Description
Sunseekers take notes: a truly unique and spacious 3-storey upper house in the highly sought-after Duinoord district, featuring 5 bedrooms, an atmospheric living area, a modern luxury kitchen (2021), and a spacious terrace on every floor—including a roof terrace with perfect sun exposure on the top floor.
Key features: a fantastic residential environment, generous layout, charming with authentic details, full of natural light, unique outdoor spaces, move-in ready (no major renovations needed), and part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE).
Located between Koningin Emmakade and 2e Sweelinckstraat, the 2e Van Blankenburgstraat is named after Quirinus Gideon van Blankenburg (1654–1740), composer, music theorist, and organist of The Hague’s Court Chapel and later the Nieuwe Kerk. This part of the street is centrally located in Duinoord and is known for its beautiful lower and upper houses dating from around the turn of the 20th century. Duinoord sits right in the middle of all key locations in The Hague—close to the city centre, the beach, train stations, and major roads. The area is also rich in green spaces, such as Zorgvliet Park.
The neighborhood is famous for its stunning architecture, with playful façades, traditional high ceilings with ornate plasterwork and cornices, panel doors, sliding room dividers, and marble fireplaces—features that appeal to many. The area’s main shopping street, Reinkenstraat, is a lively traditional shopping street filled with high-quality artisanal shops including two butchers, a cheesemonger, several bakeries (some open on Sundays), a fishmonger, a French deli, and a greengrocer, along with cozy cafés, lunch spots, and restaurants. The beloved Frederik Hendriklaan is also just a few minutes away by bike. Excellent schools—both Dutch and international—are plentiful in the direct vicinity.
Layout (please refer to the floor plans for exact measurements):
A private entrance at street level leads to the hallway with the meter cupboard. A staircase brings you to the first floor, where a landing provides access to a spacious toilet with a hand basin, and a separate storage and cloakroom closet. The floors are laid with a beautiful herringbone parquet with border and band, which continues into the rooms.
At the front, the side room has been transformed into a stylish walk-in wardrobe with a custom-made closet. The elegant en suite living and dining rooms can be entered through the dining room. The living room at the front features an original marble fireplace with gas fire and an ornate ceiling, adding to the character of the room. The traditional en suite separation with stained glass sliding doors is flanked by built-in storage cabinets.
At the rear is the spacious dining room with an extended conservatory area and open-plan kitchen. This warm and inviting space forms the heart of the home, with French doors leading to the first terrace, bringing the outdoors in during summer months. The terrace is pleasantly sheltered and enjoys afternoon and evening sun.
The luxury kitchen was renovated and opened up in 2021. It features a sleek yet inviting look with a perfect mix of stainless steel appliances and a refined white quartz countertop. The kitchen includes a full 6-burner gas stove with extractor, a dishwasher, and space for a double fridge-freezer. The corner layout and numerous base cabinets provide plenty of storage and ample workspace, including a breakfast bar created in the former conservatory.
A comfortable staircase with stylish original banisters leads to the second floor. Here you will find another landing with a second toilet and a separate laundry cupboard for washing machine and dryer. This floor contains four bedrooms.
At the front: a side bedroom and next to it, a spacious master bedroom. Between the front and rear bedrooms is the modern luxury bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower, bathtub, double washbasin vanity unit, and designer radiator. At the rear are two more generously sized bedrooms. The largest has French doors to the second balcony, which is also sheltered and faces northwest. This room is currently used as a home office, while the rear side room is now arranged as a large walk-in closet.
Back on the landing, the next staircase leads to the top floor, which is truly one-of-a-kind. The rear façade has been set back slightly, allowing for a large glass wall that lets in abundant natural light. In the current layout, this space is used as a family room and guest suite. There's additional storage space here, the central heating unit, and a pantry.
The second bathroom on this level features a large shower, separate toilet, and washbasin—adding even more comfort and luxury. French doors provide access to the spacious rooftop terrace, which enjoys sun all day long thanks to its size and positioning. It’s the perfect place to relax and soak up the sun in peace and privacy.
