Description

Luxury Apartment – Fully Renovated & Furnished!

This spacious three-bedroom apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay in Rotterdam. Featuring a brand-new kitchen and bathroom, the apartment offers a refined, hotel-like atmosphere while retaining the charm and character of the historic building.

Located within a beautiful historic school complex in the Vreewijk neighbourhood of Rotterdam, 73 new rental apartments have been created here. From 1923 onwards, schoolchildren walked the corridors and played in the courtyard. Since 2023, the building has been given a new purpose, transformed into modern homes for young professionals, local Vreewijk residents looking to move to a new home, and expats.

Historical Background

Built in 1923, Hillehof was at the time the largest school complex in Rotterdam, covering approximately 6,000 m². Designed by architects Walter Dahlen and Ad van der Steur, the complex was part of their contribution to several schools in Rotterdam, including the Bergsingel school and the Maritime School.

The building originally housed three schools and included classrooms, a gymnasium, a bathhouse, two staff residences, and a covered children's playground.

Vreewijk is renowned for its unique urban planning and architectural character and is one of Rotterdam's historic garden-city neighbourhoods. It was one of the first garden-city developments in the Netherlands, designed in the early 20th century.

The Zuidplein shopping centre, with its wide range of shops and amenities, is just around the corner. The metro station at Zuidplein provides a direct connection to Rotterdam Central Station and the city centre, which can be reached in approximately 10 minutes. The apartment is also conveniently located near major motorways, including the A15 and A16, as well as several bus stops within walking distance.

Layout

During the renovation and furnishing of the apartment, as many original architectural details as possible were preserved, allowing the property's distinctive character and historic atmosphere to shine through.

You enter the apartment through its private entrance and arrive in the hallway. The first bedroom is located directly off the hallway. From here, you continue into the spacious living room.

The modern kitchen is located on the right-hand side of the living room and is fully equipped with everything you need, including a combination microwave oven and dishwasher.

The apartment features three bedrooms in total. Two of the bedrooms are furnished with a comfortable double bed and a storage wardrobe. The third bedroom is furnished with a single bed.
