About this home

Built in 1898 by Danish engineers, this impressive Ghent home facing the Hague was meticulously reimagined by the current owner in 2014 with stunning attention to detail. Careful consideration guided every design choice to ensure that period details and modern luxury would blend seamlessly. The custom Inclinator four-stop elevator even includes direct street level access. The dramatically designed basement level is fully functional living space with the engineering of sophisticated ground water management that prevents water intrusion. A very extensive list of high-end elements used throughout combine to elevate and enhance the enjoyment of living in this home. A private tour is required to fully appreciate this masterful reinvention. Annual Flood Insurance currently $483 a year!!
