Blijdorp is widely regarded as one of the most sought after residential areas in Rotterdam. The neighborhood is known for its 1930s architecture and features a central location that combines green surroundings with a peaceful atmosphere while remaining close to the city center. Residents have access to all daily necessities within walking distance, including supermarkets, specialty shops, restaurants, cafes, primary schools, and various sports facilities.
The Vroesenpark is located within walking distance and serves as a popular recreational area for local residents. During warmer months, the park becomes a lively gathering place where people picnic, exercise, and barbecue. The park also hosts various events throughout the year, contributing to the vibrant community feel of the area.
For transportation, the location is well connected. The city center can be reached by bicycle in approximately ten minutes. Public transportation options are excellent, with both Blijdorp metro station and Rotterdam Centraal Station located nearby. For those who travel by car, the A13 and A20 highways are easily accessible.
The apartment is accessed via a shared entrance leading to the private front door. Upon entering, you reach the hallway which provides access to all rooms in the apartment. The hallway contains a separate toilet and a fixed closet housing the central heating boiler. This layout ensures practical and efficient use of the available space.
The living room is spacious for an apartment of this size and benefits from abundant natural light due to the large windows. A wood burning stove is present in the living room, though it was last used in 2020. The living room connects to the kitchen in a semi open arrangement, creating a pleasant flow between cooking and living areas.
The kitchen is well equipped with a five burner gas cooktop, extractor hood, oven, and refrigerator. An additional fixed closet in the kitchen area provides space for a dryer, addressing practical laundry needs within the apartment.
The apartment contains one bedroom, making it suitable for individuals or couples. The bathroom is fitted with a shower and a vanity unit with sink. The bathroom also provides access to the balcony, which faces the side street and offers outdoor space for relaxation.
Several improvements have been made to the property in recent years. The roof covering was renewed three years ago, and the rear facade was cleaned two years ago. The windows feature high efficiency double glazing (HR+ glass) set in wooden frames, contributing to the energy efficiency while maintaining the authentic appearance of the building. The apartment has a laminate floor throughout.
Heating and hot water are provided by a Remaha Calenta 28C central heating boiler, which was installed in 2016 and is owned by the current owner. The property has an energy label C rating, which is reasonable for a building from 1938.
The property is situated on owned land, meaning there is no ground lease to consider. The homeowners association (VvE) is active with a monthly contribution of 129 euros. A multi year maintenance plan is available for the VvE, which provides transparency regarding future maintenance activities and associated costs.
Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking, public parking spaces, and parking permits. Prospective buyers should factor in parking costs if they own a vehicle.
The asking price is 335,000 euros, which translates to 6,700 euros per square meter. The purchase agreement will include an age clause and a non occupant clause. The age clause is standard for older properties and serves to inform buyers that certain requirements regarding building quality that apply to newer constructions may not be fully met. The non occupant clause indicates that the current owner does not reside in the property.
Transfer of the property will be arranged by mutual agreement. Interested parties are advised to engage their own purchasing agent to represent their interests during the transaction process. The selling agent, Voorberg NVM Makelaars, represents the seller in this transaction.
