A two-level garden apartment, featuring a delightful kitchen-diner and a wonderful back garden. It is fully prepared for the energy transition, utilizing a heat pump for both heating and cooling. The property offers approximately 113 m² of living space, 2 bedrooms, a spacious private garden, a modern kitchen with an island, and an A+++ energy label. It is equipped with underfloor heating and cooling—all situated in a unique location, just a 15-minute bike ride from the center of Rotterdam. The former 'Our Lady of Perpetual Help' church—better known as the 'Baumannkerk'—was repurposed in 2022. The historic building was renovated and transformed into a unique residential complex, with careful respect for its original architecture. It is precisely this blend of old and new that makes this apartment so special. You can still sense the atmosphere and robust character of the former church, while the residence itself is sleek, modern, and completely move-in ready. The apartment is located on the ground floor. Upon entering through the main entrance, it is immediately clear that this is no ordinary building. Continuing inside, you reach the front door of this charming ground-floor home. You enter into a hallway with space for a coat rack, as well as a separate toilet. From here, you move into the living room, which features an open-plan kitchen. The rear of the home consists largely of glass. Beyond this lies a private terrace—a lovely outdoor space with plenty of room for a table, chairs, or a lounge area. In the summer, simply open the doors, and the indoor and outdoor spaces blend together seamlessly. The living room boasts a pleasant, open layout, offering ample space for a large dining table and a comfortable seating area. The atmosphere is modern, yet the building’s unique shape and aesthetic ensure the space feels anything but standard. The open-plan kitchen complements this perfectly, featuring sleek white cabinetry, a calm, understated look, and a full suite of built-in Siemens appliances—including a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, and combination microwave. It is also equipped with a Bora induction cooktop with an integrated extractor system, as well as a Quooker tap. A staircase from the hallway leads to the first floor, which houses a spacious master bedroom and a second bedroom—both overlooking the garden. There is a well-appointed bathroom complete with a bathtub, shower, vanity unit with drawers, and a second toilet. COMFORTABLE AND MOVE-IN READY In terms of comfort, the home is entirely up to date. The apartment is completely gas-free and features a heat pump, underfloor heating, and underfloor cooling—a luxury you will quickly come to appreciate, especially on warm summer days. The property was fully finished in 2022, making it move-in ready. There is no need for major renovations or months of DIY work; simply furnish the space and start living. With HR++ double glazing and an A+++ energy label, the home is both energy-efficient and future-proof. For added convenience, there is a private storage unit in the basement—perfect for stowing away items you don’t need on a daily basis—as well as a communal bicycle storage area within the complex. THE BAUMANNKERK The former Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help—better known as the 'Baumannkerk'—has been a recognizable landmark in the Overschie district for decades. The church was designed following the Second World War by the Rotterdam-based architect J.P.L. Hendriks. The traditionalist architecture is characterized by features such as robust building volumes, a restrained design, and distinctive facades. The asymmetrically positioned bell tower gives the building its striking appearance. During the transformation in 2022, great care was taken to preserve this original identity. Characteristic brickwork and stained-glass details have been retained or restored in various places. The original church square has also been preserved, ensuring that the complex continues to hold a unique place within the neighborhood. LIVING IN OVERSCHIE In many places, Overschie still feels like a village—yet it’s located right in the heart of Rotterdam. Shops, supermarkets, schools, and sports facilities are all just a short distance away. You don’t have to go far for a bit of greenery, either: Sidelingepark is just around the corner—a lovely spot for a walk, a run, or simply sitting outside. At the same time, you can reach the center of Rotterdam in about 15 minutes by bike. Enjoy quiet living while keeping the city close by. A bus stop for line 33 is just a 2-minute walk away, taking you to Rotterdam Central Station in 10 minutes.
