Spacious Waterfront Family Home with Energy Label A in Nesselande
Key Features
Upsides
- Energy label A rating indicating excellent energy efficiency, which results in lower monthly energy costs and a smaller environmental footprint.
- Waterfront backyard with a wooden deck offering unobstructed views and direct access to the water, providing a unique and desirable living environment.
- Spacious 162 square meters of living space across three floors, with the potential to create additional bedrooms on the second floor to accommodate growing family needs.
- Excellent location in Nesselande with proximity to the beach, shops, schools, sports facilities, and public transportation including the metro station within a 10-minute walk.
- Comprehensive insulation including roof, wall, and floor insulation combined with district heating for comfortable and low-maintenance living.
Downsides
- The second floor currently requires renovation work to realize the potential fourth and fifth bedrooms, meaning additional investment and effort would be needed to maximize the space.
- The backyard and rooftop terrace face northwest, which means they receive less direct sunlight compared to south-facing outdoor spaces, particularly during spring and autumn.
- As a terraced house (tussenwoning), the property shares walls with neighboring houses, which may result in some noise transfer between properties and less privacy compared to detached homes.
- The property only offers public parking without a dedicated parking space or garage, which could be inconvenient during peak times when street parking may be limited.
- The construction year of 2002 means the property is now over 20 years old, and some components such as the kitchen and bathroom, while described as modern, may eventually require updating.
Description
This fully insulated and extended family home is located in the sought-after neighborhood of Nesselande in Rotterdam. The property offers approximately 162 square meters of living space spread across three floors, featuring four bedrooms, a backyard with a wooden deck situated directly at the water, and a rooftop terrace measuring 13 square meters. The house is positioned on a quiet, dead-end street, providing a peaceful residential setting while maintaining convenient access to various amenities and transportation options.
Nesselande is known as a green and water-rich district that provides residents with a high quality of life. The neighborhood contains multiple schools, childcare facilities, playgrounds, and sports clubs for families with children. Shopping needs can be met at the Maltaplein, which offers a variety of stores. Dining options are available along the lively boulevard and near the lake area. The natural beach adds to the recreational opportunities in the immediate vicinity. Public transportation is well organized with both metro and bus services operating in the area. The strategic location near the A12 and A20 highways ensures excellent connections to Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht for commuters.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance leading to a well-maintained and light hallway. This hallway contains a toilet room equipped with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink, the meter cupboard, and the staircase to the upper floors. The spacious extended living room is a prominent feature of this floor, offering generous space for various seating and dining arrangements. A storage closet under the stairs provides additional practical storage. Sliding doors in the living room open directly to the sunny backyard, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The modern kitchen is situated at the front of the house and features a high-gloss white finish. The L-shaped layout includes an appliance wall and is fully equipped with a dishwasher, induction cooktop, extractor hood, oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and a bar area for casual dining or socializing while cooking.
The first floor comprises a landing and three comfortable bedrooms that benefit from abundant natural light. Two of these bedrooms are located at the rear of the property, while the third is positioned at the front. The modern bathroom is also situated at the front of the house, which allows for natural daylight to enter the space. This fully tiled bathroom includes a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a sink, and a designer radiator. The master bedroom at the rear of the property features a large built-in closet with sliding doors, providing ample wardrobe space. A second toilet is located separately from the bathroom and is equipped with a wall-hung toilet and a small sink, adding convenience for the household.
The second floor of the property offers a spacious open attic area that currently functions as additional living space with significant storage potential. Dormer windows at both the front and rear of this floor bring in natural light and create headroom. According to the listing, this floor has the potential to be converted into two generous bedrooms along with a separate laundry room. The connections for laundry appliances are already present on this level, facilitating any future renovation plans.
The outdoor spaces of this property are particularly noteworthy. The rooftop terrace measures 13 square meters and faces northwest, offering a private outdoor area with views of the surroundings. The backyard is a definite highlight, as it is situated directly at the water with a wooden deck and unobstructed views. This outdoor space is oriented to the northwest, which means it receives afternoon and evening sun during the summer months. A bicycle storage area of approximately 4.5 square meters is located in the front yard, providing secure storage for bicycles.
Technical specifications of the property include a construction year of approximately 2002. The living area measures approximately 162 square meters, while the building-bound outdoor space totals 19 square meters including the rooftop terrace. External storage space amounts to 5 square meters. The plot covers 180 square meters of owned land, and the volume of the property is approximately 573 cubic meters. The property features double glazing throughout and benefits from comprehensive insulation including roof, wall, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided through the district heating system, which is a low-maintenance and efficient option.
The location offers several practical advantages for daily living. The Nesselande beach can be reached on foot in approximately 15 minutes, providing a recreational destination close to home. The first supermarket is a four-minute bicycle ride away for grocery shopping. The Nesselande metro station is accessible by a ten-minute walk or a three-minute bicycle ride, connecting residents to the broader Rotterdam public transportation network. Free public parking is available in the surrounding area for residents and visitors.
This property presents a combination of space, energy efficiency, and a desirable location near water and recreational facilities. The energy label A rating indicates that the property meets high standards of energy efficiency, which translates to lower energy costs for the future owner. The potential to create additional bedrooms on the second floor offers flexibility for growing families or those who require a home office space. The waterfront setting of the backyard provides a unique living environment that is highly sought after in the Dutch housing market.
