VISIT THIS UNIQUE HOME DURING THE OPEN HOUSE ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, BETWEEN 11:00 AM AND 12:00 PM. LIVING ON TWO LEVELS IN THE FORMER BAUMANN CHURCH Not your standard apartment, but a home with character, space and all the comforts of modern living. This contemporary three-room apartment is situated on the south side of the former Baumann Church in Overschie and is arranged over two floors. The property offers approximately 90 m² of living space, two bedrooms, a generous private terrace, a modern kitchen and an A+++ energy label. It also features underfloor heating and floor cooling. All of this in a truly distinctive setting, approximately 15 minutes by bicycle from Rotterdam city centre. The former Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, better known as the Baumann Church, was given an entirely new purpose in 2022. With respect for the original architecture, the listed building was renovated and transformed into a unique residential complex. It is precisely this combination of old and new that makes this apartment so special. The atmosphere and solid character of the former church are still clearly present, while the apartment itself is sleek, modern and completely ready to move into. THE APARTMENT The apartment is located on the second floor and can be reached by both stairs and lift. You enter into the hallway, which offers space for a coat area and provides access to a separate toilet. From here, you continue into the living room, where your attention is immediately drawn to the large aluminium French doors. These doors open onto the private terrace. This is a pleasant outdoor space with plenty of room for a dining table, chairs or a lounge area. Open the doors in summer and the indoor and outdoor spaces flow naturally into one another. The living room has a pleasant, open layout with ample space for a large dining table and a comfortable seating area. The overall look is contemporary, but the shape and character of the building ensure that the room feels anything but ordinary. The open-plan kitchen fits seamlessly into the space. It features sleek white cabinetry, a calm and modern design and a full range of Siemens built-in appliances, including a refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher and combination microwave oven. There is also a Bora induction hob with integrated extractor and a Quooker. TWO DISTINCTIVE BEDROOMS The upper floor is accessed via the staircase in the hallway. Both bedrooms are situated on this level. They are located at the front of the property and feature high ceilings, immediately creating a spacious feel. What makes these rooms particularly special are the characteristic arched architectural elements that have been retained from the original building. These details give the rooms a playful, almost loft-like character that is rarely found in a conventional apartment. Additional roof windows allow plenty of natural daylight to enter and further enhance the sense of space. The bathroom is also located on this floor and is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, second toilet and a double washbasin with vanity unit. This floor perfectly illustrates what sets this apartment apart: historic shapes and architectural details combined with a calm, contemporary finish. COMFORTABLE AND READY TO MOVE INTO In terms of comfort, the property is entirely suited to modern living. The apartment is fully gas-free and equipped with a heat pump, underfloor heating and floor cooling. Particularly during warm summer days, the floor cooling is a feature you are likely to appreciate very quickly. The apartment was fully finished in 2022 and is therefore ready for immediate occupation. No major renovation works or months of DIY are required; simply furnish the property and move in. With HR++ glazing and an A+++ energy label, the apartment is also highly energy-efficient and future-proof. A private storage room in the basement provides additional practical storage space for belongings that are not needed on a daily basis. The complex also includes a communal bicycle storage facility. THE BAUMANN CHURCH The former Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, better known as the Baumann Church, has been a recognisable landmark in Overschie for decades. The church was designed after the Second World War by Rotterdam architect J.P.L. Hendriks. Its traditionalist architecture can be recognised by its robust building volumes, restrained design and characteristic façades. The asymmetrically positioned bell tower gives the building its distinctive appearance. During the 2022 transformation, great care was taken to preserve the building’s original identity. Characteristic brickwork and stained-glass details were retained or reinstated in various locations. The original church square was also preserved, allowing the complex to retain its distinctive place within the neighbourhood. LIVING IN OVERSCHIE In many ways, Overschie still has the feel of a village, while being located within Rotterdam. Shops, supermarkets, schools and sports facilities are all within easy reach. Green spaces are close by as well: Sidelingepark is just around the corner and is a pleasant place for a walk, a run or simply to spend some time outdoors. At the same time, Rotterdam city centre can be reached in approximately 15 minutes by bicycle. A peaceful place to live, with the city always close at hand. A bus stop for line 33 is located approximately two minutes’ walk away, providing a connection to Rotterdam Central Station in around 10 minutes.
