Located on the Westzeedijk in Rotterdam, this modern two-room apartment is situated on the third floor of a stately building in the Scheepvaartkwartier neighborhood. The property combines historical character with contemporary living comfort, having been originally built around 1890 and completely transformed in 2023. The asking price is 319,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer.

The Scheepvaartkwartier is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Rotterdam, known for its historic architecture and vibrant urban atmosphere. The apartment is positioned in the heart of this area, with the historic core featuring trendy restaurants, cozy entertainment venues, and Het Park all within walking distance. The bustling city center is just around the corner, providing access to amenities such as the Witte de Withstraat, Rotterdam Central Station, the Museumpark, the Koopgoot shopping area, and the Lijnbaan. For those who work or study at Erasmus MC or one of the higher education institutions, this location is particularly convenient. Public transportation is excellent with a tram stop directly in front of the building.

The building itself is located within a protected cityscape, reflecting the architectural heritage of the area. Despite its historical origins dating back to approximately 1890, the property underwent a comprehensive transformation in 2023, bringing it up to modern standards while preserving its characteristic exterior. The roof is a saddle roof covered with tiles, consistent with the traditional building style of the neighborhood.

Access to the apartment is through a well-maintained central stairwell on the ground floor, equipped with a video intercom system for security and convenience. The apartment itself is located on the third floor, occupying a single living level.

Upon entering the apartment, one immediately reaches the spacious and bright living room with an open kitchen. The kitchen is finished in a sleek, modern style and is equipped with various built-in appliances. These include an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, an oven, a refrigerator, a freezer, and a dishwasher. This open layout creates a fluid connection between the cooking and living areas, making the space feel larger than its 50 square meters might suggest.

The bedroom, measuring approximately 15 square meters, is located at the quiet rear side of the building. This positioning away from the street ensures a peaceful environment for rest. The bedroom also provides space for installing a washing machine, offering practical laundry facilities within the living space.

The fully tiled bathroom is equipped with a comfortable walk-in shower, a vanity unit with double drawers, and a toilet. The bathroom finishes are modern and contribute to the overall contemporary feel of the apartment.

Throughout the entire apartment, a stylish herringbone floor has been installed, adding a touch of elegance and visual continuity to the space. Additionally, air conditioning is present which can both cool and heat the rooms, contributing to a comfortable living climate throughout all seasons. The property also features mechanical ventilation, a fiber optic connection, and solar panels.

In terms of energy efficiency, the apartment achieves an energy label A, which is exceptional for a building of this age. This high rating has been achieved through full insulation of the property. Heating is provided through hot air via the air conditioning system, while hot water is supplied by an electric boiler. These systems represent a modern approach to climate control and domestic hot water provision.

The total living area measures approximately 50 square meters, with a volume of approximately 203 cubic meters. The property consists of two rooms in total, one of which is the bedroom. There is one bathroom and one living floor.

The property is held in full ownership and is part of an active Homeowners Association. The monthly VvE contribution is 102.96 euros. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, has a reserve fund, and has building insurance in place. However, there is currently no maintenance plan in place.

Parking in the area is available through paid parking, public parking spaces, and parking permits. As is typical for a central location in a major city, private parking is not included with the property.

The transfer will include an age clause in the deed, acknowledging the building's historical origin from around 1890. Additionally, a clause regarding the possible presence of asbestos will be included, which is standard practice for older buildings. The measurements provided are based on the NEN2580 measurement instruction, which aims to provide a more uniform method of measuring to give an indication of the usable surface area. However, this measurement method does not completely exclude differences in measurement outcomes due to interpretation differences, rounding, or limitations in carrying out the measurement.

The asking price per square meter is 6,380 euros, which reflects the premium location in the Scheepvaartkwartier and the modern, energy-efficient renovation of the property. The delivery date is to be agreed upon between buyer and seller.

The listing agent, Kolpa van der Hoek Makelaars & Taxateurs, represents the seller in this transaction. Prospective buyers are advised to engage their own NVM-certified real estate agent to represent their interests during the purchase process.
