Luxurious 29th Floor Apartment with Panoramic City Views in Rotterdam Center
Key Features
Upsides
- Exceptional panoramic city views from the 29th floor, offering a unique perspective over Rotterdam that cannot be replicated at lower levels.
- Prime central location directly on the Coolsingel next to the Koopgoot, with shops, restaurants, theaters, and amenities literally around the corner.
- Property is situated on own ground (eigen grond), meaning no ground lease obligations or additional periodic payments for the land.
- Modern open kitchen fully equipped with quality appliances including a Quooker instant boiling water tap and generous countertop workspace.
- Excellent accessibility with public transportation, highways, and Rotterdam Central Station all within short distance.
Downsides
- The monthly VvE contribution of 254 euros is relatively high, which adds to the ongoing monthly costs of ownership.
- The parking space is not included in the asking price and requires an additional purchase of 30,000 euros, significantly increasing the total investment if parking is needed.
- Energy label B indicates moderate energy efficiency, and the presence of only partial double glazing means there is room for improvement in insulation.
- Living on the 29th floor means complete dependence on elevators for access, which could be inconvenient during maintenance or malfunctions.
- The building dates from 1996, which while not extremely old, means the property does not benefit from the most modern construction standards and may require future updates.
Description
Situated on the 29th floor of the iconic Schielandtoren in the heart of Rotterdam, this corner apartment offers an exceptional living experience with approximately 97 square meters of living space. The residence provides a unique combination of urban convenience and a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere high above the bustling city streets below.
The location of this property is truly outstanding for anyone who desires to live in the center of Rotterdam. The apartment is located directly on the Coolsingel, one of the most famous avenues in the city, and right next to the Koopgoot shopping area. This means that residents have immediate access to a wide variety of shops, restaurants, theaters, and popular hotspots. Everything the city has to offer is literally around the corner, making this an ideal base for those who want to fully experience urban living.
Despite being in the middle of such a dynamic environment, the apartment itself maintains a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Being situated on the 29th floor naturally distances the living space from the noise and activity of street level, creating a pleasant retreat where one can unwind after a busy day in the city.
Accessibility is another significant advantage of this location. Public transportation options are abundant and within close proximity. Various highways and roads leading out of the city are easily reachable, and Rotterdam Central Station is just a short distance away. This excellent connectivity ensures that residents can quickly reach their destination, whether traveling within the city or to other locations.
The entrance to the building is located on the ground floor and is equipped with an intercom system and mailboxes. The complex has two elevators, which ensures quick and comfortable access to the apartment at all times. After exiting the elevator on the 29th floor, a communal hallway leads to the front door of the residence.
Upon entering the apartment through the hallway, one immediately steps into the spacious living room. The first impression is one of brightness and openness, thanks to the large window sections that allow abundant natural daylight to enter the space. From the corner of the living room, there is a truly magnificent view over large parts of the city. This panoramic vista is one of the defining features of the property and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
The modern kitchen is directly connected to the living room, creating an open and flowing layout. The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances for comfortable cooking. Included are an electric cooktop, an oven, a combination microwave, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, and a Quooker instant boiling water tap. The large countertop provides ample workspace for those who enjoy cooking and want to prepare elaborate meals.
The apartment currently has one large bedroom measuring approximately 15 square meters. Additionally, there is a second room of over 12 square meters that is currently being used as a home office and walk-in closet. This second room can easily be converted into a full second bedroom if desired, making the apartment suitable for various living arrangements and needs.
Both bedrooms are conveniently located adjacent to the bathroom. The bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower with a large showerhead. Furthermore, there is a double sink and a heated towel rail. The separate toilet is located opposite the bathroom and is equipped with a small sink.
Residents also have access to a private storage room of approximately 8 square meters, situated on the 7th floor of the building. This provides valuable additional space for storing items that are not needed daily.
A parking space is available in the underground garage of the building. This parking space is offered separately for a price of 30,000 euros and is not included in the asking price of the apartment.
The property is located on own ground, which means there is no ground lease to consider. The apartment has underfloor heating, contributing to a comfortable indoor climate. The building dates from 1996 and is classified as existing construction.
The energy label of the property is B. The insulation includes roof insulation, partial double glazing, wall insulation, floor insulation, and full insulation overall. Heating is provided through district heating and partial underfloor heating. Hot water is also supplied through district heating.
The active homeowners association charges a monthly contribution of 254 euros. The VvE is properly organized with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance.
The property has a usable living area of 97 square meters and an external storage space of 8 square meters. The total volume is 297 cubic meters. The apartment has three rooms in total, of which two are bedrooms. The property occupies one living layer, specifically the 29th floor.
Ventilation in the apartment is provided through both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, ensuring good air quality throughout the living space.
The cadastral designation is Rotterdam AF 1479, with full ownership status. The property is offered at an asking price of 525,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,412 euros per square meter. The property is currently available and acceptance is in consultation.
