COSY HOUSEBOAT SEEKS HANDY WATER LOVER!
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF THE HAGUE: HOUSEBOAT 'BLUE MOON' WITH WATERVIEW LIVING ROOM, ONE BEDROOM, BASIC KITCHEN AND BATHROOM, AND A FLOATING TERRACE ON THE TREKVLIET CANAL.
For the past 20 years, houseboat ‘Blue Moon’ has been lovingly inhabited by its current owner. Now, it’s looking for a new resident who isn’t afraid of a renovation project and dreams of waterside living along the peaceful Haagse Trekvliet. A truly unique place to live – right in the middle of the city. With the lively city centre just a stone’s throw away and beautiful open water views, this houseboat offers tons of potential.
WATERSIDE LIVING IN THE HEART OF THE HAGUE
Moored along the Trekvliet canal, just steps away from the bustling city centre, you’ll find this compact houseboat full of character and possibilities. The living room offers direct views over the water. Inside, there’s a cosy living space, one bedroom, a simple kitchen and bathroom, and a floating terrace – the perfect spot to relax in the sun or unwind to the gentle sounds of the water.
IDEAL LOCATION FOR CITY LOVERS
This location is truly ideal: within walking distance of Hollands Spoor train station, The Hague University of Applied Sciences, shops, cafés, restaurants, and cultural hotspots. A perfect base for students, young professionals, or creatives who want to live in the heart of the city while enjoying the peace and charm of waterside life.
A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE YOUR DREAM HOME ON THE WATER
In 2021, the street-facing and front sides of the houseboat were fitted with new maintenance-free window frames and double glazing. While the rest of the boat is in need of renovation, this gives you the opportunity to completely customise the interior to your own taste. Here you can enjoy the freedom of water living combined with the convenience of city life.
COME AND SEE – YOU’LL BE SURPRISED
And the best part? No direct neighbours – meaning optimal peace and privacy! If you're considering living on the water, you'll be happy to know the boat is sold free of transfer tax and notary fees (Dutch “v.o.n.”), so no additional purchase costs. Mooring fees are just €483.50 per year, including the floating terrace.
Curious about the possibilities of this houseboat? Don’t wait – schedule a viewing today. The agent will be happy to show you how special living on the water can be – especially in such a central spot in The Hague.
