Beautiful MANSION located in Rotterdam - Middelland

(approx. 256m²) with a wonderfully quiet and sunny garden with mature greenery and spacious seating, lounging and dining facilities. The house has been completely and thoroughly thought out by its current owners tackled, resulting in a very energy-efficient (label b) and family-friendly living/working home.

All technical facilities (of which a complete overview is available) have been replaced and perfected. The layout (previously 2 homes) has been adapted to contemporary living and working needs and a separate attic loft has even been taken into account for long-term visitors/resident staff or a free-spirited teenager!

A unique and multifunctional 4-storey town house has been created with ample living space, a private practice/work space with pantry and toilet facilities and a separately usable loft with its own kitchen, bathroom and terrace.

So, well suited for a city-loving couple or family with a desire for domestic tranquility, social gathering by the fireplace on the couch or in the kitchen. And yet there is also that ‘own’ place for every individual. Because there are 5 bedrooms, each with a very personal character.

Some highlights:

- Low temperature heating with underfloor heating in the basement and first floor.

- Beautiful handmade kitchen.

- Various floors and the roof are insulated. All pipework has been renewed.

- New window frames (in hardwood) with double glazing on the west side.

- Ornamental ceiling restored (800 hours of work!).

- ‘Visual ‘vide’ (from ground floor to basement) recently separated with a walkable glass floor; more space, more daylight and no noise!

- Beautiful all-glass and open rear facade.

Everywhere in the house beautiful materials have been combined with existing and restored elements.

The almost completely ‘new’ interior is still beautifully packaged in its classic old coat. And centrally located in an authentic and well-preserved part of the city (Middelland), with avenues and canals, which has been experiencing an immense metamorphosis for years.

Primary and secondary schools (that matter) are within walking/cycling distance.

There are 5 playgrounds and the Oostervant swimming pool, almost around the corner.

As many as 3 city markets, in the center, on the Grote Visserijplein and in the north, can be reached within 10-15 minutes.

Trams, buses, metro are really very close: lines 21 and 23. Rotterdam Airport is reachable in 10 minutes by car or 20 minutes by bus. And from Claes de Vrieselaan 13 it is only a 45-minute journey to the check-in desk at Schiphol!

You can shop until you drop at Middellandstraat, Nieuwe Binnenweg and Kruiskade, and you can do your daily shopping at the nearby Eko Plaza or AH.

Culinary relaxation is right around the corner at Fou Wine & Food, Arzu West or Roast. Or will it be that ‘pornstar Martini’ at Bar Simon? Do you cook at home anyway? You can get the forgotten vegetables at Ayoub.

The property is well located in relation to highways (A13 and A20).
