Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright and spacious hall that provides access to all rooms. The living room is positioned at the front of the building and spans the full width of the property, creating a light-filled reception area with large windows that frame the beautiful views over the Aelbrechtskolk canal. The wooden flooring throughout the living space adds warmth and character, while the generous proportions of the room allow for various furniture arrangements.

These include an oven, four-burner gas hob, extractor hood, refrigerator-freezer combination, and dishwasher. The kitchen offers ample counter space and storage, making it suitable for both casual cooking and more elaborate meal preparation.
The property features two generously proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and provides direct access to the impressive roof terrace, which extends to approximately 52 square meters. This outdoor space represents a significant asset of the property, offering residents the opportunity to enjoy outdoor living and entertaining while taking in the scenic water views and the historic surroundings. The second bedroom is well-suited for use as a home office, guest room, or children's room, depending on the buyer's requirements.
The bathroom has been finished to a high standard and includes a luxurious whirlpool bath, a separate shower enclosure, a vanity unit with sink, and a design towel radiator.

Additionally, a private storage room measuring approximately 3.10 by 1.59 meters is located in the basement of the building.
The apartment is situated on freehold land (eigen grond), which means there are no ground lease concerns. The building is located within a protected cityscape (beschermd stadsgezicht), which contributes to the preservation of the historic character of the neighborhood. The property is equipped with double glazing throughout and has insulated facades, contributing to energy efficiency and thermal comfort. The central heating and hot water are provided by a HR combination boiler from 2004, which is owned by the property.
Delfshaven is one of Rotterdam's most beloved and historic neighborhoods, offering a unique living environment where traditional Dutch architecture, scenic canals, and a vibrant urban atmosphere come together. The area is characterized by its charming canal system, monumental buildings, and an excellent selection of restaurants, cafes, museums, and shops. The property benefits from excellent public transport connections and easy access to major road networks, making it convenient for commuters and those who enjoy exploring the wider city.
The monthly homeowners' association (VvE) contribution is approximately 82 euros, which covers the maintenance of common areas, building insurance, and contributions to the reserve fund. The VvE is actively managed and holds annual meetings. A separate parking space is available for purchase at an additional cost of 29,500 euros, located at the 2e Schansstraat. The parking space is exempt from ground rent payments for its entire duration.
The building dates from 1910 and features a composite roof covered with bituminous roofing and tiles. The foundation is largely constructed of concrete. The energy performance certificate rates the property at label D. A standard old-age and foundation clause will be included in the purchase agreement, as is customary for properties of this age.
