A-MA-ZING duplex in lovely Watergraafsmeer with its own front door on the ground floor. This house already offers a lot of space, but there is even more potential.

The Herschelstraat is a short and wide street around the corner from the Galileiplantsoen, in the middle of Watergraafsmeer. Due to the width of the street, the light entering the apartment through the four windows in the living room is very pleasant. This is the part of the street with the buildings with the extra high roof, making the duplex on the top floors extra spacious.

A house with literally a lot of potential.

The living area on the ground floor, 1st and 2nd floor is 98 m2, measured according to NVM Measurement Instructions. There is an unused attic under the high roof; in the adjacent apartments, an attic room (of approx. 20 m2) has been created (with permission from the HOA) with access to a roof terrace (approx. 10-25 m2). So plenty of opportunities for expansion.

The house can be lived in with room for expansion in the future or you can get started right away to turn this into your dream palace.

Layout
Private entrance from the street. Stairs to the 1st floor; hall with wardrobe under the stairs to the top. A bright living room with an en suite-like cupboard wall in the middle. Four large windows at the wide front. Dining area, open kitchen and balcony on the courtyard side.

There are no fewer than 3 bedrooms on the second floor.
Bedroom 1: 5.03 x 3.57 m
Bedroom 2: 3.99 x 2.37 m
Bedroom 3: 2.54 x 2.73 m

The bathroom has a bath, sink and space for a washing machine and dryer. There is a separate toilet on the landing.

The attic could be converted into an extra bedroom (approx. 20 m2) via a staircase, and a roof terrace can be created on the flat rear roof. This requires permission from the HOA
/Municipality, but the deed of division already allows this.

This has already been carried out for several apartments within this HOA. Several roof terraces have also already been constructed. Installing solar panels also seems possible. The flat roof and the attic are already included as part of the apartment in the division drawing. You can get a good look at this on Google Earth.
