spacious dining room features French doors leading out to the garden and offers plenty of room for long dinners and entertaining family and friends. At the front of the house is an additional room, ideal as a home office, study or cloakroom. A separate toilet completes the ground floor. The spacious kitchen provides access to the utility room and storage room. Various original kitchen features have been retained and restored, and combined with modern appliances. TEN BEDROOMS AND SEVERAL BALCONIES The first floor features five spacious bedrooms, three of which have balconies. Several rooms have fitted wardrobes. There is also an authentic bathroom with a bath and washbasin, and a separate toilet. On the second floor there are another five bedrooms, two of which have balconies. There is also a spacious landing with a washbasin, a third separate toilet and various built-in cupboards. The staircase on this floor is beautifully lit by the characteristic stained-glass skylight. Here too, the original character has been carefully combined with modern comfort. CAREFUL MAINTENANCE AND SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS Since 2007, the property has undergone thorough work on various essential elements. Among other things, the roof, façade, window frames and external doors have been replaced or renovated. The windows are fitted with HR++ glazing and the pitched roof has been re-roofed with new slate. The conservatories have also been rebuilt with a steel frame, new foundations and HR++ glazing, whilst retaining the original stained-glass windows. Furthermore, the electrical wiring, water and gas pipework, drainage system and various technical installations have been renewed. The property features a 300-litre insulated hot-water boiler, a hot-water circulation system and refurbished sanitary fittings. Inside, too, great attention has been paid to the finishes, including new Afzelia herringbone flooring, restoration of the original terrazzo floors and marble, and refurbished paintwork and plasterwork. The original character has been respected as much as possible. A fine example of this is the original steel safe in the cellar, which has been fully restored and is back in use. SPACIOUS BASEMENT Beneath the property is a very spacious basement of approximately 65 m² with various storage areas, a utility room and a boiler room. The utility room is equipped to accommodate two washing machines and a tumble dryer. The sewerage system leading to the street has also been renewed and asbestos has been removed; certificates of compliance have been issued for this work.
