Herengracht 19-H2511 EG Den HaagUilebomen

**Classic meets modern!** That is the perfect description for this 3-room apartment, located on the 1st floor at the front of Herengracht. The apartment offers access to the communal garden at the rear and includes a large, separate storage space below the building. **The Past** At the height of the Dutch Golden Age, the wealthy Amsterdam patrician Cornelis Pauw had a "new house" built on The Hague’s Herengracht. His residence stands at what is now known as number 19/19a. A few years later, Michiel Pauw, directly next to his relative, built his own city palace. Over the course of four centuries, the exterior of these original buildings has obviously changed, but the floor plans have largely remained the same. Herengracht numbers 17 and 19 have been built and inhabited since 1647, with their current façade dating back to 1870. The Hague’s Monument Preservation Office once described Herengracht as a "building of general importance to the city of The Hague due to its beauty and its architectural-historical value as an exceptionally rich example of eclecticism in architecture from the third quarter of the 19th century." **The Present** In 2019, this monumental building was completely renovated, documenting and preserving all historically valuable elements. For example, the iconic windows with multiple panes were preserved but modernized with contemporary insulation. The imposing staircase with its skylight is another true spectacle. You enter through an impressive hallway with paintings on either side (the hallway is currently being renovated). You then proceed to the beautiful, light-filled staircase landing. Of course, you can also take the elevator, which takes you to the first floor. **Layout** Apartment entrance: hallway with cloakroom and access to the toilet and utility room with space for the washing machine and central heating boiler. Walking past the beautiful window area, you enter the luxurious open kitchen with a cooking island and cabinet wall, between which is a counter with a sink and Quooker. On the left are the fridge and freezer, and on the right, the oven and combi-microwave (Wi-Fi controlled). There is ample cupboard space on both sides. The cooking island includes various built-in appliances, such as an induction hob with integrated extraction and a dishwasher. There is also plenty of storage space here, with bar stools on the other side of the island. While cooking, you can enjoy the lovely view of the Herengracht. The open kitchen is adjacent to the elegant dining room, which flows into the living room. This space has impressively high ceilings (approx. 3.95 m). The living room overlooks the communal front garden and Herengracht, and all windows are fitted with beautiful app-controlled curtains. A custom-made cabinet with ample storage space has been installed along the wall of the living room. The ingenious wine glass cabinet completes the whole picture. The entire living area has a beautiful oak parquet floor. Continuing through, you enter the side wing where the bathroom is located. This includes a bath/shower combination, vanity unit, and a second toilet. You then move on to the large bedroom, which, like the rest of the apartment, is equipped with automatic lighting (Philips Hue Color spots) and electric app-controlled curtains. In the basement, in the other part of the complex, there is a large storage area with enough space for bikes and other items. Parking is available in the Helicon parking garage on Zwarteweg or the Muzen garage, with its entrance around the corner on Brouwersgracht. Residents have a parking permit and a visitor permit, though it’s uncertain if the municipality will reissue these permits.
