Description

On the corner of shopping arcade the Meir, with a view of the beautiful Handelsbeurs and Schippersbeurs at the back. There are lots of projects in the neighbourhood, so you'll soon have a five-star hotel (Lange Nieuwstraat), classy restaurant in the Schippersbeurs and all-weather terrace in the Handelsbeurs as new neighbours.

Magnificent beaux-arts-style building, formerly the 'Agence Maritime Internationale', with this majestic residence on the 1st floor. The building was designed by architect Joseph Hertogs. He also designed the Arenberg Theatre and the shipowner's house with the current Eugeen Van Mieghem Museum.

On entering, you immediately step into the spacious hallway. You will find the 2 bedrooms on your right, at the quiet rear of the building. Both the immense living space and both bedrooms open onto the large terrace. To the left of the hallway is a useful cloakroom, guest toilet and extra bdk with shower. The master bedroom flows into the bathroom with bath and walk-in shower via a nicely fitted dressing room. Here you also have a separate toilet.

Stately, luxurious, top notch finish and an abundance of space: that describes this property in a nutshell. Add the large, sunny terrace - an oasis of calm - and you have a home without equal. The gigantic living space, the stylish and practical kkn, the ceilings over 4 metres high, the elegant parquet floor... Every feature here breathes class and history. Completely renovated and very well maintained.

Garage box (to be purchased separately at €45,000) under the building, also useful for bikes!

owner speaks out

Residential living in the middle of the city: here it is possible, in this beautiful, historic office building that used to house the Agence Maritime International.

You can clearly see from the gorgeous floors that there was absolutely no skimping on solid materials in those days. Or take the old mahogany doors... Gorgeous, right? Naturally, we recovered them during the renovation: they are now used in the dressing room. Throughout the apartment, this prestigious feeling from days gone by still radiates.

Not many people can say they live in such a chunk of lively, Antwerp seafaring history!
