Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment is located in the popular Liskwartier neighborhood in Rotterdam North, which is known for its attractive character and good amenities including shops, cafes, and supermarkets on the nearby Bergweg.
- The property includes a spacious east facing backyard of 38 square meters, which is relatively generous for a ground floor apartment and provides a pleasant outdoor space.

Downsides
- The energy label is F, indicating poor energy efficiency, and the property only has partial double glazing, which may result in higher energy costs and a less comfortable indoor climate.
- The apartment has only one bedroom with a total living area of approximately 58 square meters, which limits the suitability for larger households or those needing more bedroom space.
- The Homeowners Association is still in the process of being established, which means there is uncertainty regarding building management, maintenance planning, and reserve funds for future repairs.
- Parking in the area requires a permit or payment, which adds an ongoing cost and potential inconvenience for residents with a car.
- The building dates from 1936 and despite some maintenance to the front facade, older properties of this age may require significant future maintenance and renovation work.
Description
This ground floor apartment is situated in the highly sought after Liskwartier neighborhood in Rotterdam North. The property is located on a quiet courtyard area featuring a wide sidewalk and abundant greenery, creating an immediately pleasant and welcoming atmosphere upon arrival. The building dates back to 1936, which is reflected in the authentic architectural details found throughout the residence.
Upon entering the apartment through the private entrance, you step into a draft porch that leads to the central hallway. The hallway provides access to a fixed storage closet, the bathroom, a separate toilet, the kitchen, and both the front and back rooms of the apartment. This practical layout ensures that all essential areas are easily accessible from the main entrance.
The front room is spacious and benefits from excellent natural light streaming through the large window. The window offers a pleasant and unobstructed view over the wide green sidewalk in front of the property. One of the notable features of this apartment is the authentic ensuite separation between the front and back rooms, accomplished through original sliding doors. This characteristic element adds significant charm and character to the living space. Additionally, the upper window panes feature stained glass, further enhancing the authentic feel of the 1930s architecture.
The back room of the apartment provides access to the generously sized backyard. The garden measures approximately 38 square meters and faces east, making it an ideal spot to enjoy morning sunshine with a cup of coffee to start the day. The garden has a depth of 7.45 meters and a width of 5.11 meters, offering ample outdoor space for a ground floor apartment in this part of Rotterdam.
The kitchen is also located at the rear of the property and features a white color scheme with plenty of cabinet space for storage. It is equipped with a gas cooktop for meal preparation. From the kitchen, there is also direct access to the backyard, which reinforces the connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The bathroom is finished with white tiles and a light decorative border. It contains a walk in shower and a vanity unit with washbasin. The toilet is located separately from the bathroom, which is a practical arrangement for daily use.
The apartment has a total living area of approximately 57.65 square meters and a volume of 197 cubic meters. It contains two rooms in total, with one designated as a bedroom. The property is situated entirely on the ground floor, which means there are no stairs to navigate within the apartment itself.
The location of this property is considered excellent by local standards. The vibrant Bergweg is nearby, offering a diverse selection of cozy coffee shops, retail stores, and supermarkets for daily grocery shopping. Public transportation options are plentiful, with Rotterdam North train station and various tram stops within walking distance. For those traveling by car, the main arterial roads are easily and quickly accessible. Parking in the area is available through paid parking, public parking spaces, and parking permit systems.
The apartment is built on owned land, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The building has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas fired combination boiler that is owned by the property. The energy label is classified as F, and the property features partial double glazing for insulation. The front facade has been well maintained according to the listing information.
It is important to note that the Homeowners Association, known in Dutch as VvE, is currently in the process of being established. The monthly contribution for the VvE is set at 133.24 euros. As the VvE is still being formed, certain administrative aspects such as Chamber of Commerce registration, annual meetings, and a formal maintenance plan are not yet in place. This is relevant information for potential buyers to consider when evaluating the property.
The asking price for this apartment is 275,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,741 euros per square meter of living space. The property is currently available and the delivery date can be negotiated with the seller. This ground floor apartment with its authentic details, private garden, and convenient location in the Liskwartier represents an interesting opportunity for those seeking a home in one of the popular neighborhoods of Rotterdam North.
