Our children grew up here in peace and safety, with many schools nearby and in a pleasant neighbourhood. What appealed to us from the start was the freedom and privacy: no neighbours looking in, but always a view of our beautifully landscaped garden, which brings colour and atmosphere in every season.
The large terrace, under the multi-stemmed trees, is our favourite place in the summer. Together with the garden, it forms a real extra living space, where we could enjoy playing, barbecuing and relaxing in the open air to the full.
Another big plus is the beautiful Hof de Bist park, diagonally opposite our house. It's ideal for walking, jogging or taking the children to the playground. Ekeren is a somewhat quieter district of Antwerp, yet the connections to Antwerp are excellent. You can quickly reach the heart of the city by bike or train, so peace and accessibility go hand in hand here.
Inside, our architecturally designed home offers plenty of light and an open layout, giving the house a pleasant and spacious feel. We also always had a great relationship with our lovely neighbours. And perhaps most unique of all: the mornings when we see our Ouessant sheep grazing peacefully in the garden while we eat breakfast. That feeling of tranquillity and connection with nature is what makes this house so special to us. Did you know that our house is featured on the Ekeren Architecture Cycle Route?
