Bankastraat 106 in The Hague (Archipel District)
A distinguished four-storey townhouse of approximately 324 m² with an exceptionally spacious southwest-facing garden. Situated on the prestigious, elevated part of the Bankastraat – the “Banka Heights”, the highest point of the Archipelbuurt – this remarkable and characterful residence seamlessly blends the charm of a historic townhouse with the comfort and efficiency of modern living.
Located in the heart of the highly sought-after Archipel district – one of The Hague’s most picturesque and atmospheric neighbourhoods – this exceptional family home benefits from a unique combination of tranquillity, elegance and urban convenience. The area is renowned for its intimate, almost village-like ambiance, while the vibrant historic city centre, the lush Scheveningen woodlands, and the expansive dunes and beaches are all just moments away. A variety of exclusive boutiques, cosy cafés, fine restaurants and cultural venues are within walking distance. Central Station is reachable in approximately 10 minutes by bicycle, and excellent public transport connections and major motorways ensure convenient access both regionally and internationally.
This stately and imposing townhouse is a true reflection of sophistication and comfort. During its comprehensive renovation, great care was taken to preserve the building’s historic character. Original ornamental ceilings, elegant fireplaces, high ceilings and characteristic wooden flooring have been meticulously maintained, blending beautifully with luxurious contemporary finishes and modern amenities, including a lift serving all floors and underfloor heating in several rooms.
The magnificent country-style live-in kitchen is the true heart of the home: a spacious, inviting area ideal for elaborate cooking, convivial dining and relaxed family gatherings. The impressive living areas on the bel étage, together with four generously sized bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms, make this home perfectly suited to those who value space, refinement and comfort.
The beautifully landscaped, sun-drenched and exceptionally deep rear garden – a rare find in this neighbourhood – offers complete privacy and a wealth of space to relax, unwind, garden or entertain on warm summer evenings.
