Luxurious Fully Renovated Double Upper Floor Apartment with Sunny Roof Terrace in Rotterdam Bloemhof
Key Features
Description
This beautifully renovated double upper floor apartment is situated in the vibrant Bloemhof district of Rotterdam. Fully modernized in 2024, this property combines contemporary comfort with practical living across two spacious levels. With a generous living area of approximately 108 square meters and featuring three bedrooms, this home offers ample space for comfortable living.
The renovation was comprehensive, encompassing both internal and external improvements. The roof covering has been completely replaced, and the property was reconfigured by combining two separate dwellings into one unified home. As part of this transformation, all floors, walls, and ceilings have been renewed. The kitchen and bathroom fixtures are entirely new, and all installations and plumbing have been replaced. The windows have been fitted with double glazing set in modern plastic frames, contributing to the excellent energy efficiency of the property. The energy label stands at A, valid until September 2034, which indicates outstanding insulation and energy performance.
Entering the property from the street level, a staircase leads up to the first residential floor. Here you find a hallway with PVC flooring providing access to the main living areas and a separate toilet room. The toilet room features a wall-mounted toilet and partially modern tiling.
The spacious living room is located at the rear of the building and features PVC flooring, sleek finished walls and ceiling, and abundant natural light. The open plan kitchen seamlessly connects to the living space, creating a fluid and social environment. The luxury fitted kitchen comes fully equipped with modern appliances including an induction cooktop, a recirculation extractor hood, a combination microwave, a refrigerator with freezer compartment, and a dishwasher. The living room also provides direct access to the generous balcony terrace.
Moving to the second floor, you find a landing with PVC flooring that gives access to all three bedrooms, the bathroom, and an additional separate toilet. This level also includes a laundry and boiler room housing the central heating combi boiler and washing machine connections.
The three bedrooms are well proportioned and all feature PVC flooring with smoothly plastered walls and ceilings. Two bedrooms are positioned at the rear of the property while one faces the front. The modern bathroom is designed with a hotel-like aesthetic and includes a walk-in shower, vanity unit, mechanical ventilation, a designer radiator, and full modern tiling throughout.
One of the standout features of this property is the magnificent roof terrace measuring approximately 14 square meters. This outdoor space is tiled and features a steel railing as a boundary. The terrace is freely situated, offering open views and a wonderful place to relax or entertain. Additionally, there is a second balcony of 3 square meters on the second floor.
The total building-bound outdoor space amounts to approximately 17 square meters. The property volume is approximately 366 cubic meters. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired Intergas combi boiler installed in 2024, which is included with the property.
The location of this apartment offers excellent convenience and connectivity. Situated in the heart of Rotterdam Zuid, residents have easy access to Ahoy arena, Zuidplein shopping center, the Kunstenpand arts center, and a municipal swimming pool. Public transport connections are excellent, allowing quick travel to Rotterdam city center and the wider Randstad region. For outdoor recreation and green spaces, the expansive Zuiderpark is within walking distance.
The property sits on its own land, meaning there is no leasehold or ground rent applicable. It is classified as an existing building, originally constructed in 1925, but has undergone substantial renovation to bring it up to modern standards. The property is offered upholstered or gestoffeerd.
The property falls under purchase protection regulations, meaning investors cannot acquire the property for rental purposes, with some exceptions such as renting to a family member. Additionally, due to subsidies received during the merger of the apartments, subdivision or room rental is not permitted for a period of 15 years following the subsidy award.
The Homeowners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren) is not yet active. The property is located on a busy road, yet benefits from a sheltered position within a residential neighborhood. Parking in the area operates through paid parking and permit systems.
The transfer of ownership must be handled through a project notary determined by the seller, specifically Ligthelm and Dekker notarissen. The date of transfer is to be mutually agreed upon. Given the age of the building, an age clause will be included in the purchase agreement, along with a clause relating to the fact that the seller has not occupied the property themselves.
This property represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a move-in ready, energy efficient home in a well connected and dynamic area of Rotterdam. The combination of recent renovation, generous living space, multiple bedrooms, and attractive outdoor areas makes this a compelling proposition for prospective buyers looking to establish their home in Rotterdam Zuid.
