Description

Between the historic city centre and the trendy Eilandje district lies this luxurious three-bedroom apartment. Everything you need is within walking distance: shops, restaurants, museums, theatres, ... Here, in the heart of the city, tranquillity reigns behind the impressive façade of this building steeped in history, in a unique location — right across from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.

The first recorded history of this building, formerly known as “Vogel Phenix” or “Brandcoffer”, dates back to the 16th (!) century. Today, it houses a project of sleek, modern apartments hidden behind a beautifully preserved, protected façade.

This three-bedroom apartment was delivered in shell condition in 2020 and has since been completely custom-fitted by the current owners, with the help of professional firms, featuring abundant premium finishes and built-in cabinetry. Entrance hall with solid security door, cloak and shoe cabinets. At the front: two (children’s) bedrooms with large windows and a shared bathroom. Utility room with washer connection(s). Separate guest toilet with hand basin. Then, the heart of the home: a large custom-made kitchen equipped with top-quality appliances (Miele, Bora). A charming archway leads to the spacious living area with numerous built-in features. From the covered terrace, you overlook the shared inner courtyard. The master bedroom is located at the rear, with a generous dressing area and a large en-suite bathroom with toilet. Finally, the low energy costs add an extra touch of appeal to this exceptional property.

This luxurious city cocoon could soon be yours!

Luxueuze stadscocon in historisch pareltje
Both in this historic neighborhood and in our apartment, authentic elements blend seamlessly with modern luxury. It truly feels like coming home here.
Francesca and Joris, the owners,

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.
