A bay window, curved lines, and wrought iron are just a few of the striking details of this elegant and spacious Art Nouveau/Jugendstil upper house on Schiedamsesingel. Upon entering, it is not immediately visible what lies behind the characteristic façade.The hallway with a grand staircase that leads upstairs. Once on the first floor, our eyes are drawn to the classic wall fountain. The ceilings are high and subtly adorned with decorative borders, and the doors are beautifully framed. The longer we look at the staircase, the more details we discover, from the wooden baluster with intricate carvings to the playful balustrade. On this floor, there are two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate toilet, and an office. Both bedrooms have characteristic high ornamental ceilings, daylight in abundance, and an atmospheric fireplace, of which one is functional. Original stained glass ensuite doors separate the rooms. Both the landing and a door in the front bedroom provide access to the office. This workspace is smaller than the bedrooms but has the same features. The spacious bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, a bidet, and a washbasin. An eye-catching detail is the finish above the wall tiles.

Living room and dining room with beautiful details and classic ensuite doors.
On the second floor, you will find the living room, dining room, and kitchen. A study, a toilet, and a storage room are also located on this floor. On this floor, we can also find a classic wall fountain in the hallway. The high, ornate ceiling and the gas-based fireplace give the dining room a sense of space and grandeur while also feeling cosy and inviting. It is a delightful place for elaborate dinners or evenings filled with conversations and drinks. From the dining room, French doors lead to a small balcony with enough space for a cosy table with two chairs. It is a wonderful spot to enjoy breakfast, a cup of coffee, or quietly read the newspaper on a sunny day. The bar in the kitchen is also well-suited for this purpose. The kitchen has a modern look, plenty of storage space, and is fully equipped with cooking facilities. Ensuite doors separate the dining room from the living room, which shares the same characteristic features. Here, too, there are French doors leading to a balcony overlooking the square. On the second floor, you will also find a study with French doors to a Juliet balcony.

Three additional bedrooms and a second bathroom on the third floor.
The daylight streaming in through the skylight welcomes us as we walk to the third floor. With three spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom, this property can also serve perfectly as a family home. After all, who needs a backyard with such a beautiful playground right at your doorstep? The bedrooms have a pleasant size, good lighting, and an added bonus is the extra bathroom and a separate toilet on this floor. The bathroom features a freestanding bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a double washbasin. It creates a luxurious and comfortable space that evokes a sense of wellness. A valuable and practical addition on this floor is the walk-in closet, indispensable for those who like to have their clothes and accessories in one tidy place. Just opposite the walk-in closet is a laundry room with connections for washing equipment, where clothes can be washed and ironed. Lastly, we discover the rooftop terrace, with enough space for two double lounge sofas and planters for a touch of greenery. Here, residents are close to the bustling heart of Rotterdam, yet they hardly hear any traffic.
