Nicolaistraat 6 Sold

Description

Spacious (ca. 230m2) townhouse with 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a dream kitchen in one of The Hague’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
This captivating, energy-friendly and exceptionally well-maintained home seamlessly blends timeless elegance and contemporary finishes. Classic period details include paneled doors, leaded glass windows and sliding doors, terrazzo flooring, ornamental plaster ceilings, black marble fireplace surrounds and an original staircase.
The central location, on a quiet street in the prestigious Duinoord district, offers easy access to the city’s best shopping (Reinkenstraat and Frederik Hendriklaan), the seaside, several museums, (international) schools, and public transport. The Hague’s ‘International Zone’, housing organisations such as Europol, OPCW, and Eurojust, a number of embassies, and the World Forum, is within walking distance.

Layout:

Ground floor:
The front door opens to a beautiful vestibule with original leaded glass anti-draught door and terrazzo flooring which extends to the hallway, where there is a modern guest lavatory and door to a good-sized cellar. The spacious front room, featuring the original ceiling and leaded glass upper windows, is separated from the huge back room by sliding doors inset with leaded glass and framed by built-in storage cupboards. The back room comprises an enormous luxurious eat-in kitchen (Bulthap, installed in 2021), outfitted with a central island and a charming small bar area. Integrated appliances include an induction cooktop with downdraft extractor, oven, steam oven, fridge/freezer, double dishwasher, wine cooler, and Quooker (on tap boiling water installation). The bright adjoining dining room has a slightly lowered ceiling with indirect lighting that creates an especially lovely effect. A real standout feature is the huge wall of floor-to-ceiling glass panels that can open fully to the outdoors, virtually extending the living area to include the ca. 10-meter-deep back garden.

1st floor:
At the top of the stairs is a good-sized landing with a separate modern w.c. There are two rooms at the front, of which the larger one has a black marble mantel, original ceilings, and leaded glass transom windows. The main bedroom facing the back has a walk-in closet, black marble mantel, original ceiling, air conditioning and original doors to an adjoining sunroom. The stylish modern bathroom has a free-standing soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, under-floor heating, and a heated towel rail.

On the top floor is a bright landing with a big skylight, 2 front rooms (one with a marble mantel and original ceiling), and a back room with original ceiling, fitted wardrobe and Velux skylight. The bedrooms share a bathroom with shower, washbasin, w.c. and doors to a sunny terrace spanning the full width of the façade.
