Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment has been modernized throughout, featuring a luxurious renovated bathroom, a separate modern toilet, and a kitchen equipped with various high-quality built-in appliances.
- Residents can enjoy a private south-facing balcony accessible from the rear bedroom, offering a sunny outdoor space for relaxation.

Downsides
- The monthly VvE contribution is 177.56 euros, which is relatively high for a 66 square meter apartment in this segment.
- The apartment is located on the second floor of a 1945-1959 portico flat, which typically implies there is no elevator, requiring the use of stairs.

- The building period (1945-1959) suggests that while the interior is updated, the structural elements and common areas of the building are older.
Description
If you are currently searching for a modern and fully finished apartment situated in a central location within Rotterdam-Zuid, this surprisingly spacious three-room residence located on the second floor is definitely worth a viewing. The property is presented in a move-in ready condition, featuring a cozy living room, two comfortable bedrooms, a modern kitchen, and a luxurious renovated bathroom. From the living room, you can access the bedroom located at the rear, which in turn provides access to the sunny indoor balcony situated on the south side of the building. Thanks to the practical layout, all other rooms are easily accessible from the hallway.
The attractive built-in kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a gas cooktop, a hot air oven, a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher, and an extractor hood. The bathroom and the separate toilet have also been completely renewed and finished with modern tiling, a stylish walk-in shower, and a wall-hung closet. Additionally, the property is fitted with plastic window frames with double glazing and is heated by its own Intergas HRE combi boiler from 2019. In the basement, there is a convenient private storage room for extra storage space.
Living in the vibrant Heart of South offers a unique lifestyle. The property is located in an excellent spot, very close to the Zuidplein shopping center and all the amenities that the Hart van Zuid has to offer. This popular district is currently undergoing significant development, including the construction of a new fifty-meter swimming pool, the expansion of Ahoy, and the arrival of a new art building opposite the complex. These developments contribute to a dynamic and future-proof living environment.
The accessibility of the location is excellent. Tram, bus, and metro connections are within walking distance and will take you quickly to the city center and other parts of Rotterdam. For relaxation and recreation, the beautiful Zuiderpark is just a ten-minute walk away. This park provides a green oasis within the city where residents can enjoy walking, cycling, or various sports facilities.
Entering the building on the ground floor, you find a closed porch with mailboxes and a staircase leading to the second floor. Upon entering the apartment on the second floor, you arrive in the hall which features a laminate floor and a practical fixed closet. From the hall, all rooms are accessible. The modern toilet room is fully tiled and fitted with a wall-hung closet and a lowered ceiling with built-in spotlights. The cozy living room at the front has a laminate floor and neatly plastered walls and ceilings. Adjacent to the living room is the bedroom at the rear, also finished with a laminate floor and neat wall and ceiling finishes. From this room, there is access to the sunny indoor balcony located on the south. The kitchen is executed with a beautiful modern built-in kitchen and equipped with various appliances, including a gas cooktop, hot air oven, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and extractor fan. The kitchen also features a washing machine connection and a lowered ceiling with spotlights.
The second bedroom is situated at the front of the property and is also neatly finished with a laminate floor and plastered walls and ceilings. The modern bathroom is fully tiled and equipped with a spacious walk-in shower, a sink cabinet, a designer radiator, and a lowered ceiling with built-in spotlights. In the basement, the property has a practical private storage room. This storage space is ideal for storing bicycles, suitcases, or seasonal items, keeping the main living space clutter-free.
The property features an Energy Label C, which indicates a reasonable level of energy efficiency for a building of this age. The monthly Homeowners Association (VvE) contribution is 177.56 euros. The building is a portico flat (Portiekflat) constructed between 1945 and 1959, representing the architecture of that era while the interior has been updated to modern standards. The total living area is 66 square meters, providing ample space for a small family, a couple, or a working professional. The external storage space adds an extra 8 square meters of functional area.
Technical specifications of the property include double glazing throughout, which contributes to insulation and noise reduction. The heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from 2019, which is owned by the property. This ensures that the heating system is relatively young and should provide reliable service for years to come. The presence of plastic window frames also means low maintenance requirements regarding painting and upkeep compared to older wooden frames.
The active Homeowners Association ensures that the common areas are maintained properly. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a periodic contribution, and possesses a reserve fund. There is also a maintenance plan in place, and building insurance is arranged. This professional management of the VvE contributes to a worry-free living experience.
Parking is available on public roads in the area. This is common in Rotterdam-Zuid and usually involves a parking permit system. The delivery date of the property is in consultation, allowing for flexibility for both the buyer and the seller. This apartment represents a solid opportunity for those looking to live in a developing part of Rotterdam with modern comforts and good connections to the rest of the city.
