Description

In the heart of Zurenborg, with the ‘casual hangout restaurant’ De Walvis and Dageraadplaats just around the corner. Berchem station, the tram, the motorway, the city centre, shops and amenities are also nearby. This part of Antwerp, on the border between Zurenborg and Berchem, is known for its architectural masterpieces and lively, welcoming atmosphere.

The elegant façade of this eclectic-style townhouse looks almost exactly as it did when builder Peeters-Gowie constructed it in 1893. Meanwhile, the entire house underwent a complete makeover in 2013. That thorough, tasteful renovation added a generous dose of modern comfort to this beautifully preserved, classic townhouse.

Ground floor with many authentic features, a stylish entrance hall, sandblasted staircase and a huge open-plan kitchen with dining area, an XL cooking island and a cosy patio that brings in light and air. The spacious basement, with built-in cupboards and a practical laundry room, offers plenty of extra storage space.

On the first floor, you’ll find two bedrooms, which share a handy shower room in the middle. There’s a separate toilet in the hallway. The second and third floors have undergone a real transformation, featuring a lovely living space with an adjoining study and a wonderful, licensed roof terrace with evening sun. There’s a cool mezzanine with an extra bedroom, cosily tucked away under the eaves.

If you wish, you can take over the current owners’ double garagebox @ €80,000, just around the corner at Plantin-Moretuslei 166.
