Nieuwe Westen – A Vibrant and Characterful Neighbourhood

Saftlevenstraat is located in one of Rotterdam’s most desirable neighbourhoods. Surrounded by elegant historic facades, broad avenues, and a thriving creative atmosphere, you will enjoy the best of city living. The lively Nieuwe Binnenweg is just around the corner, offering an array of boutiques, coffee bars, specialty shops, and inviting restaurants. The Museumpark, Rotterdam city centre, Erasmus MC, schools, and excellent public transport connections are all within easy reach. This is comfortable urban living with everything close at hand.

Ground Floor – Light, Space, and Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living
Through your private entrance, you enter a spacious and stately hallway. An authentic interior door—a charming original feature that immediately sets the tone—leads you further into the home. The hallway also offers a separate cloakroom area and a guest toilet with washbasin, combining practicality with character.

The living room is situated at the front of the property. Large windows allow natural light to flood the space while offering views over the vibrant Nieuwe Binnenweg. In the evening, the setting sun creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

At the rear, the dining room and kitchen flow naturally into one another, creating the heart of the home. This is where you gather, cook, work, entertain, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee while looking out towards the garden.

From the kitchen, you step onto a balcony that enjoys the morning sun. A staircase leads down to the city garden: green, peaceful, and sheltered. It is a wonderful urban retreat where you can enjoy sunshine in the morning and comfortable shade in the afternoon—perfect for relaxing, entertaining guests, or working outdoors.

This floor also includes an additional room, ideal as a home office, hobby room, or guest bedroom, depending on your needs.

Lower Ground Floor
A staircase from the hallway leads to the lower ground floor, which is remarkable for its spaciousness and the surprising amount of natural daylight throughout.

Here you will find two generously sized bedrooms, one of which has direct access to the garden. This creates a tranquil connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The bathroom is spacious and well-appointed, featuring a shower, double washbasin, and bidet. A separate toilet provides additional convenience.

There is also another versatile room on this level, suitable as a home office, TV room, gym, or third bedroom. A large storage room and separate laundry area ensure that the space remains practical and well organised.

This floor can easily function as a dedicated sleeping level, a work-from-home environment, or a combination of both—offering flexibility to adapt to different stages of life.

At the front of the property, there is also a convenient wine cellar housing the utility meters, providing an additional 4 m² of storage space.
