Claes de Vrieselaan 82-A3021 JS RotterdamMiddelland

Double ground-floor apartment with garden · foundation restored · shell-condition basement The home A handsome double ground-floor apartment, located in the heart of the city's old centre. The garden faces east and borders directly onto the beautiful, green communal gardens of the Mathenesserlaan and Schietbaanlaan — a surprisingly quiet, green setting right in the middle of the city. Main floor Entrance with cloakroom and toilet. The living floor is defined by an en-suite room layout with characterful, original details: solid oak flooring, panelled doors, leaded-glass windows and high ornamental ceilings have all been preserved. A bright kitchen opens onto the garden. Basement — shell condition, ready for your own design The home is offered with the foundation restoration already completed and a fully concrete, shell-condition basement. This means you can decide exactly how this floor takes shape: an extra bedroom, a home office, a lounge with doors to the garden — the canvas is blank and the foundation is brand new. For anyone who'd rather design their own space than inherit someone else's choices, this is a rare opportunity. Middelland Middelland is the place to be. The neighbourhood around the Nieuwe Binnenweg has grown into one of the most sought-after spots in Rotterdam West: a mix of specialty shops, design stores and a hospitality scene that keeps pace with the city. It's no surprise that a whole new crowd has been settling here in recent years — living right where it's happening, within walking distance of everything, without compromising on space, light or character. A street with history The Claes de Vrieselaan has existed since 1894 and follows the route of a centuries-old drainage channel. The name goes back much further: around 1270, Claes de Vriese was granted permission by Count Floris V to dike the Schoonderloo polder. So this is a street with a story spanning almost eight hundred years — and a streetscape that still radiates that stately past: characterful façades with original details, high ceilings, original detailing, and a green, calm character right in the middle of the city's bustle. The neighbourhood: life within walking distance A few minutes' walk brings you to the Nieuwe Binnenweg, the beating heart of Middelland and the Oude Westen. Here you'll find an endless string of coffee bars, specialty shops and places to eat — from a freshly baked roll at the local bakery to an evening enjoying one of the many international kitchens the street has to offer. Fancy a drink on a terrace? The Heemraadsplein, a green oasis on the Binnenweg, is the place to be the moment the sun comes out. For music lovers, this is a goldmine: live music venue Rotown is just around the corner, and anyone who loves an evening of jazz, dinner and atmosphere all in one will find their match at Jazzcafé Dizzy — one of the best-known jazz clubs in the Netherlands. The squares and cafés around the Middellandplein have also been refreshed in recent years, with trendy new hospitality concepts making the neighbourhood even livelier. This is a neighbourhood for anyone who thrives on energy, who'd rather cycle than sit in traffic, and who enjoys a short evening stroll for a good glass of wine. For the urban professional, the couple who loves city life, or the creative freelancer who wants to both work and go out right around the corner, this is exactly the place.
