Hogeweg 53

Characterful Townhouse on Hogeweg with Space, History and Plenty of Potential

In the heart of the sought-after Watergraafsmeer neighbourhood, this spacious and characterful townhouse on Hogeweg offers an exceptional amount of space and potential. This distinctive family home spans no fewer than four residential floors and stands on freehold land, offering approximately 226 m² of living space and a sunny rear garden of approximately 60 m².

Dating from 1903, this imposing property beautifully reflects the atmosphere of a classic Amsterdam townhouse, with generous living spaces, high ceilings and a characteristic layout. At the same time, the property offers considerable potential for those looking to modernise and possibly extend the house entirely to their own taste and requirements.

Only limited interior maintenance has been carried out in recent years. The property therefore requires modernisation and finishing to contemporary standards and personal preferences. This is precisely where the charm and potential of this home lie: a substantial townhouse with character, space and the opportunity to create a truly unique family home.

Layout
Raised Ground Floor – Entrance and Living Room

Through the characteristic entrance vestibule, you enter the spacious living room on the raised ground floor. Thanks to the high ceilings and generous proportions, this floor feels both spacious and impressive.

The living room is connected to the open-plan kitchen. The former balcony at the rear has been incorporated into the living area, creating an exceptionally generous living space.

Lower Ground Floor

The lower ground floor has good ceiling height and benefits from natural daylight at both the front and rear. This level includes a bedroom, utility/laundry room, toilet and bathroom.

The lower ground floor also provides direct access to the approximately 60 m² rear garden, which faces northwest. This pleasant outdoor space offers plenty of possibilities for creating a lush urban garden, a peaceful place to relax or an inviting setting for spending time with family and friends.

First Floor

The first floor comprises two spacious bedrooms. The front bedroom features a characteristic bay window, while another generously sized bedroom is located at the rear.

This floor also includes a bathroom. Both the rear bedroom and the bathroom have access to the rear balcony.

Second Floor

The second floor is arranged as a self-contained apartment, complete with its own kitchen, living room, bathroom and bedroom. This floor has a small balcony at the front and a more spacious balcony at the rear.

The layout offers a variety of possible uses, for example as accommodation for a family member, a home office or hobby space, or as an additional living level for the family.

A Home to Make Entirely Your Own

This is not a property for those looking exclusively for a turnkey home. This is a house for those who appreciate character and potential.

The generous proportions, four residential floors, distinctive appearance and freehold tenure provide an exceptional foundation. The property requires modernisation, while at the same time offering the opportunity to tailor the layout, finishes and atmosphere entirely to the wishes of its new owner.

For those who can see beyond the current finish and recognise the potential of this townhouse, there is an opportunity to create a unique and personal family home in one of Watergraafsmeer's most sought-after locations.
