EENDRACHTSWEG 59 'Nieuw Vredensteijn

MUSEUM QUARTER - ROTTERDAM CENTRE

On a green, wide canal, in the middle of the Museum Quarter in the centre of Rotterdam lies the beautiful, monumental Mansion, “Nieuw Vredensteijn”.

The HOUSE is very large, approximately 600m², has a fine GARDEN (adjacent to a public city garden) and lends itself particularly well to grand living ánd working as well as having visitors under one roof.

Because of its exceptional width of approx. 11,25m and therefore numerous windows (front and rear), it is a light house with a wide view in front over the canal with its old trees and a quiet and green city oasis behind.

This stately monument has been lovingly lived in and maintained by its current owners since 2010. It has a great layout and has retained its monumental status and classic atmosphere.

Behind the plastered frame façade (with beautiful balcony with cast-iron ornaments and long flagpole), the house has a good number of large living/sitting/sleeping/dining/working rooms, a large kitchen in the conservatory, a second kitchen (in the basement), 2 bathrooms, a spacious basement and a huge multifunctional attic, which is used as a gym.

High ceilings, large windows and a large skylight guarantee a very bright house with an open character with wonderful light in all seasons.

The HOME owes its character, among other things, to its high ornamental ceilings, original fireplaces, cupboards and authentic marble and tile floors. The large rooms have original, recently fully restored sliding doors.

The GARDEN is wide and surrounded by greenery.

The specific location with internationally renowned museums and all amenities around the corner, the classic character and the fine garden make this house the ideal place to live, with or without an office at home, for a family with a love of the city on the one hand and a penchant for indoor tranquillity on the other. Particularly charming is the view towards classic “distinctive” buildings across the canal.

The Museum Quarter (including Museum and Depot Boijmans van Beuningen, the Kunsthal and Natural History and Maritime Museum) is a popular spot in the city centre. City dwellers living (and working) here are in the immediate vicinity of the Scheepvaartkwartier, Witte de Withstraat, Het Park, excellent restaurants and a number of versatile quality shops.

Via the Maasboulevard, the Maastunnel traverse and the Erasmus Bridge, there are quick car connections to the Rotterdam Ring and the area is easily accessible by public transport. There is plenty of parking space in the immediate vicinity, including a spacious car park under the Depot of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen within walking distance.

The HOME is just 15 car minutes from Rotterdam-The Hague Airport and 40 minutes (by IC-Direct) travel time to the check-in desk at Schiphol Airport.

Several primary and secondary schools can be found in the immediate vicinity and Erasmus MC is also within walking distance.
