Elegant, stately and surprisingly spacious – a townhouse where space truly means space
Behind the characteristic façade of this impressive townhouse dating from 1893 lies an exceptionally spacious home with a layout and proportions that are rarely found today. Arranged over four full residential floors, the property offers generously sized rooms – no small box rooms here – high ceilings, two bathrooms, a superb walk-in wardrobe, a cellar, roof terrace and an approximately 10-metre-deep south-west-facing rear garden offering plenty of privacy.
Emmastraat is a charming, leafy and peaceful street, while everything the city has to offer is just around the corner. The popular Theresiastraat, with its wide range of specialist shops, stores, restaurants, cafés and terraces, is within easy walking distance. For a walk or some relaxation, the Haagse Bos is also close by. The Hague Central Station, the city centre, schools, sports facilities and the main arterial roads are all easily accessible.
A prime location where space, character and city living come together beautifully.
The full layout and dimensions can be found on the floor plans. Below is a summary of the accommodation.
Ground floor
Entrance through the vestibule into the spacious central hallway with a modern WC, staircase to the upper floors and a second hallway providing access to the cellar.
A beautiful and atmospheric living and dining room with the original en-suite sliding doors and built-in cupboards.
At the front is the living room (20 m²). Large windows and a ceiling height of approximately 3.28 metres immediately create a wonderful sense of space.
The original en-suite doors and built-in cupboards lead through to the generous dining room at the rear (26 m²), featuring a fireplace and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden.
Adjoining the dining room is the luxurious open-plan kitchen (10.6 m²), fitted with a comprehensive range of built-in appliances and also providing direct access to the garden.
The rear garden is one of the property’s major features. Approximately 10 metres deep and facing south-west, it offers an excellent degree of privacy and plenty of space for creating several seating and entertaining areas. A detached storage shed (4.5 m²) is located at the rear of the garden.
Cellar
The cellar is accessible from the ground floor and provides approximately 10 m² of useful additional storage space. There is also an access hatch leading to the crawl space beneath the living and dining rooms.
First floor
The impressive ceiling height of approximately 3.28 metres continues on this floor.
At the front is an exceptionally spacious room measuring 26.8 m². Its generous proportions make it ideal as a bedroom, but it could equally serve as a second sitting room, library or substantial home office.
At the centre of this floor is a separate walk-in wardrobe of 5.8 m².
The rear room measures 23.7 m² and, together with the adjoining bathroom, creates a particularly comfortable principal bedroom suite.
The luxurious bathroom (7.6 m²) is fitted with a bathtub, separate walk-in shower and double washbasin with vanity unit.
Second floor
Landing with built-in cupboard housing the central heating boiler and a modern separate WC with concealed cistern and hand basin. Generous front room measuring 27.8 m².

The modern second bathroom (7.5 m²) features a whirlpool bath and double washbasin with vanity unit.
Third floor
Beneath the characteristic roof structure is one large open space of approximately 37.6 m².
With a ridge height of approximately 3.47 metres and plenty of natural light entering through several roof windows, this floor feels remarkably spacious and bright.
A fantastic and versatile area that can be used entirely according to your needs – as an additional bedroom, studio, home office, playroom or a combination of these.
Outdoor space
The property offers not only an exceptional amount of indoor living space, but attractive outdoor areas as well.
Directly behind the house is the deep south-west-facing rear garden with a detached storage shed. In addition, the second floor has its own roof terrace.
