Description
This exceptional corner apartment is situated on the second floor of the Imagine new build project in Rotterdam Zuid. It is a high-quality, move-in-ready three-room home that offers breathtaking views over the Nieuwe Maas river. This location successfully balances urban dynamism, excellent accessibility, and a sense of tranquility. Living at a high level by the Maas becomes a reality in this unique spot on Laan op Zuid, within the emerging district of Rotterdams Tij. This new urban area is where living, working, and relaxation converge. The environment is still in development, where city life, water, green spaces, and architecture enhance each other. In the coming years, this area is set to grow into one of the most attractive and vibrant city districts of Rotterdam. The apartment itself offers a comfortable and centrally located living place by the Maas. Rotterdam city center, the Erasmusbrug, and the main arterial roads are all within easy reach.
The building, known as Imagine, provides a prestigious entrance. You reach the apartment via a representative lobby on the ground floor, which gives access to the elevators, the staircase, and a beautifully landscaped inner garden. The entrance to the bicycle storage is near the main entrances of the residential towers. The general bicycle storage is located on the first floor and is accessible via a bicycle lift, adding a layer of convenience and security for residents.
Upon reaching the second floor, the entrance to the apartment is accessed via the communal roof garden. The apartment's own entrance hall provides access to all rooms. From the hall, a separate toilet and a practical storage room with a washing machine connection are accessible. This layout ensures that the main living areas are kept clutter-free and functional. The heart of the home is the spacious living room. It is light and comfortable due to the large windows. The open kitchen is seamlessly connected to the living room and features a modern design with various high-quality built-in appliances. From the living room, you have direct access to the balcony. The combination of space, natural light, and the expansive view creates a pleasant and high-quality living environment. The kitchen's open design makes it perfect for entertaining, allowing for interaction with guests while preparing meals.
The apartment features two bedrooms. Both rooms are suitable as full-fledged bedrooms, home office spaces, or guest rooms and offer a quiet location within the apartment. This versatility makes the home adaptable to different life stages, whether you work from home or need a guest room for visitors. The modern bathroom is finished with high-quality materials and is equipped with a spacious shower and a stylish bathroom vanity. The space is practically laid out and comfortable to use, ensuring a relaxing experience. The presence of floor heating in the bathroom adds to the overall comfort, especially during colder months.
A significant feature of this home is the spacious balcony that looks out over the Nieuwe Maas. This outdoor space allows you to enjoy the fresh air and the dynamic views of the river and the city. The communal inner garden of Imagine is another special element within the project. This green oasis offers peace and space in the middle of the city and serves as a meeting place for residents. Greenery, water, and leisure spots come together here, fostering a sense of community among the people living in the complex.
The property is located on the second floor, which often provides a good balance between being high enough for privacy and views while remaining accessible. It is a corner apartment, which typically benefits from abundant natural light from multiple directions. The apartment boasts a magnificent view over Rotterdam and the Nieuwe Maas, a key feature of the location. The spacious balcony with its panoramic view extends the living space outdoors. It has an energy label A++, indicating high energy efficiency, which is beneficial for both the environment and monthly utility costs. The home is part of the new build Imagine project, ensuring modern construction standards and finishes. The active Homeowners Association (VvE) contributes €137.42 per month. The VvE is well-structured, with registration at the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings, periodic contributions, a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance, all of which contribute to the long-term health and management of the building.
