Description

Located in the highly sought-after Watergraafsmeer, this fully renovated ground-floor apartment of approximately 96m² features a sunny rear garden, four bedrooms, and a high-quality multifunctional garden house. Over recent years, the property has undergone an extensive renovation and sustainability upgrade, with great attention paid to finishing, bespoke solutions, and comfort. The property is situated on freehold land. LAYOUT The living area is characterised by its open-plan layout and a variety of bespoke solutions. The kitchen features a Dekton worktop (scratch and heat resistant), integrated AEG induction hob with built-in extraction, a Selzius boiling water tap, and various built-in appliances by Bosch and ATAG. Throughout the property, custom-made cabinetry, integrated workspaces, and practical storage solutions have been incorporated. The apartment is further finished with steel-framed doors, an oak multi-layer flooring, and in 2024 the original single-glazed window frames were replaced with aluminium frames fitted with HR++ double glazing. The property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bathroom is equipped with a double rainfall shower, double washbasin, and anti-fog mirrors. Various smart home features have also been integrated, including Philips Hue lighting and smart radiator valves, allowing room-by-room temperature control. Directly beneath the apartment is a spacious basement storage area, currently used as a storage and workshop space. This area benefits from electricity, extra-high storage capacity, and offers potential for a direct connection to the apartment. GARDEN HOUSE The sunny rear garden enjoys a favourable position with afternoon and evening sun and has rear access leading to Christiaan Huygensplein. The garden has recently been upgraded with Bankirai decking, a bespoke garden bench, and integrated storage solutions. Power and water connections are available, and the garden is fitted with professional drainage. The garden house was completed in 2025 on a professionally constructed foundation with pile supports and serves as a fully functional extension of the home. It features its own bathroom with rainfall shower, toilet, fully equipped kitchen, smart central heating system, smart climate control, and internet connection. As such, it is ideally suited for guests, working from home, or accommodating an au pair. SUSTAINABILITY The property benefits from solar panels, additional insulation, and various upgraded installations. The roof was renewed in 2019, the boiler system was upgraded in 2021, and the mechanical ventilation system was replaced in 2023. The property also features an upgraded electrical panel with additional circuits. The combination of sustainability improvements and modernised systems has resulted in an Energy Label A.
