Turn-key family home with 10 solar panels and sunny west-facing garden in Pernis
Key Features
Upsides
- Excellent energy performance with label B, 10 solar panels from 2022, and comprehensive insulation throughout the building envelope
- Turn-key condition throughout, with modern kitchen appliances replaced in 2026, a neat bathroom, and quality finishes such as steel-look doors and underfloor heating on the ground floor
- Deep west-facing back garden of approximately 93 m² offering generous outdoor space with excellent afternoon and evening sun
- Quiet village location in Pernis with local shops and amenities within walking distance, plus a nearby metro station providing a direct connection to central Rotterdam
- Foundation concerns have been investigated and resolved
- a phase 0 foundation study was conducted in 2026 with no risks identified
Downsides
- The property dates from 1934, which typically entails higher maintenance requirements and potential hidden defects compared with more recently built homes
- Only one bathroom for a four-room, three-bedroom house, which may be insufficient for a larger family or when hosting guests
- The central heating system is a 2013 Remeha combi-ketel, meaning it is twelve years old and may require replacement within the coming years
- The plot size of 115 m² is relatively compact, which may limit possibilities for garden expansion or further landscaping
- The property is classified as an end-of-chain situation with only four houses in the row, which could mean shared maintenance responsibilities and limited street parking
Description
This turn-key terraced house is situated on the Overhandstraat in Pernis, a quiet and charming village that forms part of the municipality of Rotterdam. Built in 1934, the property offers approximately 95 square metres of living space across three floors, together with a useful cellar and an external wooden storage shed. The house comes with an energy label B, is fitted with 10 solar panels from 2022, and benefits from insulation in the roof, cavity walls, and floor crawl space.
Upon entering the property, you arrive in a neat entrance hall that provides access to the staircase leading to the first floor, the meter cupboard, a built-in coat wardrobe, the separate toilet, and a door to the cellar. From the hall you step into the bright living room, which spans the full depth of the house thanks to its through-living room layout. Large windows at both the front and rear ensure the room is filled with natural light throughout the day. The living room features underfloor heating and is finished with a stylish steel-look door that adds a contemporary accent to the space.
The open kitchen is located at the rear of the house and has a modern and light appearance. It is equipped with a range of built-in appliances, and both the dishwasher and the steam oven were replaced as recently as 2026. From the kitchen you have access to the bathroom, which is neatly finished and features a bath, a vanity unit, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. Mechanical ventilation is installed in the bathroom and the separate toilet. From the kitchen you also have direct access to the deep back garden, which faces west and measures approximately 93 square metres. The garden is 16 metres deep and 5.80 metres wide, providing ample space for a lounge area or outdoor dining table. A practical wooden storage shed is located in the garden, and an electric awning is fitted to the rear facade of the house.
The first floor comprises a spacious landing that provides access to three bedrooms. The landing is generous enough that it could accommodate a home workspace. All three bedrooms are neatly finished and receive plenty of daylight. The two bedrooms at the rear overlook the garden, while the larger bedroom at the front benefits from a dormer window that adds both space and light. A large built-in storage cupboard is located on the landing.
A folding loft ladder leads from the landing to the second floor, where you find a practical and spacious storage attic. This space is ideal for storing seasonal items and other belongings that are not needed on a daily basis.
Below the ground floor, the property contains a cellar that provides useful additional storage space, suitable for provisions or general storage.
The house has been well maintained over the years. The roof tiles and battens were replaced in 2021, and the pointing on the facade was repaired and treated with protective impregnation. All wooden window frames are fitted with double glazing, with HR++ glazing on the ground floor. Insect screens are installed on all bedroom windows. A Remeha HR-combination boiler from 2013 provides heating and hot water, and it is owned rather than rented. The property has only one key required for all locks throughout the house.
A phase 0 foundation investigation was carried out in 2026, and no foundation risks were identified. The property is connected to the municipal drainage system and has open parking available on the public road.
The house sits on a plot of 115 square metres. The front garden is neatly maintained, providing an attractive approach to the property. The back garden is located on the west, meaning it receives afternoon and evening sun, which makes it an ideal space for outdoor relaxation and dining during the warmer months.
The location of the property on the Overhandstraat in Pernis offers a pleasant combination of village atmosphere and urban accessibility. Pernis has its own shops, supermarkets, primary schools, a childcare centre, and sports clubs, all within walking distance of the property. Pernis metro station is also nearby, providing a quick connection to the centre of Rotterdam. The motorways A4 and A15 are easily accessible by car, making the location convenient for commuters. The area is characterised by quiet residential streets with mainly local traffic. Walking along the Nieuwe Maas river provides a pleasant recreational option in the immediate surroundings.
The asking price for this property is €420,000, which corresponds to approximately €4,421 per square metre of living space. The property is available by mutual agreement with regard to the transfer date.

Interior Style
Scandinavian
The listing describes a modern, clean finish with light colors and contemporary steel-look doors. However, this is a traditional Dutch terraced house from 1934 with classic architecture. The modern renovations align partially with Scandinavian aesthetics but the overall property style is distinctly Dutch.
Modern
The property is described as 'instapklare woning met een nette en moderne afwerking'. Key modern features include: renovated kitchen appliances in 2026, modern steel-look door, contemporary bathroom, 10 solar panels (2022), underfloor heating, and HR++ glazing. The property has been well-maintained and updated.
Industrial
The listing explicitly mentions a 'stijlvolle staallook deur' (stylish steel-look door) which adds industrial design element. Combined with the modern renovation aesthetic, there is a moderate industrial feel.
Mediterranean
This is a traditional Dutch terraced house in Pernis. No Mediterranean design elements are present. The west-facing garden and Dutch village setting do not suggest Mediterranean styling.
Classic
Built in 1934, this is a classic Dutch terraced house ('tussenwoning') with original architecture. However, extensive renovations have modernized the property. The property retains its classic street-facing appearance and structural layout.
Exterior Style
Traditional Historic
The property was built in 1934 and features original elements like wooden frames, but it has been modernized with new kitchen appliances and is described as 'instapklaar' (ready to move in). It is not presented as a traditional or historic monument.
Early 20th Century
The property was built in 1934, clearly falling within the early 20th century period. In Dutch real estate terminology, this would be similar to a 'jaren-30 woning' (1930s house).
Post War Functional
1934 is before WWII, so this is not a post-war building. Post-war construction in the Netherlands typically refers to the 1945-1970 period.
Modernist
The listing mentions modern finishes and appliances (moderne afwerking), but this refers to interior updates, not architectural modernist style. The property appears to have a traditional layout and structure.
Newly Build
The property was built in 1934, making it approximately 90 years old. It is clearly not newly constructed.

In the Netherlands, VvE (owners association) is typically mandatory for apartment buildings (appartementen), not for single-family homes. No VvE is mentioned in the listing, and the property is taxed under Kadastraal perceel PERNIS B 2987, suggesting individual ownership. However, I cannot be 100% certain without seeing the deed.
