Nieuwe Westen itself is a dynamic neighborhood that offers an attractive mix of metropolitan allure and traditional local character. It is a true urban district featuring beautiful singels such as the Heemraadsingel and interesting shopping streets like the Nieuwe Binnenweg. This diversity makes living here particularly enjoyable. Families and active individuals will appreciate the proximity to sports clubs, schools, and playgrounds, ensuring all daily needs are met within the immediate vicinity.
Upon entering the building at the ground floor, one finds a spacious hall that provides access to the two residences within the complex. Behind the private front door of this apartment, a practical and generous hall welcomes you, offering ample space for coats and shoes. From here, the journey to the first floor begins.
The first floor serves as the main living area and is designed to impress. The spacious entrance hall includes a guest toilet and provides access to all rooms on this level. Immediately upon entering, the abundance of natural light is striking, flooding the space through large windows. The ceiling height of approximately 2.60 meters enhances the sense of volume and space, creating an open and airy atmosphere throughout the living areas.
The living area is situated at the rear of the property and features a fixed cupboard. This space seamlessly connects to the generous terrace, which faces west and spans about 7.35 meters in width. This outdoor space is perfectly positioned to catch the afternoon and evening sun, offering a serene retreat for relaxation or dining al fresco. The living room opens directly onto this terrace through sliding doors, blending the indoor and outdoor living experience.
At the front of the house, the dining area flows effortlessly into the luxurious open kitchen. The kitchen acts as the true centerpiece of the home, featuring a cooking island and equipped with high-quality built-in appliances. Its stylish design and modern finishes make it a delightful space for culinary enthusiasts and social gatherings alike.
Moving to the second floor, the landing features a skylight that ensures natural light reaches this level as well. This floor hosts four full-sized bedrooms, each with its own distinct character. The master bedroom is exceptionally spacious, easily accommodating a double bed and a large wardrobe wall. The remaining three bedrooms offer versatile possibilities, perfect for use as children's rooms, a guest room, or a home office, catering to various lifestyle needs.
One of the standout features of this apartment is the presence of two stylish bathrooms. The main bathroom is a luxurious sanctuary equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and a toilet, providing a true wellness experience. The second bathroom is equally practical, featuring its own shower, vanity, and an extra toilet. Additionally, this floor includes a separate utility room, ideal for housing a washing machine, dryer, and providing extra storage space.
Storage solutions are plentiful in this home. A spacious attic can be reached via a loft ladder, offering practical extra storage space. Furthermore, there is a private external storage box located at the rear of the complex, accessible via the garden path, which is perfect for storing bicycles or outdoor equipment.
Technically, the property is in excellent condition. It boasts an energy label A, supported by a fully insulated shell and the installation of high-quality plastic window frames with HR++ glass. The entire complex has benefited from a foundation renewal, a significant and valuable upgrade that eliminates future structural concerns. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler (HR combiketel) from 2025, ensuring efficiency and reliability.
The property is situated on its own land, meaning there is no leasehold. The Homeowners Association (VvE) is active, professionally managed, and has a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance. The monthly contribution is approximately 145.58 euros. Parking is managed by the municipality via a permit system at the front of the building. The area is designated as a protected cityscape, preserving the unique character of the neighborhood.
Given the construction year of 1921, the purchase agreement will include an age and factual occupancy clause. The seller has not occupied the property, highlighting the opportunity for new buyers to put their own stamp on the ready-to-move-in home. With a project notary applicable, the transfer process will be handled with precision. In summary, Mathenesserlaan 482 A combines luxury, space, and sustainability in a top location, making it a coveted residence in Rotterdam.
