Description

On the corner of Koninklijkelaan and Hugo Verriestlaan, in the heart of the highly sought-after Pulhof neighborhood, with a bakery, fish shop, butcher, and restaurants all within walking distance. The city center is easily accessible by tram or bike, and the Middelheim, Nachtegalen, and Den Brandt parks, as well as major access roads, are nearby.

This brutalist apartment building is an early design from 1961 by architect Paul Meekels, who trained under Léon Stynen. The client was Agnes Brenders, Meekels’ wife.

From the entrance hall, you are immediately transported back to the 1960s – with tuff stone wall cladding, a slate floor, and a beautiful 1967 relief in which sculptor Paul Claes depicts a mother and child.

The elevator takes you to the sixth and top floor of this sun-drenched corner apartment. Entrance hall. Separate guest toilet. The bright living area, with parquet flooring, is flooded with natural light. The fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere, and the floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning open views. The adjoining, renovated kitchen is fully equipped and allows you to cook while enjoying the view.

The three bedrooms, all bright and finished with beautiful parquet floors, can be arranged according to your needs. The renovated bathroom features a spacious shower and sink. A private cellar and bicycle storage add convenience, but the true highlight is the terrace, enjoying afternoon and evening sun and offering fantastic views over the green, stately Koninklijkelaan.

Brutalism with a view – a unique home in one of Antwerp’s most desirable neighborhoods.
