Westhavenkade 373131 AD VlaardingenVettenoordse Polder Oost

Do you want to live in a monumental building with lots of character on the historic Oude Haven of Vlaardingen? This 400-year-old house was renovated in 2019 and offers an abundance of space. The studio with its own kitchen and bathroom at the rear has its own entrance door, making double occupancy possible. Welcome to Westhavenkade 37! The Westhavenkade in Vlaardingen breathes history and has always played a prominent role in the history of the "herring city". In the past, the quay served as a mooring place for ships transporting goods such as fish, grain, and other commodities. Shipyards, warehouses, fish processing companies, and other industrial facilities were established along the quay, making it a lively and bustling place. Today, Westhavenkade is mainly characterized by numerous restaurants and cultural institutions. Within walking distance, you can also find the city center with shopping center Liesveld, Hoogstraat, and Veerplein. With various shops, dining options, a cinema, and a casino nearby, you'll never have to go far from home for a fun night out. If you use public transport frequently, you can reach the metro at Station Vlaardingen Centrum within a few minutes' walk. This provides a direct connection to, among other places, the center of Rotterdam and the beach of Hoek van Holland. If you're traveling by car, you can quickly access the A4 or A20 in any desired direction. Via a small staircase, you reach the front door of the house. Then you enter the spacious and bright hallway, which features a modern tiled floor. Here you will find the toilet, stairs to the basement below, stairs to the upper floors, and access to the living room. The spacious living room is characterized by authentic details such as the beamed ceiling and brick walls, but at the same time, modern details are present such as the concrete ciré plastered chimney and built-in bio-ethanol fireplace. There is also a fixed storage cupboard in the living room, under the stairs, which can be used as a wardrobe, for example. From the living room, you enter the kitchen. Like in the hallway, the floor is fully tiled, and the walls here are also finished with concrete ciré. Prominently in the middle is the kitchen island with plenty of workspace, a Quooker tap, and a dishwasher. Along the wall, the kitchen has a wall unit with plenty of storage space, a 5-burner gas cooker with wok burner and extractor hood, an oven, a combination oven, a large fridge, and a separate freezer. From the kitchen, you step into the multifunctional attic room at the rear of the house, above the former storage area. This is currently used as a dining room and second living room but could also be (partly) arranged as a bedroom. The existing staircase takes you to the sunny west-facing roof terrace of approximately 28 m2. Here you can enjoy endless summer days in the sun. The basement at the front of the house was recently fitted with a new insulated concrete floor with underfloor heating. This space can be used for various purposes, such as a playroom, sports room, home theater, or workspace. Also, in the basement, there is a laundry room with space for a washing machine and dryer. Furthermore, at the rear, the house has an indoor storage room, which can be accessed from both the laundry room and the private side alley. Convenient for storing your bike and/or scooter, among other things. Also via the side alley, which is connected to the Vossenstraat via the back entrance, you can reach the private entrance door of the studio. This former storage space has recently been completely converted into independent living space. For this purpose, a modern open kitchen has been installed with a kitchen island equipped with a BORA induction hob and a wall unit with a dishwasher, combination oven, and fridge-freezer. The studio also has a fully tiled bathroom with toilet, walk-in shower with rain and hand shower, designer radiator, washbasin with furniture, and space for a washing machine. Of course, there are various purposes for which this studio can be used. How will you use it? Back at the front of the house, you take the stairs to the landing on the first floor. Here you will find two bedrooms, one of which is currently furnished as a walk-in closet with built-in closets. The other bedroom, at the front, is used as a master bedroom and has air conditioning. In addition, there are two bathrooms on this floor. The first bathroom has a walk-in shower with rain and hand shower, a double washbasin, and a designer radiator. In the second bathroom, there is a freestanding bathtub and washbasin. From the landing on the first floor, you go up the stairs to the attic floor. Here you will find two spacious bedrooms, each with a dormer window and air conditioning. Can you see yourself living here soon?
