Spacious townhouse with large rooftop terrace in Rotterdam Liskwartier

This spacious townhouse is located on Rodenrijsestraat in the popular Liskwartier neighborhood of Rotterdam. The property was originally built in 1921 and underwent a significant renovation in 2015, when the ground floor was reconfigured and modernized. The renovation combined a former shop space on the ground floor with the upper two floors to create one cohesive living space spanning approximately 177 square meters across three residential levels.

The Liskwartier is a well regarded residential area in Rotterdam North, characterized by tree lined streets, canals known as singels, and architecturally distinctive period buildings. The neighborhood offers convenient access to daily amenities including shops along Zwart Janstraat, Eudokiaplein, and the Kleiwegkwartier area. Residents can enjoy various cafes and restaurants in the vicinity, and there is a weekly market at Noordplein on Saturdays. The Zwaanhals shopping area with its boutiques and eateries is also nearby. Rotterdam city center can be reached by bicycle in approximately ten minutes.

The property benefits from excellent public transport connections. NS Station Noord and Rotterdam Centraal are both within cycling distance, with Centraal reachable in about seven minutes by bike. Metro station Blijdorp provides connections via RandstadRail to cities including The Hague, Utrecht, and Amsterdam. For motorists, the A13 and A20 motorways are easily accessible.

The ground floor features an entrance hall with steel glass doors and space for coats. The living kitchen has notably high ceilings and a light grey epoxy polyurethane poured floor with underfloor heating. Three large window openings near the open void bring natural light into this space. The modern kitchen includes a cooking island with a bar seating area, a concrete look countertop, an induction hob with extractor hood, a dishwasher, space for a freestanding refrigerator, and a Boretti pizza oven.

At the rear of the ground floor there is a hallway with a toilet and a separate utility room containing the washing machine connection and the central heating boiler. A room at the back of this floor has a skylight and could serve as a bedroom, home office, or hobby room. This room has access to a bathroom fitted with a walk in shower and washbasin, making it suitable for use as guest accommodation or for care purposes.

The first floor is reached via an open oak staircase. This level features an open void with three large windows that contribute significantly to the light flow through the property. The living room is situated at the front and includes a characteristic bay window. This floor also has a hallway, storage space, and a second toilet.

The second floor accommodates two bedrooms. The front bedroom has a built in wardrobe. The main bathroom on this level is located in the central section and is equipped with a bathtub, shower, double washbasin, heated towel rail, and a skylight. The rear bedroom includes a storage closet with potential space for a refrigerator for rooftop terrace use. The listing notes that this rear bedroom could be divided to create an additional fourth bedroom. A third toilet is located in the hallway on this floor.

The rooftop terrace covers approximately 45 square meters and is accessed via a permanent staircase. This outdoor space can accommodate multiple seating areas and a large dining table. The terrace includes storage space for furniture, a sink with water connection, and electrical outlets. The terrace offers privacy and receives sunlight for most of the day.

The property has an energy label A rating, which reflects the insulation and efficiency improvements made during the 2015 renovation. The windows are largely double glazed, with a mix of wooden and plastic frames. The three void windows at the rear were painted in late 2025. Heating and hot water are provided by an Intergas combi boiler installed in 2016.

The building has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total plot area is 93 square meters, and the property is on owned land rather than leasehold. The building volume is approximately 641 cubic meters. There is an internal storage room suitable for bicycle parking at street level, and a cellar containing the meter cupboard, gas and water meters, with additional storage potential.

Parking in the area is through a permit system with paid public parking options available. The property is located in a residential area considered suitable for families, with parks, schools, and amenities within reach.

The property is offered at 775,000 euros costs to the buyer. The notary can be chosen by the purchaser. A written purchase agreement is required from both parties. The seller reserves the right to select between multiple interested parties. Given the 1921 construction year, age and asbestos clauses apply. Transfer can take place promptly by mutual agreement.

This townhouse presents a combination of original character elements and modern amenities. The unusual layout resulting from the merger of the former commercial ground floor with the residential upper floors creates a distinctive living arrangement. The high ceilings on the ground floor, the open void connecting the levels, and the extensive rooftop terrace are notable features of this property.
