Description

Living in a quiet cycling street, with a view of the water and yet within cycling distance of Ghent center? Here it is possible, because you are almost right in the middle between Urban Nature Reserve Bourgoyen-Ossenmeersen and the historic Gravensteen - an excellent base.

And inside, even more beauty awaits. This utterly charming middle-class house from around 1890 was renovated in 2020 and split into 5 residential units (without a syndicator). The apartment is conveniently located on the ground floor, spacious and ready to move in.

Beautiful parquet flooring, high ceilings, authentic marble fireplace mantles, ornate moulures.... This place breathes over a century of history and you can feel it. At the same time, the apartment recently received a major upgrade, so in addition to charm and history, you also get a generous portion of contemporary comfort. The beautiful light and warm wood give it a timeless, Scandinavian touch.

The large living space, bright and with many original details, is connected to the modern, black kitchen. The lounge invites you to cocoon, the dining area to cozy dinners. Prefer the dishes in the kitchen out of sight? You can also close off kitchen and living space from each other with the original, ceiling-high double door.

Behind the kitchen is the spacious bedroom and en suite bathroom with sink and shower. Separate toilet. Nice extra: the selling price includes a separate, covered storage room in the Goudvinkstraat (parallel to the Groendreef), a convenient place to store your garbage bags and bikes.

The owner,

owner speaks out

'I bought this apartment after the renovation, and I immediately fell in love with the charming elements they had kept. Keeping the original character while doing a thorough renovation does not usually go hand in hand, but here it does: in this place I really found the best of both worlds. Take the white-painted facade, it radiates a lot of character - and inside it only gets better!

The neighbors are very pleasant and quiet, and also the soothing view over the water is priceless to me. Whether I want to leave by car, or ride my bike into town, it is always smooth and fast. After many years, as a native of Ghent, I am moving to the sea to enjoy being outdoors even more, but I will never forget this lovely place.'
