A capital, beautiful villa, that is how we can call ‘Villa Aruba’ with its 555m2 living space on the border of The Hague and Scheveningen. With five terraces, mature trees and always a sunny spot, Villa Aruba is one of the most romantic and charming properties on the Nieuwe Parklaan. Rich in style elements such as ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows and spacious staircases, this monumental house exudes atmosphere, warmth, comfort and elegance on every floor. The villa is excellently maintained and, partly because of its beautifully preserved stylistic elements, a delight for the senses. This is living with a capital L. Villa Aruba, located at Nieuwe Parklaan 15 in The Hague, is a historic monument. Surrounded by woods, parks and ponds, and within walking distance of the beach and the city's most beautiful districts, the villa was designed in 1905 by architect L.A.H. de Wolf, commissioned by the Peek family (known from the former Peek & Cloppenburg department stores) and completed in 1912. Thanks to its architectural and urban planning value, the property is listed as a municipal monument and embodies the typical architectural style of the early 20th century. Nevertheless, Villa Aruba offers plenty of opportunities to be furnished to modern standards, keeping it a unique property. Layout Ground floor The villa features a spacious garden, accessed via an electrically operated gate. There is parking space for several vehicles, as well as a covered area for bicycles and scooters. Through a covered entrance at the side, you step into the elegant vestibule with glass doors and stained-glass windows. From there, you can go to a functional consulting room at the front with a working wood-burning stove, or to the spacious, bright hall with terrazzo flooring, wood panelling and a stately staircase. The hall provides access to a cosy lounge at the front, equipped with a fireplace, tall windows with stained-glass details, a fine ceiling and wooden flooring. Ensuite doors lead to the spacious living room with oak parquet flooring, a marble fireplace and a glass wall with a bright conservatory with bay window behind. The conservatory gives access to a spacious terrace with maintenance-free artificial teak, where you can enjoy outdoor dining all year round. Through a special corridor formerly intended for the staff on duty, you enter the modern kitchen, equipped among other things with a free-standing Boretti oven with five-ring induction hob, a built-in extractor hood, a Quooker, and a spacious stainless steel fridge with wine cooler and separate freezer compartment. Next to it is the cosy breakfast room, which provides access to the rear terrace with maintenance-free (artificial) teak flooring and steps leading to the garden. Basement Designed for sports and leisure, the basement is accessible from both the central portal and the back entrance. Here you will find a pantry, a laundry room, a bathroom with rain shower and washbasin, impressive wine cellars and a cosy living room currently set up as a cinema, with a bar next to it that would not be out of place in the centre of The Hague. First floor The bright staircase, with ornaments and stained-glass windows, leads to a spacious landing with parquet floor. At the front are two generous bedrooms: the master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and access to a covered balcony, and a second bedroom overlooking the Nieuwe Parklaan and access to a modern new bathroom with freestanding bath, double washbasin, toilet, walk-in shower, electric floor heating and a terrace. At the back of this floor is a smaller room with access to that same terrace, a separate toilet and a 3rd bedroom currently used as a wardrobe room with fireplace. Annexe At the back of Villa Aruba, a stylishly built annexe of approx. 30m2 has been constructed, which is ideal as an office or practice, a studio or gym or, for example, as a home for an aupair. The annex has a wooden floor and is equipped with a kitchenette and a toilet. The connection to the garden is ensured by two double French doors. To conclude Villa Aruba is a unique and monumental villa that brings together charm, history and luxury in a prime location. With its classic architecture, terraces and elegant interior, the property offers a great combination of ambience and comfort.
