Description

Centrally located in lively “2018 Antwerp”, between the Leien and Jan Van Rijswijcklaan, within walking distance of ’t Zuid, Hof van Leysen park and Harmoniepark. Bread, dairy and meat can be bought in the same street. Great spots for brunch or lunch include Camion, and for dinner Finch or one of the many other top addresses nearby.

This stately neoclassical townhouse, built in 1901 for Mr. Janssens and designed by architect Antoine Feyt, is listed as heritage — and once you step through the grand front gate, you immediately understand why. Elegant wrought iron, a wide entrance hall, high ceilings, beautifully preserved mouldings and even a real “show staircase” leading to the lifts on the right… WOW. The gate can open fully — convenient for easy access to the bicycle storage inside the building. The historic property has since been converted into a stylish ensemble of seven apartments and a rear building.

On the ground floor at the street side you’ll find this beautiful, characterful duplex apartment. Original parquet flooring, a built-in cabinet with glass doors, guillotine windows and above all… high ceilings and authentic details that allow masses of daylight to flood in — delightful. Upstairs: living and dining area with open kitchen. Practical: a ladder leads to an extra sleeping area or storage space. Downstairs: bedroom, bathroom and separate toilet. The apartment does need some love. Heating via heat pump (hot and cold air possible). EPC B.
