If ‘one of a kind’ applies anywhere, it is certainly to this sublime home in a former school building in the Statenlaankwartier. If you are looking for something like this, it is impossible to find, and yet it exists! As a real estate agent, you get to see a wide variety of houses, and they all have their own unique strengths. Often, you can estimate in advance roughly what you will find behind the front door, but sometimes you step inside, are completely surprised, and fall in love instantly. This incredibly charming home in a former school building is a fine example of that. Superlatives fall short of doing this house justice. The best thing is to come and take a look and let yourself be surprised by the authenticity, the character, and the spaciousness. That is something you have to experience and cannot adequately describe in words. With over 300m2 of living space and a 444m2 plot of private land, spectacularly high ceilings, a characteristic architectural style, a playful and surprising layout, a secluded green backyard, and situated in an absolute prime location, this is an absolute must-see. The Bergse Achterplas is literally a stone's throw away, and the Tarcicius School is located right around the corner. The shopping street Kleiweg, featuring an Albert Heijn among others, is very close by, as are the tram stops for lines 4 and 6 and NS Station Noord with various bus and train connections. The Rotte and the Prinsemolenpad between the Rotte and the Bergse Voorplas are within walking distance. The center of Rotterdam is quickly and easily accessible by bicycle within 10 minutes. The A16, A20, and A13 arterial roads are easily accessible. Layout: Ground floor: Entrance (and what an entrance!), spectacular hallway with skylights featuring a cloakroom on the left, a toilet, a built-in cupboard housing the central heating system, a laundry room, a bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and vanity unit, and a separate toilet room containing a children's toilet and a standard toilet. The last room on the left is the study. Across the hallway, next to the impressive staircase to the first floor, is a genuine safe with a large fire door. On the ‘right side’ of the hallway are the spacious eat-in kitchen and the sitting room in one ‘classroom’, while the other classroom has been divided into a master bedroom and a garden-facing work/dining room. From the eat-in kitchen, there is access to the veranda and the back garden.
