Layout
First floor — the living level
The entrance hall on the first floor, fitted with practical built-in storage and a separate toilet, leads through to the living space. The living and dining area together form a spacious zone, with a balcony to the rear. Authentic details such as stained glass, en-suite doors and a marble fireplace give this part of the home a warm, characterful feel.
The adjoining kitchen was styled by interior designer Theobert Pot as part of the popular TV programme Binnenste Buiten. The kitchen is equipped with new appliances, including a washing machine, oven and dishwasher.
Half third floor — the sleeping level
Via the private internal staircase you reach the upper level, with two bedrooms both opening onto a spacious balcony. The bathroom is completely new (2022) and features a shower, toilet and vanity unit. A landing with natural light connects the rooms.

The neighbourhood: Bergpolder
Bergpolder is one of the most beloved neighbourhoods in Rotterdam Noord. The area was developed in the 1930s according to city architect Witteveen's expansion plan and has retained its unique urban character ever since — it is now designated a protected townscape (Rijksbeschermd Stadsgezicht).
The location is excellent: Rotterdam Centraal station is approximately 1.5 km away, the vibrant city centre is reachable by bike in under 10 minutes, and yet residents enjoy a quiet, green street. Several supermarkets are within walking distance. Parking is straightforward, with residential permits readily available.
On the edge of the neighbourhood lie the iconic Hofbogen — the former railway viaduct that has become a hotspot filled with distinctive shops, restaurants and creative businesses. A new elevated walking path along the Hofbogen is expected to open by the end of 2026, offering a pedestrian-friendly route towards the city centre through greenery and away from busy traffic. The Vroesenpark, the Bergse plassen and the Van Maanenbad (a monumental swimming pool) are all within easy walking distance.
