Description
Westeinde 29
A truly unique and grand monumental townhouse in the historical center of The Hague. The ideal combination of living above and working on the ground floor is possible here. The mixed zoning allows for a wide range of uses: service activities, cultural sector, retail, well-being, and more, as well as residential purposes (such as a co-living arrangement or an independent apartment). Well-maintained, three stories tall, with an arched gate, rear entrance, basement, and patio. High-ceilinged, atmospheric spaces on every floor with pleasant natural light. It features a spacious rooftop terrace with a spectacular view of the city. Key elements: location, location, location. Monumental status comes with all its associated advantages and subsidies. Definitely worth a visit!
Westeinde was the western entrance road to the old The Hague in the distant past. Nowadays, it is in the heart of the city center with all its benefits. Within walking distance, you'll find a rich mix of shops and supermarkets, as well as a variety of restaurants, cultural amenities including theaters, cinemas, and museums, the Binnenhof, the Grote Markt, and MCH Westeinde Hospital. It's also reasonably close to green spaces, the beach, and recreational facilities. Excellent accessibility via public transportation (two stops from Central Station), bicycles, and cars. Good parking options due to the permit system for residents and visitors in a large part of the city center, and the proximity of many parking garages.
This is a national monument with a long history dating back to the 16th century. It evolved from a small dwelling on the Agnietenklooster estate into a patrician house. From 1915, it served as a tailoring shop for the court, with a new roof on the front house for a furriery, an activity that required ample light. In 1977, it was charmingly restored in a modern way, including the preservation of the tall fireplace with a Carrara marble mantelpiece and various stained glass windows.
Currently, the property is being used as a residence, with the current owner running a contemporary art gallery on the ground floor for many years, which later was repurposed as a conference room and psychotherapeutic practice.

On the 2nd floor, there's the Loft where daylight freely plays. It's essentially one large space with a separate bathroom (bathtub/shower, toilet, sink, space for a washing machine, dryer, and central heating). Above the gate, there's an attic space for extra storage. On the left, a blue built-in wall with a kitchenette and cabinets and drawers in various sizes and shapes. Four windows at the sunny front, with tall windows on both sides. An extendable ladder provides easy access to the rooftop terrace. It's a comfortable and private spot to enjoy the sun and the view, shielded from the wind.
