Description
Situated along the stately Heemraadssingel, this exceptional and spacious townhouse (118A and 118B), dating back from circa 1916, presents a unique opportunity. This is not a move-in-ready home, but rather a rare chance to fully develop a characterful property to your own taste and vision, in one of Rotterdam’s most beautiful and sought-after avenues.
The property offers approximately 248 m² of living space, spread over three floors and a basement, and features five rooms, generous living areas, high ceilings, and a charming city garden. Its location within a designated protected cityscape further highlights the historical value and character of the building. The house offers significant potential to combine living, working, co-living, or transformation into a truly bespoke home.
The location is particularly favourable. The property is situated directly alongside the Heemraadssingel park, in a quiet street within the Middelland district. This neighbourhood has a unique dual character: on the one hand, the vibrancy of a major city, and on the other, the relaxed atmosphere of a residential area. The shopping streets are lively and diverse, while the tree-lined canals, avenues, and surrounding streets offer peace and greenery.
Several city parks are within walking and cycling distance, including Het Park, Vroesenpark, Branco van Dantzigpark, and Essenburgpark. The historic Rotterdam Zoo (Blijdorp) is located just 900 metres away. The immediate surroundings offer a wide range of amenities such as delicatessen shops, international food stores, supermarkets, artisanal boutiques, cosy restaurants, and cafés.
Accessibility is excellent, with nearby connections to major roads (A13 and A20), tram and bus lines, and Rotterdam Central Station within walking distance. The vibrant city centre is easily and quickly reached.
Finally, the house is located in a family-friendly and social neighbourhood with engaged neighbours who look out for one another, contributing to a pleasant and safe living environment. The property has been lovingly inhabited and restored in its original style, radiating warmth and character. At the same time, it offers scope for renewal, inviting a new owner to maintain it with care and modernise it to personal taste.
Layout
Ground floor
Through the entrance, featuring original decorative mouldings, marble details, and American pinewood elements, you step into the hallway. The windows in the wooden partition still contain original faceted glass elements.
The corridor, with its authentic parquet flooring, provides access to the living room, a separate toilet with washbasin, a pantry, and a very spacious basement extending the full length of the property. The basement still features its original granito flooring and houses the newly installed central heating system.
The impressive living room, measuring over 13 metres in depth, features high ceilings with decorative mouldings, an original oak parquet floor, and large stained-glass windows that allow an abundance of natural light. At the rear, French doors made of solid American pine lead to a large veranda, providing access to a sunny and spacious city garden. The terrace forms a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living, while the garden, with its lush greenery, offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city.
Adjacent is the kitchen, equipped with a kitchen unit including a dishwasher and also a shower cabin. This space has already been prepared in recent years for the potential creation of a future bathroom.
First floor
The landing provides access to three spacious rooms and a separate toilet. The entire floor is finished with hardwood Brazilian timber flooring.
At the front is a generous room with a bay window, featuring original hand-blown round glass panes, a wood-burning stove (annually serviced), and a beautifully restored ceiling with Italian decorative mouldings. The walls are finished with Venetian plaster, creating a warm and luxurious ambience. This room is currently used as a sitting room.
At the rear is a spacious bedroom, along with a third room also overlooking the garden. The latter has connections installed but no radiator yet, allowing it to be easily configured according to your needs—for example as an additional bedroom or bathroom.
Second floor
Accessible via the original staircase, this level is an impressive open space with a characteristic roof structure, high ceilings, and beautiful exposed wooden beams. Large skylights provide an abundance of natural light and create an airy, spacious atmosphere.
The layout offers space for a multifunctional bedroom and living area, a kitchen with industrial accents, and a freestanding bathtub that enhances the distinctive loft-style feel. A staircase leads to the attic, which also provides access to the roof.
Basement
The property includes a large basement (partially semi-sunken), ideal for storage or as a wine cellar. The existing wooden shelving units will remain. It is currently also used as a laundry area with an additional sink.

- Living area approx. 248 m²
- Volume approx. 1,175 m³
