Loft-style living in this magnificent, early 20th century building in one of the best locations in Watergraafsmeer with a wonderful garden! This masterpiece, built in 1906, previously served as a school building, which makes its layout and spaces truly exceptional. With spectacular ceiling heights, open spaces and playful elements, this is truly a unique living experience where you'll want to come home. This fantastic residence is located on a car-free section of a very green street (Linnaeusparkweg). In a truly beautiful location in Watergraafsmeer, in the so-called golden triangle: Bredeweg/Hogeweg/Linnaeusparkweg. A particularly sought-after area of Amsterdam with the city center within cycling distance. Centrally located on the street is the large fountain beneath beautiful old trees, which gives the street a wonderful Mediterranean character during the summer months. Moreover, the residence is one of the widest buildings in Watergraafsmeer, with a stately natural stone entrance and spacious hallway with broad staircase. A truly unique apartment with a distinctive New York loft appearance. Large windows (and a ceiling height of approximately 4 meters!) on both the front and rear of the building provide optimal natural light and a sense of space and freedom. We assure you that upon entering you'll immediately experience a WOW feeling! Layout Stately covered entrance with intercom system, mailboxes and door to the entrance vestibule. Door to the central hallway and the well-maintained, stylishly carpeted broad staircase to the upper floor. However, we have the entrance to this beautiful ground floor apartment on this level. So no stairs up but stairs down. Welcome! As mentioned earlier, this is a former school building with large, broad and almost 4-meter high spaces. From the hallway we walk through to the overwhelming living room. A magnificent, sunken living area with fireplace and charming wooden floor elements. On the front side there is currently a large bedroom/home office and on the rear side a raised garden room. Both suitable for multiple uses, allowing you to be creative with the layout. The enormous dining room connects to the living room and garden. But of course it's also possible to bring the kitchen to the front of the building and create a bedroom/home office at the back. Plenty of possibilities. Both the garden room and the living kitchen provide access to the garden via double French doors. And it is FANTASTIC! Enclosed by mature trees and abundant greenery, providing ample privacy without blocking the sun. Featuring multiple terraces, intimate corners, a veranda and storage. A nice detail is the enclosed rear passageway. Practical and also wonderful for children. Safe and playful. This ground floor apartment also has a special second bedroom with 2 loft beds.
