'Both the building and the neighbourhood are steeped in centuries-old history, at the crossroads of different neighbourhoods that converge here. Here you have cultural, commercial and more alternative Ghent within walking distance. In our beautiful street you will find many nice houses and - always nice - nice neighbours. Moreover, in this car-free street you will experience a lot of peace and quiet, even though you are in the heart of the city. Ridderstraat will soon be transformed into a residential area, with more greenery and extra space for cyclists and pedestrians, and the renovated Reep is also a huge added value.
I've always had a soft spot for corner houses, because there you have super much light. It's no different in this house. The view through into Jan Palfijnstraat is also very pleasant. On the outside it looks a bit like a gingerbread house, inside you are surprised by the sense of space and the high ceilings.
We renovated this house in 2019/2020, preserving as many authentic elements as possible, such as the fireplace mantels and wooden beams. How nice it is to step out the door in the evening and enjoy the beautifully lit Ghent. With a drink we ended our day, you get an instant city trip feeling. For us, this was a wonderful pied-à-terre, combined with our gallery.'
