Luxurious Monumental Apartment in Transformed Hospital Complex

This apartment is situated within the former Zuiderziekenhuis in the Vreewijk district of Rotterdam, a building that has been thoughtfully transformed into a contemporary residential complex known as the Zuider Carré. The conversion project has resulted in 72 apartments and 30 pavilion homes, with this particular unit offering a generous living space of approximately 118 square meters spread across a single floor level.

The entrance to the complex is through a dignified main entrance on the ground floor, leading to a spacious hall featuring two lift installations. These lifts provide access to the various galleries that overlook the inner garden and connect to the individual apartments. Upon entering the apartment, the high ceilings of approximately 3.5 meters immediately draw attention. This vertical space, combined with the numerous large windows on two sides of the residence, creates a sense of openness and allows abundant natural light to fill the interior throughout the day.

The central living area comprises a generous living room with an open kitchen design. From this space, residents have direct access to two separate balconies. One balcony faces the street side and offers views of Zuiderpark and Valkeniersweide, while the other spans nearly the full width of the apartment and overlooks the inner courtyard with a view of the dome of the former chapel. The street side balcony measures approximately 10 square meters and is positioned to the southwest, featuring electrical outlets integrated into the exterior wall. The courtyard facing balcony measures approximately 8 square meters.

The kitchen has been designed to integrate seamlessly with the living space through a cleverly positioned side element that functions as a display and storage cabinet. This continuous design element creates a natural transition between the cooking area and the living room, promoting a cohesive and harmonious living experience. The kitchen itself features a matte lava colored finish with a composite worktop that has a marble like appearance. The backsplash continues this aesthetic. A coffee niche has been incorporated into the design.

The kitchen is equipped with high quality built in appliances from Siemens, including a multifunctional oven with grill function and a separate combi microwave oven, both from the Studioline series. Additional appliances include a Siemens dishwasher, a separate refrigerator and freezer, and a BORA Pure induction cooktop with an integrated recirculation extraction system. The kitchen also features an AQUAHOT+ Gun Metal three in one faucet connected to a 5 liter boiler.

The apartment contains three spacious bedrooms, all featuring large windows and the characteristic high ceilings found throughout the residence. One of the bedrooms, located on the inner courtyard side, has direct access to the courtyard balcony. This configuration provides flexibility for various living arrangements, whether for a family, a couple requiring a home office, or other lifestyle needs.

The bathroom is finished with light tiles that have a marble like appearance and includes a walk in shower with a glass partition and rain showerhead, a sink, a wall mounted toilet, and a radiator. A separate toilet room is located near the entrance, also featuring wall tiling and a small sink. Additionally, there is an internal utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer.

The living room, kitchen, hallway, and the bedroom adjacent to the living room are equipped with floor heating. The final floor covering and wall finishes have been left to the discretion of the buyer, providing complete freedom to personalize the apartment according to individual taste and style preferences. The listing includes impression photos to illustrate how the space could be finished.

The building dates from 1941 and holds monumental status, with the authentic and valuable elements having been preserved during the transformation. These include the tall windows that fill the apartment with natural light. The windows throughout the property are aluminum framed with double glazing. Heating and hot water are provided through district heating (stadsverwarming).

The property includes an external storage unit of approximately 6 square meters located in the basement of the complex. The apartment is situated on the second living level, accessible by lift. The total volume of the apartment is approximately 492 cubic meters.

Vreewijk is known as a garden village, offering a green and tranquil environment within the dynamic city of Rotterdam. The complex is centrally located within this district, with convenient access to major highways including the A15, A29, and A16. Public transportation options including buses and trams are available nearby. Various entertainment venues can be found in the surrounding area.

The heart of Rotterdam South, including the Zuidplein shopping center with its metro and bus station, Ahoy event venue, swimming pool, the new arts building, Valkeniersweide, and Zuiderpark, are all within close proximity. The center of Rotterdam can be reached within approximately 10 minutes.

The property is offered at a price of 595,000 euros, buyer costs applicable. The monthly VvE contribution is 279.84 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a maintenance plan in place, maintains a reserve fund, and has building insurance. The Vreewijk district is not subject to purchase protection regulations.

Given the historical nature of the building, the purchase agreement will include an age clause and a provision related to the fact that the seller has not personally occupied the property. The energy label is rated A and is valid until May 7, 2035. The property is freehold, meaning it sits on owned land rather than leasehold. Delivery can take place promptly by mutual agreement.
