Spacious Double Upper Apartment with 3 Bedrooms and Renovation Potential

Located on the Schieweg in the Bergpolder district of Rotterdam, this property presents itself as a surprisingly spacious double upper apartment spanning approximately 102 square meters across two residential floors. The apartment is situated on the second and third floors of a building originally constructed around 1934, offering a characteristic living space that can be customized according to personal preferences. The entrance to the property is reached through a shared porch on the second floor. Upon entering, the hallway serves as the central connecting space to all rooms on this level. At the front of the apartment, a spacious living room features large windows that allow for abundant natural light to enter the space. This room offers ample possibilities for arranging a comfortable seating area and dining section. The kitchen, also positioned at the front of the building, is laid out in a corner configuration. While the kitchen is functional in its current state, it provides a solid foundation for renovation according to personal taste and modern standards. From the hallway, access is provided to a separate toilet and various practical storage spaces. Additionally, this floor contains a sizeable bedroom at the rear of the property, as well as another room that is well suited for use as a home office, hobby room, or guest bedroom. An internal staircase leads to the third floor, where a spacious landing provides access to two bedrooms of good dimensions. These bedrooms are interconnected, with the through connection creating sufficient space for a large bed and wardrobe. The positioning at the rear of the building contributes to a quieter living environment in these rooms. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a bathtub, a washbasin, and connections for laundry appliances. The practical layout and available space on this floor similarly form an excellent basis for complete modernization according to personal wishes. A notable feature of the third floor is the access to the roof, which presents possibilities for the creation of a roof terrace. This would provide valuable outdoor living space in an urban setting. In the basement of the building, a communal storage space is available for the residents. The location on the Schieweg is described as central within Rotterdam, with all amenities within easy reach. The immediate vicinity offers various shops, supermarkets, and dining establishments. Public transportation is well organized, and the city center can be reached quickly. The roads leading to surrounding cities are also easily accessible, making the location particularly attractive for those who commute or travel regularly. Regarding the technical aspects of the property, several important details are worth mentioning. The foundation has been assessed with a positive foundation report, classified as low risk under Phase 0. This provides reassurance regarding one of the most significant concerns with older buildings in the Netherlands. The apartment features plastic window frames with high efficiency double glazing, contributing to the current Energy Label C rating. Heating and hot water are provided by a central heating boiler, specifically a Nefit HR combination boiler from 2019, which is owned rather than rented. The property is located on its own ground, which means there is no ground lease to consider. The active Homeowners Association counts 32 members and has a multi year maintenance plan in place. The monthly contribution to the association is 138 euros. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, and has building insurance in place. The asking price is 369,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the associated transaction costs. This translates to approximately 3,765 euros per square meter based on the stated living area of 98 square meters. The discrepancy between the 98 square meters in the features section and the approximately 102 square meters mentioned in the description text should be noted, with the official measurement being based on the NEN2580 standard. The property includes a non resident occupancy clause and an age clause in the purchase agreement, which is standard practice for older properties. Delivery can take place on very short notice by mutual agreement. Parking in the area is regulated, with options for paid parking, public parking, and parking permits available. The building is situated in a protected urban or village view, which may impose certain restrictions on exterior modifications but also contributes to the preserved character of the neighborhood. For prospective buyers, particularly first time buyers looking to create their dream home, this property offers a solid structural foundation with the freedom to modernize and finish the interior according to their own preferences and timeline. The combination of space, location, and renovation potential makes this an interesting opportunity in the Rotterdam housing market.
