Ground floor
You have your own front door on the street. The hall has a coat rack, a shoe cabinet and the meter cupboard, and the stairs go straight up. There is no stairwell shared with other residents.
1st floor
The living room and kitchen form one open space across the full 6.35-metre width of the house. The front faces south-southwest, so light pours in all afternoon. The green kitchen has a generous gas range with a large oven, a dishwasher and a fridge-freezer.
2nd floor
Two bedrooms with triple glazing sit at the front. The smaller room also works well as a study. On the landing you will find a separate toilet, a built-in cupboard and the utility cupboard with the boiler and the balanced ventilation unit.
3rd floor
The 23 m² main bedroom spans the whole front of the house and has a built-in wardrobe. Behind it are the bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin, a cupboard with the washing machine and a generous landing. From the landing you step straight out onto the roof terrace.
The 22 m² roof terrace sits on the quiet inner side of the block, away from the street. Frosted glass screens give privacy from the neighbours. It comes with a lounge set, a table and chairs, and an outdoor tap for the plants. You look out over the rooftops of the Oude Noorden.
With the house
On the ground floor you have a private, lockable 9 m² storeroom for bikes and belongings. Your car has a dedicated space in the complex’s underground garage. The entrance is just round the corner on the Meidoornstraat and opens with a remote control. Inside the block is an enclosed green courtyard garden, for residents only.
Het Oude Noorden is a nineteenth-century neighbourhood with the river Rotte around the corner. The Zwaanshals and the Zaagmolenkade are lined with independent places: coffee roasters, bakers, bistros and a city brewery. These are my favourites from when I lived here, checked in October 2026.
The neighbourhood’s shopping street, three to five minutes on foot.
Cosy bistro with a changing, French-inspired menu.
Beer café with fourteen taps and live jazz.
Bakery and coffee bar, known for its “Rotterdamse Rol”.
Handmade ice cream since 2014.
Bookshop with Dutch and English books.

Terraces by the water, four to eight minutes on foot.
Characterful neighbourhood bar by the water.

The city centre and Rotterdam Centraal are an eight-minute bike ride away. By car you are on the ring road within five minutes, and you have a dedicated space in the garage.
Trams sometimes take a different route because of works. Check ret.nl before you travel.
Your car has its own space in the garage. Street parking here is paid, and Rotterdam only issues resident permits to homes without parking of their own. In this neighbourhood a dedicated space really counts.
Follow the Rotte and you are out of the city in no time: the Rottemeren lakes are just over half an hour away. The Kralingse Bos is ten minutes away and the city centre eight.
