Peaceful Family Home with Spacious Garden in Green Ommoord
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is located on a quiet, car-free street which provides a safe and peaceful environment, particularly beneficial for families with children.
- The backyard is exceptionally deep at 10 meters with a width of 7 meters, offering substantial outdoor living space that is larger than typical for this type of property.
- The home has been well-maintained with recent updates including a new electrical panel in 2024, interior and exterior painting in 2023-2024, and a modern combi boiler installed in 2023.
- The location offers excellent connectivity with metro access to Rotterdam center, proximity to shopping centers, and quick access to major highways A13, A16, and A20 within approximately five minutes.
- The current three-bedroom layout can be easily converted back to four bedrooms, providing flexibility for different family needs.
Downsides
- The property is subject to ground lease (erfpacht) which, although paid until 2088, adds complexity and potential future costs if not bought out to full ownership.
- The delivery date is not until September to October 2026, requiring a significant waiting period before the buyer can move in.
- The energy label is C, indicating moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher energy costs compared to more modern or renovated properties with better labels.
- Both an asbestos clause and an age clause will be included in the purchase agreement due to the 1973 construction year, which is standard but indicates the property may contain asbestos and carries risks associated with older construction.
- The property only offers public parking, meaning residents do not have a dedicated parking space or garage.
