The home has been meticulously maintained and finished to a high standard, with light, space, and quality of life as central themes throughout the design.
The location in Kralingen provides an ideal balance between a green residential environment and convenient access to major highways including the A13 and A20, as well as Rotterdam's city center. The neighborhood is excellently served by public transportation, with tram stops on Oudedijk and Voorschoterlaan metro station within easy reach.

The ground floor begins with an entrance hall containing the meter cupboard and a toilet with hand basin, providing access to the living room. The stylish living room has a warm and luxurious appearance, featuring a modern gas fireplace as an elegant focal point between the sitting and dining areas. A separate television corner has been created, resulting in multiple living zones that perfectly accommodate modern family life. Large windows ensure an abundance of natural daylight and strengthen the connection with the green surroundings.
The open kitchen forms the heart of the home and features a generous peninsula island with bar stools and high-quality built-in appliances. These include an induction cooktop with integrated extraction system, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, dishwasher, oven, microwave, refrigerator, and freezer. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with its own entrance and additional storage space, sink, and connections for a washing machine and dryer.
The outdoor space offers a particular sense of freedom. The beautifully landscaped garden surrounds the property and faces southwest, bordering directly on a quiet stretch of water and a green bank area, bringing nature literally to your backyard. Here you can experience the seasons intensely, from fresh spring growth and long summer evenings to colorful autumn hues and, in cold winters, regular skating pleasure on the water behind the house. The open position ensures plenty of privacy, peace, and a permanent holiday feeling. Additionally, the garden features a storage building and two sheds. The property also includes parking for two cars on its own grounds.
The first floor contains five spacious bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms. The generous master bedroom feels like a hotel suite and features an elegant built-in wardrobe wall and an en-suite bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and toilet. Through double French doors, you reach the adjoining study or work room, a particularly bright space with windows across the entire facade and a calming view of the surrounding greenery and water. This is an inspiring place to work, read, or study, where the seasons literally form the backdrop. Three rooms, including the master bedroom and the study, are equipped with air conditioning. The second bathroom is also stylishly finished with a shower, vanity, and toilet.
The property was built in 1990 and is situated on leasehold land until November 29, 2089. The ground rent has been paid in advance until November 29, 2039, with the possibility for the buyer to additionally pay off the ground rent until the end of the lease term for an indicative additional amount of approximately 22,500 euros.
The property has an energy label A, with heating and hot water provided through district heating. It is equipped with 14 solar panels and features double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation, contributing to its excellent energy efficiency. Other amenities include an alarm system, mechanical and natural ventilation, and a TV cable connection.
The property is located on a quiet street in a green residential environment, sheltered by the water and a short distance from the Kralingse Forest and the Kralingse Lake. At the same time, shops, schools, restaurants, sports facilities, and highways are within easy reach. This combination of peace, nature, and urban dynamism makes the location exceptionally attractive for those seeking a high-quality living experience in Rotterdam.
