A spacious detached home in Overschie
This detached house on Theodora Jacobalaan has a generous 170 m² of living space, set on a 215 m² plot. Built in 1927, it had an F energy label, so heating costs would be something to factor in.

For context, detached houses in Rotterdam were a rare find in this price range. This home has not been online since 25 August 2026.
