A classic upper maisonette in the Zeeheldenkwartier
This upper maisonette sits on the third floor of a 1903 building in the Zeeheldenkwartier, a lively part of Den Haag where the streets are lined with historic facades and the pavements hum with daily life. With two rooms, one bedroom and one bathroom spread over a single floor, it is a compact home with a clear layout. The asking price was €375,000. For context, the average asking price in the neighbourhood was €726,271, and the average asking price per square metre here was €6,303, while this home was listed at €7,500 per m². If you are weighing up your options, it is worth comparing with other [apartments in Den Haag]( /koopwoningen/s-gravenhage/appartementen/). This home has not been online since 28 October 2026.
Inside the home
The agent described this as an upper maisonette (bovenwoning) with a living area of 50 m², which matched the BAG registration. The home has two rooms in total: one bedroom and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The volume is 180 m³, and the property is in full ownership (volle eigendom). The monthly homeowners' association contribution was €35. The home had an energy label B, which was an efficient label, so energy costs should be relatively manageable. The building dates from 1903, a fact that speaks to its age but says nothing about its condition.
