Exceptionally spacious townhouse with beautifully landscaped back garden in the desirable Statenkwartier.
This elegant, well-maintained home boasts an unusually wide footprint (almost 9m), and encompasses more than 400m2 of exquisite living space arranged over four storeys including 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 balconies and two studies.
Among the many exquisite period architectural details are marble and parquet floors, lofty ornamental ceilings, leaded glass windows, panelled doors, and decorative mouldings.
The location offers easy access to many of the city’s most popular amenities, including the harbour, beach, and boulevard of Scheveningen and of course the famous Frederik Hendriklaan, ‘the Fred’, with its wide selection of shops and cafes. In addition, a number of international (including the German, French, and European) schools are mere minutes away, as are several bus and tram lines.
