Description

As vibrant as the surrounding city may be, living here offers true relaxation. The atmosphere in the 16th-century building ‘Vogel Phenix’ is one of peace and calm — including a view of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. This three-bedroom apartment was delivered in shell condition in 2020 and was then fully fitted out by the current owners with the help of professional firms. The result? A high-quality and luxurious apartment with premium finishes such as high-end parquet flooring with underfloor heating, meticulous painting, custom-made elements throughout (including the curtains), and built-in closets.

Entrance hall with solid security door and wardrobe closet. At the front: shared first bathroom for the two smaller bedrooms. Technical/laundry room with connection for washing machine(s). Separate guest toilet with hand basin.

And then, the heart of this apartment: a large custom kitchen with Miele appliances, Bora cooktop, and Louis Culot worktop. A charming archway leads to the spacious living room with built-in TV unit and bookcase. From the recessed terrace, you overlook the shared inner courtyard. Even more built-in storage can be found in the main bedroom at the back, complete with its own bathroom and toilet. Finally, the low energy costs are a welcome bonus to this top-quality offering.

This luxurious city cocoon could soon be yours!

Luxueuze stadscocon in historisch pareltje
Luxurious materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and an abundance of built-in storage… When we furnished this space, four years ago, we truly went all the way.

owner speaks out

This authentic building, with its delightful and timeless charm, has been carefully updated using the most modern techniques. We’ve carried that same attention to detail into the apartment itself. Luxurious materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and an abundance of built-in storage… When we furnished this space, four years ago, we truly went all the way. We absolutely love the bright, spacious rooms with their high ceilings, flooded with natural light. Our contact with the neighbours has been warm and friendly — there’s a real sense of community here. At the same time, it’s nice to know that privacy is always respected. This place is filled to the brim with memories we will always treasure, because here, in the heart of the city, we started our family. We’ll definitely miss this stately neighbourhood, with its historic city palaces and charming local spots, right near the lively Eilandje — a feeling that continues inside our apartment, where authentic elements flow seamlessly into modern luxury.
