A magnificent, four-storey (FAMILY) TOWNHOUSE (approx. 320m²), situated on a small square, amidst a beautiful row of buildings (dating from 1904) that have been preserved; opposite the oldest city park in the Netherlands, “De Plantage”, and with its garden (and jetty) directly bordering the Schie (Buitenhaven).
Virtually all the details characteristic of the period have been preserved and restored, forming the basis for a tasteful and high-quality renovation. The house offers all modern comforts, sustainable solutions (Energy Label C) and new technical installations.
The development is ‘surrounded’ by lush greenery and historic Schiedam buildings, and is conveniently located near the A20 and A4 motorways, a railway station with direct connections to Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Utrecht, and a metro station with direct connections to Rotterdam and the beach at Hoek van Holland. The tram stop is just around the corner.
The back garden borders the Buitenhaven, which, ‘once on the water’, offers direct access to Schiedam’s canals and the Nieuwe Waterweg.
Plein Eendragt offers peace, space and privacy to a small group of residents who really have no desire to move…
