Specerijenhof 62

Living in Kralingen – in the former Specerijenhof, rich in history, character and luxury

On the green and tranquil edge of Kralingen lies one of Rotterdam’s most distinctive residential locations: the Specerijenhof. This hidden, gated courtyard offers a rare combination of privacy, calm and a remarkable history. The site was once home to a coffee and spice factory, where aromatic herbs and coffee beans were roasted and processed. For many years, the factory was a well‑known landmark in the neighbourhood, and during the redevelopment much of its character and historical identity has been carefully preserved.

Within this unique courtyard you will find this exceptional home at Specerijenhof 62: a modern residence finished to a high standard, featuring a warm industrial atmosphere that subtly reflects the site’s past. A home for those seeking something truly distinctive rather than standard living.

A home that surprises – space, light and high‑quality finishes
From the very first moment, the house feels special. The combination of contemporary finishes, characterful details and a thoughtful layout creates a home where comfort and atmosphere come together effortlessly.

Upon entering, the well‑designed layout immediately stands out. The spacious living room forms the heart of the home: a bright and inviting living area with large windows that provide pleasant natural light throughout the day. External sun screens ensure comfort in every season. From the living room you step onto the south‑facing terrace, a lovely outdoor space where you can enjoy the light, a cup of coffee in the sun or a relaxed moment at the end of the day. Here, outdoor living feels like a natural extension of the interior spaces.

The open‑plan kitchen, installed in 2016, connects seamlessly to the living area and serves as a central gathering place within the home. The stylish kitchen island and high‑quality appliances offer both luxury and functionality.

The kitchen is equipped with a Quooker and a Gutmann induction cooktop, while the remaining built‑in appliances are from the Siemens Studioline range, including a dishwasher, warming drawer, combi microwave and fridge‑freezer. With the addition of a combi oven featuring pulseSteam, this kitchen is not only practical but also a space that invites cooking, living and spending time together. A perfect match for the overall level of comfort and refinement found throughout the property.

Master suite with hotel‑style comfort
The master bedroom feels like a private suite, complete with electric sun screens, air conditioning and a beautiful en‑suite bathroom renovated in 2020. The GERS pivot doors offer a subtle reference to the industrial heritage of the courtyard while providing a stylish connection to the living room. The en‑suite bathroom is designed for relaxation, featuring underfloor heating, a bathtub, double washbasin and a generous rain shower, creating the feel of a private wellness retreat.

In addition to the master bedroom, there are two further bedrooms, one of which is equipped with a Cimet air conditioning system. These rooms offer great flexibility and can be used as bedrooms, home offices, guest rooms or creative spaces, depending on your needs.

The second bathroom, renovated in 2014, is practically laid out and includes a shower, washbasin with vanity unit and connections for a washing machine and dryer, making this part of the home equally functional and complete.
