Description

On Zurenborg, in a side street of the famous Cogels-Osylei, surrounded by many beautiful, predominantly eclectic and neoclassical bourgeois houses by well-known architects, a walk around the block is a real treat for the eyes. The bustling Dageraadplaats is within walking distance, as are shops, schools, public transport, Berchem Station and arterial roads.

This doctor's house or 'eclectic multi-family house', designed by architect H. Janssens in 1926, has enormous potential. With a thorough renovation in the late 1990s, gas heating (cond.boiler) and double-glazed windows, this is a fine project to still (partly) transform to your liking. Lots of original floors, doors, ceilings, stairs and fireplaces were nicely preserved.

Ground floor: (bicycle) garage, lots of storage space, sanitary facilities, waiting room and practice rooms. Central stairwell with authentic skylight. At the first floor in front, across the entire width of the house: the cosy living room with charming bay window and nice reading or TV corner. To the rear the dining area, kitchen, pantry and guest toilet, where the original cupboards and floors set the tone. Nice terrace with original mural.

Stately staircase to the second floor: front first large bedroom with en suite bathroom, rear second large bedroom, now office. Rear extension with useful laundry room, ironing room and toilet. Mid-floor with third bedroom and at the third floor two more spacious bedrooms and the second bathroom.

From this base at blissful Zurenborg, it will be nice and easy to combine living and working. Who will roll up their sleeves to make this beauty shine again from top to toe?

owner speaks out

This house has a great history attached to it for us. We bought it in 1994. Our two children grew up here - a lovely, warm nest, where everyone found his or her own place. In the living rooms on the first floor, we then enjoyed the always cosy togetherness. Because we had our practices on the ground floor, we could efficiently combine our busy professional life as doctors with our family life. Truly a dream combination.
