Description

Living here means choosing the best of both worlds: the peace and elegance of the Pulhof district, with the city within easy reach. Stroll beneath stately trees towards Nachtegalenpark, Middelheimpark, or Park Den Brandt, while the vibrant city awaits just minutes away. The neighborhood exudes character — from its architectural splendor to its warm, village-like atmosphere. This is a place where life moves at a gentler pace, without ever missing a beat.

For those who appreciate beauty in detail and have a passion for architecture, this apartment in Résidence du Centenaire is a rare find. Designed in 1931 by architect Florent Vaes, the listed building radiates pure Art Deco elegance — from the grand entrance hall to the graceful staircase and refined materials.

On the second floor, a spacious, light-filled apartment unfolds — where authenticity and comfort blend seamlessly. The entrance hall leads to an elegant living area with high ceilings, large windows, and a leafy view that changes with the seasons. Original features such as herringbone parquet floors, mosaic tiles, and ornate radiators tell the story of an era where form and refinement went hand in hand.
The kitchen, renovated in 2008, connects smoothly to a charming southwest-facing terrace — a sunny spot for morning coffee, lunch, or an afternoon glass of wine.
The layout includes two full-sized bedrooms, a third space currently used as an office or laundry room, and a tastefully renovated bath and shower room.

With a strong energy rating, a dry cellar, an elevator, and convenient parking right outside, this apartment is not only a tribute to design but also a practical and welcoming home — ideally located near both parks and city life.

Living in a piece of architectural heritage? This apartment brings modern comfort to life within a unique Art Deco setting.

owner speaks out

When I first visited this apartment, it felt like discovering a hidden gem. The Art Deco features by Florent Vaes — the herringbone parquet, the mosaic floors, the high ceilings — all exude timeless sophistication. Yet the atmosphere remains warm and welcoming; every detail feels right. In the afternoon, when the sun touches the terrace and the trees whisper outside, I’m reminded how special it is to live here. The location is ideal: peaceful, yet just minutes from Antwerp’s vibrant heart. For me, this apartment is the perfect balance between character and comfort.
