Description

Surprisingly quiet living and yet always something to do, here at the Groen Kwartier: a bite to eat at Bar Vert or in the always atmospheric PAKT site ... All nearby, just like Antwerp city centre, Berchem Station and arterial roads - a true top location in the city.

The lift takes you to the seventh floor of this beautiful Art Deco-style apartment building, designed by Alfons Francken in 1921. More than a century old, in other words, and still gloriously timeless. More than that: the current owner (architect) transformed it into a contemporary flat where the authentic elements were literally and figuratively highlighted.

Air, light and space flow from entrance hall to lounge and dining room. Swing open the doors to the small but nice terrace and it feels as if you are dining outside. Here you have plenty of sun in the afternoon and evening, overlooking the communal courtyard garden and the impressive 1876 castle building. The - formerly separate - office space has now been co-integrated into the lounge. The impressive floor-to-ceiling bookcase makes this a great home office or reading corner.

Cosy breakfast nook in the separate kitchen with practical storage. Built-in cupboards can be found here à volonté - handy. In the corridor leading to the sleeping area, the lamps, hung by Muller Van Severen, are an integral part of the architectural design. They create an impressive museum effect Via this way you reach the guest toilet, laundry room, three spacious bedrooms and bathroom.
