Description

Super quiet and almost car-free living, nestled between St. Paul’s Church and the Cathedral of Our Lady — the pride of Antwerp. Just 300 metres from the Grote Markt, with a Delhaize around the corner, surrounded by tranquillity, architecture, charming shops, pedestrian streets and countless cosy terraces.

Hidden behind the inner courtyard lies this traditional deep house, designed by none other than bOb Van Reeth, one of Belgium’s most influential architects. In fact, our very first Flemish Government Architect once lived here himself.

Step into the communal courtyard and feel the calm wash over you. Four round stair towers form the unmistakable eye-catchers of this architectural ensemble, offering you a unique living or working experience.

On the ground floor, a surprisingly high and bright room awaits. Today, this special space is used as an atelier, but it could easily be transformed into an extra bedroom. Thanks to the large windows and spaciousness, the room radiates a special energy.

One floor up: a bathroom with bathtub, soft materials and space for storage. On the next level you’ll find the living area, where the lounge, dining area and kitchen flow seamlessly together. The bedroom is at the very top, under the roof ridge. Warm parquet floors, wooden accents in the kitchen, baby-blue tiles, glass blocks subtly letting the light in, and crisp white walls create a serene atmosphere to come home to.

Finally, the silence you experience here — both literally and figuratively — is simply unheard of.

Extra features: a convenient bike storage area and a practical cellar provide additional comfort and storage space.

The perfect place for city lovers in search of a unique home — full of character, a touch of history, and a soul of its own.

owner speaks out

For us, this house has always felt like a safe and comforting haven in the heart of the city. We lovingly renewed the interior without touching its historic character. The studio, with its large bookcase, was a dream come true and a wonderful source of inspiration. We hope that the next residents will enjoy living here as much as we have. It’s such a joy to live somewhere so peaceful and yet so close to all the vibrant life the city has to offer. For us, this truly was the perfect urban cocoon!
