Description

In option - Centrally located in lively “2018 Antwerp”, between the Leien and Jan Van Rijswijcklaan, within walking distance of ’t Zuid, Hof van Leysen Park and Harmonie Park. You can buy bread, dairy and meat right on the street. Enjoy brunch or lunch at Camion, dinner at Finch or one of the many other top spots in the area.

This stately neoclassical townhouse, built in 1901 for Mr. Janssens and designed by architect Antoine Feyt, is listed as heritage — and as soon as you step through the grand front gate, you’ll understand why. Elegant wrought ironwork, a wide entrance hall, high ceilings, beautifully preserved mouldings and even a real “show staircase” leading to the lifts on the right ... WOW. The gate opens fully, making it easy to access the indoor bicycle parking. The historic building has since been renovated into a handsome ensemble of seven apartments and a rear house.

On the first floor, facing the street, you’ll find this beautiful, character-filled duplex apartment. Original parquet floors, a marble fireplace with a charming stove, wrought-iron railings, and above all ... dizzyingly high ceilings and windows everywhere — authentic details that flood the rooms with natural light, delightful. From the open kitchen, you’re connected to what’s happening in the dining and living areas, perfect. Nice extra: the small front balcony. Separate toilet. Upstairs: bedroom and bathroom. Heating via heat pump (warm and cool air possible). EPC B. Parking space available for purchase at €35,000.
