OPPORTUNITY! This amazing double ground floor apartment of no less than ± 171 m² is anything but average. The property breathes charm, character and comfort and feels wonderfully spacious and bright. With a fantastic living kitchen, a playful layout with a mezzanine, three (possibly four) generous bedrooms, a large and a smaller living room, a sunny backyard and a sustainable energy label A, this can rightly be called a unique opportunity. Add to that a prime location in the popular Katendrecht area and the picture is complete. This is not just any property! Upon entering, the unique style of this beautiful home is immediately noticeable. The living kitchen on the raised ground floor forms the beating heart of the house and is fully equipped with all conveniences. The open and bright space stands out because of its impressive height, large windows and playful mezzanine. The mezzanine connects the raised ground floor with the living room on the basement and garden level, giving the home an open and social character. A special detail is the colorful wiring in the balustrade of the mezzanine, which creates a playful and light accent and can easily be adjusted to your own taste. At the same time, the mezzanine enhances the sense of space and provides extra daylight. On the raised ground floor you will also find a spacious bedroom of 14 m², a bathroom, a sitting room with a practical built-in cupboard and two stair cupboards with ample storage space. Via the beautiful open spiral staircase you reach the living room on garden level. What immediately stands out is the height, light and space. The living room can be arranged in countless ways and offers plenty of room for a comfortable sitting or lounge area, and with provisions for a projector you have a true home cinema here. On this level there are also two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. Do you work from home a lot? Then the intermediate room is a perfect workspace, separated at the front by a beautiful glass GERS door. This space can also be converted into a fourth bedroom. In good weather, open the doors to the green garden, the extension of the living room. A wonderful place to enjoy outdoor living, on the terrace or under the canopy. The shed offers space for tools and bicycles. Directly behind the private garden lies a hidden gem: the shared inner garden of no less than 1150 m². Here you experience an oasis of calm in the middle of the vibrant city. With pear, apple and cherry trees, a chicken coop and various seating areas, it is a delightful place to spend time.

For the space, the light, the pleasant layout, the friendly neighborhood where everyone knows each other. And certainly also for the garden. About fifteen years ago we ended up here, at the start of this renovation project. From 2009 onwards, the residential block was completely structurally renovated by BAM. The layout was fully designed according to our wishes, in consultation with an architect. The result: a wonderful home with lots of light and openness, long sightlines, one-and-a-half living rooms, a spacious kitchen and four sleeping/working rooms. Within the block we also have a great spot, with a park at the front and at the back exactly at the deepest point of the triangular inner garden: lots of views and again a sense of space. The history is in the front facade, the comfort on the inside. And there are also many stories behind the layout: a bookcase made by a local furniture maker, mezzanine railings designed by a friend who is a designer, a floor that we removed ourselves from a classic table tennis hall together with neighbors. And the spiral staircase was spotted by friends at a business premises on Katendrecht – after some arrangements, welding and repainting, our house gained another element with a story. Both our private garden and the shared inner garden are a small paradise, very special for living in the middle of the city. Children can play here, adults can sit, eat and drink together. It is a nature-friendly garden, the number of birds is surprising. We will miss it, but gladly pass it on to new residents, who we hope will enjoy it just as much as we have! The neighborhood: Katendrecht, known to many Rotterdam residents as De Kaap, is a popular peninsula between the Maashaven and Rijnhaven. Here you live between history and modern architecture, with the lively Deliplein as the vibrant center. The iconic ss Rotterdam and Theater Walhalla are within walking distance.
