Key Features
Description
Located in the Karl Marx neighborhood of Rotterdam Lombardijen, this well maintained apartment at Stuart Millpad 77 offers approximately 90 square meters of living space. The property features three bedrooms, a spacious living room with adjacent dining area, a kitchen with built-in appliances, and two balconies. Situated on the third floor of a portiekflat (apartment building with communal entrance), the home provides a comfortable and practical layout suitable for various living situations.
The apartment is accessed through a neat communal entrance on the ground floor, which features mailboxes, an intercom system, and access to the residential units and basement storage areas. Upon entering the apartment on the third floor, you are welcomed by a spacious hallway. This hallway features a laminate floor, smooth walls and ceiling, two built-in storage closets, and provides access to virtually all rooms in the home.
The kitchen is located at the rear of the apartment and is equipped with a tile floor and a modern fitted kitchen. The kitchen includes several built-in appliances: an induction cooktop, oven, microwave, fridge-freezer combination, dishwasher, and extractor hood. A door from the kitchen leads directly to the first balcony, which faces north.
The separate toilet room features a duo-block toilet arrangement, a small sink, and partial light tiling. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub with shower setup and shower screen, a washbasin, and neat tiling throughout.
The generous living room is situated at the front of the apartment. Adjacent to the living room is the dining area, which has previously been used as a fourth bedroom. Both spaces feature neat finishing of floors, walls, and ceilings. The living area benefits from large windows that allow plenty of natural daylight, creating a pleasant and open atmosphere. Access to the second balcony is available from the living area. This balcony faces south, providing an excellent spot to enjoy sunlight throughout the day.
The three bedrooms are all located at the rear of the apartment. Each bedroom features carpet flooring and smooth wall and ceiling finishes. These rooms can serve various purposes such as sleeping quarters, a home office, or a hobby room, depending on the needs of the future residents.
In the basement of the building, there is a separate storage unit available for extra storage space. This storage box is approximately 8 square meters and is equipped with electricity. This additional space is convenient for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or other belongings.
The apartment features double glazing in plastic window frames, contributing to better insulation. The energy label is classified as E, valid until January 26, 2029. Heating is provided through a block heating system, and hot water is supplied via a rented electric boiler of 80 liters from Eneco. Given the construction year of 1966, an age clause will be included in the purchase agreement.
The property is situated on private land (eigen grond), meaning there is no ground lease. The monthly contribution to the Owners Association (Vereniging van Eigenaren, VvE) amounts to €250.97 for the dwelling and €1.72 for the storage unit. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance in place.
The location of this apartment is particularly favorable. Shops on the Spinozaweg are within walking distance, while the Zuidplein shopping center, NS station Lombardijen, and the town of Barendrecht are easily accessible by bicycle. By car, the Rotterdam ring road can be reached within a few minutes. The neighborhood is described as quiet and child-friendly, with public transport options nearby.
Parking in the area is regulated through paid parking and parking permits. The property is located on a quiet road with a sheltered position within a residential area.
The total content of the apartment is approximately 294 cubic meters. The building-bound outdoor space (the two balconies combined) measures approximately 6 square meters. The external storage space in the basement adds another 8 square meters to the property.
The asking price for this property is €299,500 in the 'kosten koper' (buyer pays costs) arrangement, which translates to approximately €3,328 per square meter of living space. The property is currently available for viewing, and the delivery date can be arranged in mutual consultation between the buyer and seller.
The Lombardijen district does not fall under the purchase protection scheme ('opkoopbescherming') of the municipality of Rotterdam. This means that investors and owner-occupiers alike can purchase this property without restrictions typically imposed in protected areas to prevent speculative purchases.
The current owner describes the apartment as having a warm and welcoming atmosphere. According to the seller's personal note, the apartment felt right from the first moment. The sun shines beautifully into the living room, and all daily necessities are within close proximity. The neighborhood is quiet and child-friendly, making it an appealing location for families, couples, or individuals looking for a comfortable home in the southern part of Rotterdam.
