Nicolaïstraat 42517 TB Den HaagStadhoudersplantsoen

Surprising 3-story townhouse – built in 1904 – with many authentic stylistic details. A challenge to adapt this house in its own style to meet the requirements and wishes of today. Nicolaïstraat is beautiful due to the colorful variety of turrets, dormers, bay windows, and other embellishments. The cozy, varied shopping streets with their terraces on Frederik Hendriklaan and Reinkenstraat are nearby. The main roads and Park Zorgvliet are easily accessible, as are the sea and the Scheveningen harbor. Tram and bus stops are within walking distance. An added bonus is the three museums: the Museon, the Photo Museum, and the Art Museum in the immediate vicinity. The owner is the oldest resident of this street and feels seen and safe by her neighbors, partly due to the use of the street app in Dutch and English (the street is also popular with expats, partly because of the international schools in the area). The Duinoord residential area is a pristine example of a late 19th-century city district with a dominant Neo-Renaissance style, designated as a protected cityscape since 1996. Partially demolished for the construction of the Atlantic Wall, much has been preserved, including this quiet, beautiful little street, a feast for the eyes. It features an active Duinoord Residents' Council Foundation with many activities in the Community Center. This property has its own website; you can find the link under the download brochure button! Layout (see attached floor plans for dimensions): This beautiful townhouse is situated in the most sought-after part of Nicolaïstraat.

The spacious front room has 6 beautiful arched stained-glass transom windows, identical to the 3 in the front side room.
