The property at Noorder Kerkedijk 161 is located in the Groot IJsselmonde district of Rotterdam. This is a family-friendly residential area with a relatively calm atmosphere, popular among families with children. The neighbourhood offers good accessibility to Rotterdam city centre and has various amenities nearby including the Keizerswaard shopping centre, schools, and public transport connections. The area is known for its pleasant living environment with relatively little traffic and good liveability. Properties in this neighbourhood tend to sell above the asking price, indicating the popularity of the location.

The house was built in 1989 and has a living area of approximately 149 square metres. It has an energy label B, which indicates a reasonably energy-efficient property. The house has three full residential levels, making it a versatile home with plenty of space for different living arrangements.

The basement is a full residential level with its own facilities. It includes a living room or recreation space, a bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a storage area. There is direct access to the rear garden from the basement level, making it suitable for use as a separate living unit or for teenagers, guests, or home office purposes.

The ground floor features an entrance hall, a modern kitchen that was installed in 2022, a spacious living room, and a toilet. There is also a balcony on this level. The ground floor has underfloor heating, which provides an even and comfortable indoor climate. An extension of approximately 2.4 metres was added in 2010, which has increased the living space on this floor.

The first floor contains a landing, two spacious bedrooms, and a bathroom. In total, the house has three bedrooms spread across the basement and first floor. The property has two bathrooms and three toilets in total, providing good facilities for a family home.

Various recent improvements have been made to the property. The kitchen on the ground floor was renewed in 2022. The window frames were replaced in 2022 and 2023. The central heating boiler was installed in 2023 and runs on gas. The fence in the garden was replaced in 2025. These recent updates indicate that the property has been well maintained by the current owner.

The rear garden is approximately 10 metres deep and 6 metres wide. In the garden there are two sheds, one of which was added later, providing useful storage space or a hobby area. The garden can be accessed directly from the basement level.

The property is equipped with rolling shutters and a sunshade, which provide both extra privacy and protection against sun and heat during warmer months. These features contribute to the comfort of the home.

There is an option to purchase or rent an additional approximately 30 square metres of land at the rear of the property. The purchase price is approximately 198 euros per square metre, and the rental price is approximately 723 euros per year. This extra space could be used to extend the garden or for other purposes.

The property is subject to ground lease (erfpacht). The ground lease has been paid up to 14 March 2038. The ground lease period runs until 14 March 2087. The indication for buying out the remaining period is approximately 7,000 euros. Buyers should take this into account when considering the total cost of the property.

Parking in the area is a combination of paid parking and public parking. There is no dedicated parking space or garage included with the property.

The asking price is 440,000 euros costs to buyer (k.k.), which translates to approximately 2,953 euros per square metre of living space. The property is available for viewing by appointment.

The IJsselmonde district is located on the south bank of the Maas river in Rotterdam. It is one of the larger residential areas of the city and has developed into a well-established neighbourhood with a strong community feel. The presence of many families with children creates a safe and pleasant environment for raising a family. Local amenities are within easy reach, and the connection to the city centre is convenient for those who work or study in the central parts of Rotterdam.

The architecture of the property reflects the building style typical of the late 1980s in this area. The house is described as a dijkwoning, which refers to its location along a dike. This type of positioning often provides interesting views and a slightly elevated position compared to surrounding properties. The flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material is characteristic of this building period and style.

The internal layout of the property has been optimised over the years, most notably with the extension added in 2010. This extension has increased the living space on the ground floor, creating a more open and spacious feel to the main living areas. The modern kitchen installed in 2022 ensures that the heart of the home is up to current standards and ready for immediate use without additional investment required from the buyer.

The heating system has been recently updated with a new gas-fired central heating boiler installed in 2023. This means that the main heating appliance is still under warranty and should provide reliable service for many years to come. Combined with the energy label B and the presence of HR-glass (high efficiency double glazing), the property should have reasonable energy costs compared to older properties without these features.

The underfloor heating on the ground floor is a particularly desirable feature that provides even heat distribution without the need for radiators on the walls. This creates a cleaner aesthetic and can contribute to a more comfortable living environment, especially during the colder months.

The window frames that were renewed in 2022 and 2023 not only improve the appearance of the property but also contribute to better insulation and lower energy consumption. New window frames typically have better sealing properties and may include improved glazing, both of which help to reduce heat loss.

The garden fence that was replaced in 2025 demonstrates that the current owner has continued to maintain and improve the property right up to the time of sale. This attention to ongoing maintenance is a positive indicator of how the property has been cared for during the period of ownership.

The external storage space of 15 square metres, comprising the two sheds in the garden, provides useful additional space that is separate from the main living areas. One of these sheds was added later, indicating that the previous owner saw the need for additional storage and took steps to provide it.

The building-related outdoor space of 11 square metres refers to the balcony on the ground floor. This outdoor space provides an additional area to enjoy fresh air without leaving the immediate vicinity of the home.

The total volume of the property is 477 cubic metres, which is a substantial amount of space for a semi-detached house. This volume, combined with the 149 square metres of living space, confirms that this is a generously proportioned family home.

For buyers considering this property, the ground lease situation should be carefully reviewed. While the ground lease is paid until 2038, there remains a period from 2038 to 2087 that would need to be addressed. The indicated buy-out cost of approximately 7,000 euros for this remaining period is a factor to consider in the overall budget for purchasing the property. It would be advisable for interested parties to seek clarification on the exact terms and conditions of the ground lease before making a final decision.

The option to acquire additional land at the rear of the property presents an interesting opportunity for buyers who may want more outdoor space. At approximately 198 euros per square metre, the cost of purchasing this additional 30 square metres would be around 5,940 euros. Alternatively, renting at 723 euros per year provides flexibility for those who prefer not to commit to a purchase but still want access to the extra space.
