Renovated Four-Room Apartment with Spacious Layout in Popular Rotterdam Neighborhood
Key Features
Upsides
- The apartment was fully renovated and modernized in 2021 and 2022, resulting in a move-in ready property with contemporary finishes throughout all living spaces.
- With 123 square meters of living area and three full bedrooms, the property offers generous space that accommodates various living arrangements and flexible use of rooms.
- The location in the Bergpolder neighborhood provides excellent connectivity with a tram stop practically at the doorstep and Blijdorp metro station nearby, along with diverse amenities including shops, restaurants, and the Vroesenpark within walking distance.
- The recent 2023 Nefit HR central heating boiler is owned by the current owner and included in the sale, and the energy label B rating indicates reasonable energy efficiency for a 1934 building.
Downsides
- All three bedrooms are located in the basement level at a ceiling height of 2.37 meters, which may feel less spacious than ground-level bedrooms and could be a consideration for those with mobility concerns or preference for above-ground sleeping areas.
- The property does not include any private outdoor space such as a balcony, terrace, or garden, which limits options for outdoor relaxation at home.
- Parking requires a permit system with paid public parking, adding ongoing costs and potential inconvenience for residents with vehicles.
- The monthly VvE contribution of 203.47 euros is relatively substantial and should be factored into overall housing costs.
Description
This four-room apartment is situated in the Bergpolder neighborhood of Rotterdam and presents a fully renovated living space completed in 2021 and 2022. The property spans approximately 123 square meters and is distributed across two levels, comprising the ground floor and a basement level. The building dates back to 1934 but has been updated with contemporary finishes and modern amenities throughout.
The ground floor level serves as the primary living area. Upon entering, residents are welcomed into a spacious living kitchen that has been designed with functionality and sociability in mind. The kitchen features an L-shaped configuration equipped with various built-in appliances, providing ample workspace for meal preparation. The generous proportions of this room allow for the placement of a large dining table, making it suitable for everyday use as well as entertaining guests. Large windows contribute to a bright atmosphere, while the light color scheme enhances the sense of space.
An intermediate hall connects the kitchen area to the living room and includes practical wardrobe space and a modern toilet. The living room occupies a slightly elevated position, accessible via a few steps from the kitchen area. This room is characterized by its large window sections that maximize natural light penetration. The open layout and calm finish create a comfortable environment for relaxation.
The basement level functions as a complete residential floor with a ceiling height of approximately 2.37 meters. Despite being below ground, this level incorporates natural daylight in all rooms, which helps maintain a spacious and pleasant atmosphere. The central landing provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, each benefiting from natural ventilation and daylight. These rooms offer flexibility in their use, serving equally well as bedrooms, home offices, hobby rooms, or guest accommodations.
The bathroom on this level has been finished to a modern standard and includes a shower and a double vanity unit. The clean lines and contemporary styling are consistent with the high-quality finishes found throughout the property. Additional storage spaces are available on this floor, including a cupboard housing the central heating installation.
The property holds an energy label B rating, supported by double glazing and HR-glass windows. Heating and hot water are provided by a Nefit HR gas-fired central heating boiler installed in 2023, which is included in the purchase.
The Bergpolder neighborhood is a well-regarded residential area in Rotterdam, located at a convenient distance from the city center. The immediate surroundings offer a variety of amenities including supermarkets, local shops, and specialty stores. The area also provides numerous dining options with restaurants, cafes, and coffee bars within walking distance. For outdoor recreation, the Vroesenpark is nearby, and the characteristic Hofbogen area combines cultural activities, hospitality venues, and urban life in a distinctive setting.
Public transportation options are excellent. A tram stop is located at Schieweg practically at the doorstep, and Blijdorp metro station is within short walking distance. The proximity to major roads also ensures that surrounding cities and destinations are easily accessible by car.
The property is part of an active homeowners association with a monthly contribution of 203.47 euros. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance.
Parking in the area is managed through a permit system with paid public parking available. The apartment is delivered in its current condition with the exact handover date to be agreed upon between buyer and seller.
