An exceptional family home that combines the grandeur and character of a classic townhouse with the comfort and sustainability of a complete renovation carried out in 2024.
Situated on the green and spacious section of Willem Beukelsstraat in the highly sought-after Watergraafsmeer district, this impressive double ground-floor residence features two private entrances, a front garden, a generous southwest-facing rear garden, and beautiful unobstructed views over the surrounding greenery.
The property offers approximately 174 m² of living space across two floors and is characterised by impressive ceiling heights of over 3.20 metres, a wealth of original period features including stained-glass windows, fireplaces, original ensuite sliding doors, and a newly laid oak herringbone floor throughout. Thanks to the heat pump, solar panels, and HR+++ glazing, this is a future-proof family home ready for immediate occupation.
LAYOUT
Even before reaching the front door, it is clear that this is no ordinary home. The elegant 1914 façade, beautifully maintained front garden, and grand entrance staircase create a rare and impressive first impression.
Main Floor
Beyond the attractive entrance lies a living floor that immediately impresses with its sense of space, natural light, and original details. The classic ensuite reception rooms extend across the full depth of the house and form the heart of the property.
At the front is the living room, enjoying open views across the greenery of Zacharias Jansestraat. Original features such as the authentic ensuite sliding doors, stained-glass windows, decorative fireplace, and ornate mouldings reflect the rich history of the building. The ceiling height of over 3.20 metres further enhances the feeling of space, while the continuous oak herringbone flooring creates a calm and elegant atmosphere.
Through the ensuite doors, the dining room is located at the rear of the house. There is ample space for a large dining table, making it ideal for entertaining family and friends. The original fireplace has also been preserved here. Two sets of French doors open onto the terrace, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living.
At the rear is the spacious kitchen-diner, a place where much of daily family life naturally comes together. With room for a large dining table, French doors opening onto the garden, and direct access to the terrace, it is the perfect setting for long dinners, homework at the table, or a morning coffee in the sun.
The contemporary kitchen is fitted with high-quality ATAG built-in appliances, including an oven, combination microwave oven, induction hob with integrated extractor system, Quooker tap, and extensive storage space. A breakfast bar with seating has also been incorporated, offering a pleasant spot for a quick breakfast or a glass of wine while cooking.
Both the dining room and kitchen open directly onto the terrace and the beautifully landscaped southwest-facing rear garden, approximately 14 metres deep and completely redesigned in 2024.
Ground Floor
The staircase leads down to the bedroom level. This floor is also finished with the same continuous oak herringbone flooring, creating a harmonious flow throughout the home.
Adjacent to the staircase is a practical utility room, which also provides access to the second private entrance on the street and front garden side.
At the front of the property is a well-proportioned bedroom featuring original wooden shutters that add character while providing pleasant natural light.
Further along the hallway are a separate toilet with washbasin and the second bathroom. Designed with great attention to detail, the carefully selected materials and colour palette create a luxurious atmosphere that reflects the high standard of finish found throughout the home.
At the rear is a second spacious bedroom overlooking the beautifully landscaped garden. The original wooden shutters give the room a calm and inviting feel.
The principal bedroom is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the house. This generous room, situated at the rear, features French doors opening directly onto the garden and a raised sleeping area that creates an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a luxury hotel suite. There is also ample space for a sitting area or home office, while a large walk-in wardrobe provides excellent storage.
The ensuite bathroom has been finished to an exceptional standard and includes a double vanity unit, bathtub, walk-in shower, and toilet. The warm materials and refined detailing create a sense of understated luxury that perfectly complements the character of the home.
