Your dream apartment awaits at the beginning of Eerste Hugo de Grootstraat, just around the corner from the Singelgracht, in the sought-after Frederik Hendrikbuurt. This charming one-way street, lined with beautiful trees, is home to elegant late-19th-century buildings dating back to around 1880.

The neighborhood itself has a rich history, with several streets named after the Dutch humanist and writer Hugo de Groot. Construction began here in 1881, and much of the original architecture has been preserved. Eerste Hugo de Grootstraat is a quiet residential street, similar in character to Derde Hugo de Grootstraat, but far less busy than Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat, which is a main traffic route.

The hall also offers access to a separate toilet and a practical utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. At the rear lies the bright living room, featuring large windows that let in plenty of natural light. The open kitchen creates a welcoming living space.

Foundation: The Homeowners’ Association (VvE) has decided to carry out foundation repairs. It is important to note that all costs will be borne directly by the individual members; there are no additional funds available within the VvE reserve beyond what is set aside for regular expenses such as painting, minor maintenance, or inspections. The new owner will be responsible for covering the costs of the foundation repairs (in 2026 or later), in proportion to their one-fifth share in the VvE. The agreements regarding this have been formally documented in the VvE records. The VvE is currently actively preparing for the repair works to ensure they can be carried out in a structured and efficient manner. The reconstruction (to its current state) of property number 5-huis will also be financed jointly by all VvE members. Preliminary quotations for this reconstruction amount to approximately €86,000.
