Description

In option - Located in the quiet Oosterveld neighbourhood, nestled within the sought-after triangle of Wilrijk, Berchem and Mortsel, this is a place where everything comes together effortlessly. Wide, green streets and a residential atmosphere give the area its timeless charm, while everyday amenities are just around the corner: schools, shops, sports clubs and public transport are all easily accessible. The motorway to Brussels is also nearby, allowing you to reach the city or leave it in no time. A prime location in the southern outskirts of Antwerp, where tranquillity and accessibility meet perfectly.

Behind this 1930s façade lies a rare opportunity: a modernist architect’s home designed by Jan van Joenerboey, filled with light, character and outstanding renovation potential. Authentic features and clean architectural lines form the foundation of a truly special residential project.

The entrance hall with staircase and guest toilet leads on one side to the kitchen and on the other to the spacious living area. In the living room, the beautiful herringbone parquet immediately sets the tone, while large windows allow natural light to flood the space and open up views onto the garden. Adjacent is the dining room, a place where long dinners naturally unfold. The kitchen features a charming, light-filled breakfast corner overlooking the greenery — the perfect spot to start the day peacefully.

On the first floor you will find three generous bedrooms, two of which overlook the garden and still retain their original built-in wardrobes. The bathroom, a beautifully preserved example of 1930s architecture, is fitted with a bathtub and a double washbasin.

The basement level includes a garage, a dry cellar and a brand-new central heating boiler.

In short, this characterful home with garden, abundant natural light and a prime location near the Pulhof district represents a rare opportunity for lovers of architecture.
Dreaming of a renovation project with character, a garden and distinctive architecture? Discover this modernist home and be surprised by its light, space and potential.

The owners,

owner speaks out

For us, this has always been far more than just a house. It is a safe haven where light, architecture and personality come together, and where we grew up surrounded by art, music and warm moments with family and friends.
Our parents created a home here that always felt both welcoming and harmonious. We still smile when we think about the music that filled the house; the song “Je t’aimais, je t’aime et je t’aimerai” by Francis Cabrel was one of their favourites and perfectly expresses what this home means to us.
