Description

In option - Just a stone’s throw from the heart of the city, yet surprisingly green and peaceful. You also enjoy easy connections to the city centre and station, with plenty of charming cafés and restaurants nearby.

From this beautiful open apartment on the sixth floor, redesigned by an architect, you are surrounded by greenery on both sides. Thanks to this architectural renovation, every space feels bright and thoughtfully designed. Natural daylight floods in abundantly throughout the apartment – from the morning light at the front to the sunset at the rear. Many charming details, such as the natural stone counter, herringbone parquet flooring, and marble accents in the floors and window sills, create a timeless interior full of character.

Spacious entrance hall with separate storage room and toilet. Living area and beautiful open kitchen with a practical first terrace, perfect for a herb garden or rubbish bins. At the rear are two bedrooms, one currently used as an office, with the unique designer bathroom in polyester positioned between them – a durable material also used in boat construction. The rear terrace is the ideal spot for sun lovers and aperitif enthusiasts, while the accordion doors completely open up the living space to the outdoors.

Practical bonus: the apartment offers an exceptional amount of storage space and built-in cabinets, typical of the 1950s and 1960s, with the current owners having added an extra built-in wardrobe in the bedroom. The building itself has also undergone recent works, including the rear façade and terraces. Finally, there are two bicycle storage rooms, a separate cellar storage, and a large shared courtyard.

owner speaks out

For us, this is one of the nicest neighbourhoods to live in Antwerp. The combination of light, peace, and accessibility made us fall in love with this apartment immediately. On both sides of the home, you are surrounded by greenery. At the street side, the treetops create a pleasant and sheltered feeling, while at the rear you enjoy open views towards Kiel, with green gardens, trees, and beautiful architecture in between.

Thanks to the exceptional natural light, this apartment feels especially cozy and comforting, even on darker days. The open layout also creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. During the years we lived here, we hosted many friends and family – this is truly one of those places that invites togetherness and hospitality.

Our favourite spot? Perhaps the unique and comfortable bathtub. Taking a bath while overlooking the sunset is truly something special and incredibly relaxing. And on the large rear terrace, we love enjoying aperitifs with friends until the sun goes down.

From a practical point of view, the abundance of storage space is incredibly convenient. The fact that the building is mainly occupied by owner-residents also creates a pleasant atmosphere and ensures the property is very well maintained.
