Spacious Semi-Detached Family Home with Sauna and Solar Panels in Fascinatio
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy efficiency with 20 solar panels and energy label A, resulting in lower energy costs.
- Private wellness facility with an in-home sauna, a rare feature for a semi-detached house.
- Excellent location with free neighborhood parking, two nearby metro stations, and quick access to Rotterdam city center and major highways.
- Comprehensive amenities including an electric vehicle charging station, attached garage, and south-facing garden.
- Modern and complete finish with underfloor heating, air conditioning, mechanical ventilation, and a luxurious bathroom with double vanity and rain shower.
Downsides
- The garden measures only 60 square meters, which is relatively modest for a property of this size and price point.
- As a semi-detached house, you share a wall with the neighboring property, which means less privacy compared to a fully detached home.
- The property uses city heating rather than a gas connection, which some buyers may prefer for cooking flexibility or personal preference.
- At 4,781 euros per square meter, the price per square meter is relatively high for the Capelle aan den IJssel area.
- The property was built in 2010, so it is not new construction and may require maintenance on certain components in the coming years.

The living room is generously proportioned and benefits from abundant natural light through large windows. The interior is finished with neat tile flooring, plastered walls, and a plastered ceiling, creating a clean and contemporary aesthetic. Sliding doors connect the indoor living space with the outdoor area, providing a seamless transition to the garden.

The second floor adds further space and functionality to the property. Here you will find a landing with a skylight, a practical laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, and extra storage space behind the knee walls. The fourth bedroom on this level is spacious and atmospheric, thanks to the dormer window and an additional skylight. Storage space is also plentiful on this floor.
A distinctive feature of this property is the presence of a sauna, offering a private wellness experience at home. This addition sets the property apart from typical family homes in this segment and provides a dedicated space for relaxation and health.
The property includes several sustainability and comfort features. Twenty solar panels are installed on the roof, contributing to reduced energy costs.
