Description
The residence known as Rooftop Dusk is positioned on Heemraadssingel in Rotterdam. It occupies the fourth floor of a building that was originally constructed in 1909. The structure was extensively renovated and modernised in 2019 and 2020. The renovation produced only four high end apartments in the whole block. The penthouse offers a blend of historic architecture and contemporary comfort. The entrance to the building is finished in marble and provides access to a stairwell and a private lift that serves directly to the apartment.
Inside the dwelling the living area is arranged around an open kitchen and a spacious living room. Large windows allow abundant natural light to fill the space. The living room includes a fireplace and a built in wall unit. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and features full width sliding doors that open onto a private balcony. The balcony runs the full width of the apartment and provides direct outdoor access from the main living space.
The layout includes two full bedrooms located at the front of the unit. A separate toilet with a fountain style wash basin is positioned near the living area. The bathroom is finished with a double vanity, a walk in shower, a freestanding bathtub and underfloor heating. A utility cupboard contains connections for a washing machine and a central heating boiler that was installed in 2019. The boiler is a gas fired combination unit that is owned by the apartment.
A distinctive element of the property is the roof terrace that measures approximately thirty five square metres. The terrace is accessed via a fixed staircase and offers a panoramic view over the Rotterdam skyline. The terrace faces south west and receives direct sunlight for most of the day. The outdoor area is suitable for seating, dining and leisure activities while enjoying the cityscape.
The total internal living surface is measured at one hundred twenty seven square metres. The property also includes forty three square metres of outdoor space when the balcony and roof terrace are combined. Ceiling heights are around two point six four metres which contributes to a sense of spaciousness. The building is fully insulated and holds an energy label of A. Technical provisions include a mechanical ventilation system, fibre optic internet connectivity and TV cable.
The owners association is in the process of being established. Annual contributions are indicated and a reserve fund is already in place. The seller’s agent advises prospective buyers to engage their own representative for the purchase process. Delivery of the apartment can be arranged flexibly according to the buyer’s schedule.
The location offers proximity to the Heemraadspark which provides green space within the city. Public transport links connect the area to central Rotterdam as well as to surrounding neighbourhoods. Nearby amenities include shops, restaurants and cultural venues. The building is situated on a quiet residential street while still being close to the lively city centre.
