Description
This well-maintained family home, built in 2019, is situated in the Feijenoord district of Rotterdam. The property offers a comfortable living environment with a focus on space, natural light, and modern amenities. With a living area of approximately 128 square meters and a total volume of 472 cubic meters, this residence provides ample room for family life.
The ground floor features an entrance hall with a meter cupboard, a toilet room, and stairs leading to the upper floors. From the hall, you enter the surprisingly spacious living area. The living room extends across nearly the full length of the property, offering sufficient space for both a generous seating area and a dining table. A large sliding door at the garden side creates a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living, allowing plenty of daylight to enter throughout the day. The interior is finished in calm color tones with wide windows and modern detailing, creating a pleasant base ready for immediate occupancy.
Located at the front of the property is the open kitchen. This kitchen features a modern, light design with ample cabinet space and various built-in appliances, including a Quooker boiling water tap, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator-freezer combination.
The first floor accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish bathroom. The main bedroom is situated at the rear, offering a quiet and atmospheric space with enough room for a double bed and a large wardrobe. The two remaining bedrooms are also pleasantly sized and versatile in use. Currently set up as children's rooms, they would equally serve well as a home office, guest room, or hobby space. The bathroom on this floor is finished to a high standard, featuring a spacious walk-in shower with a rain showerhead, a stylish vanity unit, and attractive tile work. A large window provides natural ventilation and pleasant light, while the quality materials give the space a hotel-like appearance. A second toilet is also located on this floor.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase. Upon entering, the pleasant ceiling height and natural daylight are immediately noticeable. Large skylights ensure pleasant light intake and enhance the feeling of space. Practical storage options have been created under the sloping roof, making optimal use of the available area. This floor also houses the connections for laundry appliances.
The backyard offers an inviting outdoor space with room for a comfortable lounge set and a dining table. The garden is favorably positioned facing southwest, allowing you to enjoy the sun from the afternoon into the evening. At the rear of the garden stands a practical freestanding wooden shed with a green roof, ideal for storing bicycles, garden equipment, and other items.
The property is located in a quiet neighborhood with ambitious development plans, surrounded by water, open space, and greenery. Despite the peaceful setting, the city center and various amenities are within close proximity. Restaurant MAAS, a top-tier restaurant, is located nearby. For those seeking something different, Restaurant de Schuimspaan, known for its sushi, is also within walking distance. By bicycle, you can reach the Wilhelminapier within five minutes, where you will find the Foodhallen and Hotel New York, among other attractions. The Nassauhavenpark, with its beautiful old trees, well-maintained grass areas, playgrounds, and seating areas, is literally around the corner.
For transportation, the city center is reachable by bicycle within ten minutes, and by bus in under seven minutes. If you wish to leave the city, you can take the train from Rotterdam-Zuid station. By car, you can access the highway network in no time.
Technical specifications include energy label A, district heating for both heating and hot water, partial underfloor heating, double glazing throughout (HR++), and mechanical ventilation. The foundation risk indicator is 0, meaning no follow-up investigation is required. The property is located on freehold land, and parking in the area requires a permit or paid parking.

Central Heating
The listing explicitly states 'stadsverwarming' (city/district heating) for both heating and hot water, which is a form of central heating.

Underfloor Heating
The features section explicitly lists 'gedeeltelijke vloerverwarming' (partial underfloor heating).

Energy Efficiency
Solar Panels
Solar panels are not mentioned anywhere in the listing. Given the comprehensive list of features provided, their absence suggests they are not installed.
Double Glazing
The listing explicitly states 'Geheel voorzien van dubbele beglazing (HR++)' and the features section confirms 'Dubbel glas'.
Triple Glazing
The listing specifically mentions double glazing (HR++), not triple glazing. If triple glazing were present, it would likely be highlighted as a premium feature.
Wall Insulation
The features section states 'volledig geïsoleerd' (fully insulated), which typically includes wall insulation. However, it is not explicitly specified which components are insulated.
Roof Insulation
The 'volledig geïsoleerd' claim suggests roof insulation is present. The property has Energy Label A and was built in 2019, which would require roof insulation to meet modern standards. However, not explicitly stated.
Heat Pump
The listing clearly states heating and hot water are provided by 'stadsverwarming' (district heating). No heat pump is mentioned or needed.
Home Battery
No home battery is mentioned. With district heating and no solar panels mentioned, there would be limited use case for a home battery.
Other Energy Efficiency Measures
The property features district heating (stadsverwarming) which is an efficient communal heating system, mechanical ventilation for controlled air exchange, Energy Label A rating, and was built in 2019 to modern energy standards.
