Description

In the Pulhof neighbourhood, everything is truly close by: walk to the bakery, butcher, restaurants, and head straight into the city by tram or bike. Close to the green lung made up of the Middelheim, Nachtegalen, and Den Brandt parks, and near major roads to the E19 and A12. In short: a wonderful area to live in!

This small-scale 1940s building houses just three apartments – which means peaceful living. A staircase takes you to the second and top floor, where you'll find this 85 m² apartment ready for a refresh. Step inside and be charmed by the original green tiles and stunning, authentic doors.

At the front, a spacious living area with enough room for a sofa and dining table, offering a lovely view of the trees lining the street. In the morning, sunlight pours in, highlighting the stylish parquet flooring and adding extra character. At the front of the living space, there’s an additional room – currently used as a walk-in closet, but also ideal as a home office or storage room.

The super-cool kitchen at the back, with its Cubex look & feel and authentic, colourful tiles, is a real eye-catcher. It opens onto a cosy little terrace where you can enjoy green views and soak up the sun from midday onwards. Also at the rear: the bedroom, featuring original parquet flooring and shutters. And once again – full vintage charm in the bathroom, with a bathtub/shower combo, sink, and vibrant original tiles playfully paired with cheerful yellow stonework. In the hallway, you’ll find extra storage space, and downstairs, two private cellar rooms just for you.

A nice bonus: no fixed monthly charges, and for just €8/month, you can rent a spot in the bike shed right across the street.

Will you give this apartment a second life — refreshed, yet still true to the soul of the past?

An authentic place, whose original character I have consciously tried to preserve.
The owner,

owner speaks out

An authentic place, small but full of charm. I’ve consciously tried to preserve its original character as much as possible. After 25 years, I’m still just as in love with its charm inside and the green surroundings outside — but sometimes in life, it’s time for a new chapter.
