Description

Amid the stately townhouses of prestigious Elisabeth Avenue, on the edge of the beloved Pulhof district, lies this charming home full of character and potential. Within walking distance of Antwerp’s green lungs (Nachtegalenpark, Middelheim, and Den Brandt), and close to schools, public transport, main access roads, and Berchem Station — a location that perfectly balances style, nature, and accessibility.

Some homes seem to rest — not out of neglect, but out of patience. Built in 1928, this elegant residence is one of those sleeping beauties quietly awaiting her second life. With 270 m² of living space and only two owners since its creation, it exudes a rare sense of continuity and calm.

The magnificent magnolia tree in the front garden immediately sets the tone — an air of elegance that continues inside. The marble entrance hall, herringbone parquet floors, high ceilings, and ornate doors whisper stories from another time. In the living room, light dances across the parquet, while the adjoining dining room and veranda invite long conversations overlooking the west-facing garden — a secluded oasis full of life.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms and a bright bathroom await, while the third floor offers three additional rooms — a blank canvas for expansion or imagination.

The house has a full basement, gas heating, roof insulation (2013), and an excellent EPC label C — rare for this type of property. It provides a solid foundation to unite heritage and modern comfort. A home with a soul — not just to inhabit, but to bring back to life. Here, the past isn’t a constraint; it’s the finest foundation for a unique renovation project.

Next to the romantic Pulhof district, a historic home awaits revival. Let your imagination be inspired by this one-of-a-kind property full of character.
