Description
This charming double ground floor apartment is situated at the Jericholaan in the popular Kralingen-West district of Rotterdam. Built in 1902, this property offers approximately 114 square meters of living space spread across the ground floor and a spacious souterrain (basement level).
The apartment is entered through an impressive facade into a property that has been finished to a high standard while preserving its original period features. The entrance hall includes a fitted wardrobe and provides access to the living areas. The ground floor is characterized by approximately 3 meter high ceilings, creating a bright and spacious atmosphere throughout.
The main living area spans approximately 13.94 by 4.67 meters and has been cleverly divided into two distinct spaces. The rear section serves as a generous living and dining room measuring approximately 6.22 by 4.67 meters. This room features a beautiful marble fireplace and opens onto the rear garden through double doors. The front section of approximately 7.72 by 2.70 meters accommodates a luxurious open kitchen by Bulthaup. The kitchen is fitted with a spoelbak and mixer tap, a 5-burner gas hob, stainless steel extractor hood, and dishwasher. A separate tall cabinet provides additional storage and houses a combi-oven and refrigerator-freezer. The front of the property offers views over a green strip and currently serves as a work or study area, though it could alternatively accommodate a dining table.
The ground floor also includes a modern bathroom equipped with a rain shower, vanity unit with mirror cabinet, and underfloor heating. There is a separate toilet with a hand basin also featuring underfloor heating. A staircase from the entrance hall descends to the souterrain level. High-quality oak herringbone parquet flooring runs throughout most of the ground floor.
The souterrain level contains three bedrooms, making this an ideal layout for families or those requiring home office space. The spacious master bedroom at the front measures approximately 5.01 by 2.37 meters and includes an open passage to a practical walk-in closet of approximately 3.47 by 1.40 meters. An adjacent utility room of approximately 3.70 by 1.40 meters houses the washing machine connections, central heating boiler, and provides ample storage space. Two additional bedrooms at the rear complete the sleeping accommodation. Bedroom I measures approximately 6.00 by 2.14 meters and bedroom II measures approximately 6.00 by 3.26 meters. The souterrain is finished with tasteful laminate flooring throughout.
The rear garden measures approximately 6.72 by 4.67 meters (approximately 31 square meters) and is positioned on the northwest. The garden receives afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant spot for relaxation and outdoor dining. A large terrace provides seating space and there is a wooden storage shed of approximately 8 square meters, ideal for bicycles and garden equipment.
The building is in good structural condition. The foundation was repaired in 2011 through pile head reduction. The windows are fitted with double glazing in wooden frames. The front elevation including window frames, doors, and cornice was professionally painted in March 2026. Heating and hot water are provided by a HR combination boiler installed in 2011.
The property belongs to an active Association of Owners (VvE) with a monthly contribution of approximately 103 euros. The VvE has been registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has building insurance. The property is sold on freehold basis with no leasehold obligations.
The location offers an excellent combination of green living and urban convenience. The Jericholaan leads directly to the Kralingse Plas, a popular lake for recreation. Public transport options are readily available with tram stop Oudedijk/Jericholaan and Voorschoterlaan metro station both within walking distance. The area is well-connected to major roads with the A13, A16, and A20 motorways easily accessible for commuters.
