The Baumann Church has long been a recognizable landmark in Overschie. In 2022, the historic building was repurposed and transformed into a unique residential complex, with great care taken to preserve the original architecture. During the renovation, characteristic elements were retained and combined with contemporary finishes—a blend clearly reflected in this apartment. High ceilings, robust columns, and distinctive details still evoke the building's past, while the home itself is fully equipped for modern living. THE HOME Upon entering, you immediately sense that this home is different from a standard new-build property. The spacious living room forms the heart of the home. The existing columns and the bay window—originally part of the confessional—give the space a unique character. At the same time, the living room is bright, comfortable, and easy to arrange. The spacious island kitchen takes center stage in the room—a wonderful spot for cooking enthusiasts, as well as for long evenings spent dining with friends. The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in Siemens appliances, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and combination microwave. Additionally, it features a Bora induction cooktop with integrated extraction and a Quooker tap. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and a comfortable seating area. At the rear, French doors open onto a private terrace. The terrace adjoins the building's ornamental garden, serving as a delightful extension of the living room during the warmer months. Whether dining al fresco, enjoying a drink, or quietly reading a book, the space is there to enjoy. The apartment has two bedrooms. Both rooms are situated on the garden side, offering views of the terrace and the greenery. The bathroom is also generously sized and offers great comfort, featuring both a bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower—a bathroom designed for both practicality and comfort. It is the combination of authentic features and a modern finish that makes this apartment so special. You enjoy the character and atmosphere of a historic building without compromising on contemporary living comforts. The property also includes a private storage unit in the basement, which is easily accessible by elevator. Furthermore, there is a communal bicycle storage area in the garden. SUSTAINABLE AND COMFORTABLE In terms of technology, the home is also fully up to date. The apartment is completely gas-free and equipped with a heat pump, as well as underfloor heating and cooling. Combined with HR++ glazing and an A+++ energy label, this ensures comfortable living with low energy consumption. In short: a setting with historic character, yet offering the living comfort of a modern home. THE BAUMANNKERK The former Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help—better known as the Baumannkerk—has been a familiar landmark in Overschie for decades. The church was designed after World War II by Rotterdam architect J.P.L. Hendriks. Its traditionalist architecture is distinguished by features such as robust building volumes, a restrained design, and characteristic facades. The asymmetrically positioned bell tower gives the building its striking appearance. The 2022 transformation was carried out with careful respect for this original identity. Distinctive brickwork and stained-glass details have been preserved or restored in various places. The original church square has also been retained, ensuring the complex continues to hold a special place within the neighborhood. LIVING IN OVERSCHIE The location is also excellent. Overschie offers a village-like atmosphere, yet provides quick access to Rotterdam city center. Shops and supermarkets for daily groceries are just a short distance away, as are schools, sports facilities, and public transport. Sidelingepark is right around the corner—perfect for a walk, a run, or simply enjoying some greenery. Fancy a coffee? You can stop by places like Croqant or Boulevard. And if you don't feel like cooking, a short stroll takes you to Overschiese Dorpsstraat, home to local favorites such as the eatery *In den Berkebrom*. You live here in a quiet, green setting, yet with Rotterdam within easy reach—just a 15-minute bike ride to the city center.
