Key Features
Description
Located along the broad and prestigious Provenierssingel in the heart of Rotterdam, this remarkable townhouse dates back to 1901 and represents an exceptional opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a residence with historical character combined with modern comfort. The street itself has been known since its creation in the late nineteenth century for its stately buildings in neo-renaissance style and its peaceful, green atmosphere despite being centrally positioned.
The property offers approximately 268 square meters of official living space distributed across five full residential floors, with an additional basement level of approximately 56 square meters that provides versatile extra space. The total stated living area including this basement is 324 square meters. The building features the characteristic elements one would expect from a residence of this period, including high ceilings reaching up to approximately 3.19 meters on the ground and first floors, original architectural details, and abundant natural light throughout.
The basement, with a ceiling height of approximately 1.95 meters, is designed as a fully functional lower level that can serve multiple purposes. This space could function as a private lounge, home gym, guest quarters, or studio. The basement includes a secondary kitchen with direct access to the garden, an impressive wine cellar, a guest restroom, and direct garden access. While this level provides valuable additional space, it does not officially qualify as living area under applicable measurement standards due to the ceiling height being just below the two meter threshold.
The ground floor features a representative entrance with a hall, wardrobe, and guest toilet. The main living area consists of generous living and dining rooms arranged in an en-suite configuration with classic proportions and refined natural light. The ceiling height of approximately 3.19 meters creates a remarkable sense of space and grandeur befitting a property of this caliber. At the rear of the ground floor, a contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with high-end built-in appliances, providing modern functionality within this historical setting.
The first floor comprises an elegant landing, two spacious bedrooms with excellent natural light, a stylish bathroom with bathtub and double vanity, and a separate restroom. Both bedrooms offer pleasant dimensions suitable for various furnishing arrangements.
The second floor houses the master suite, featuring a generous rear-facing bedroom, a walk-in closet or dressing room, and an additional large bedroom at the front of the property. A luxurious bathroom with bathtub and double vanity serves this floor, along with a landing with a separate restroom.
The third floor provides a bedroom with direct access to a private rooftop terrace. This rooftop terrace represents a rare and intimate outdoor retreat offering complete privacy, a distinctive feature in an urban setting. The landing on this floor provides access to technical and storage spaces.
The property includes a rear garden measuring 28 square meters with dimensions of five meters in depth and 5.66 meters in width. Combined with the rooftop terrace, residents have access to both ground-level and elevated outdoor spaces, which is uncommon for townhouses in central locations.
Built in 1901, the property showcases neo-renaissance architecture typical of the period, with a mansarde roof contributing to its distinctive appearance. The building holds an energy label B, indicating reasonable energy efficiency for a property of this age. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired central heating boiler, and the property features mechanical and natural ventilation systems. An alarm installation is present for security.
The property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to consider. Parking is available through permit system in the area.
The location on Provenierssingel places the residence in a position that combines the tranquility of a tree-lined avenue with proximity to the vibrant city center of Rotterdam. The area is characterized by its proximity to a park, its position along quiet roadways, its waterfront aspects, and its central urban location. The property forms part of the internationally recognized Randstad region, with Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht seamlessly connected and Amsterdam reachable in approximately twenty-five minutes.
The listing indicates three bedrooms and two bathrooms across seven total rooms. The property is classified as a townhouse (herenhuis) in an existing building (bestaande bouw). The total building volume is 1,121 cubic meters, and the plot area measures 103 square meters.
This townhouse presents a rare combination of historical architecture, spacious layout across multiple floors, modern amenities, and a prestigious central location. The thoughtful updates that have been made over time have brought the comfort level to contemporary standards while preserving the authentic character and architectural details that define properties of this era and style.
