VIJVERWEG 13      ROTTERDAM - KRALINGEN

Characteristic VILLA Hoekhove (1901, approx. 315m²), located on the corner of Vijverweg, with a GARDEN/PORCH/TERRACE with view, light and sun.

Barely 10 years ago, the current owners, with much love, patience and a good architect, restored the house to its original luster. Inside and outside, the authentic style is back combined with today's comfort and technical requirements. Thus, there is a fine “contact” between inside and outside; the huge living room merges effortlessly into the large TERRACE/VERANDA in summer. There is a well-designed kitchen, 2 luxury bathrooms and a huge cellar. The house has 8 rooms.

Vijverweg is located in Kralingen and forms part of the idyllic and original Villa neighbourhood 'park Honingen', which is characterised by a beautiful varied buildings, a lot of water (old castle pond of lock Honingen) and an abundance of greenery. De Vijverweg, with its 17 characteristic houses, and its surroundings guarantee a lovely free life and good interaction with neighbours (BBQs/ drinks) when desired............
