Description

Opposite Borgerhout's landmark, St John's Church or ‘de Peperbus’, which is currently being restored. The street is quiet, with nice neighbours and pleasant street parties. Around the corner, lively Krugerplein and Bar Leon beckon. Other hip bars, restaurants and lunch bars, art galleries, shops, ..., what is called BOHO here, also characterise the diverse neighbourhood. And you are also in the Roma, at Moorkensplein, Dageraadplaats and Central Station in a finger snap.

Built as the doctor's house of Borgerhout in the late nineteenth century. So think of a stately mansion, and chances are you will see a home like this one before your eyes: majestic, brimming with authentic elements and with an insane stained-glass dome like you rarely see. With 420m2 of living space, you have all the space you need here to make your plans come true, while the considerable gable width ensures extra light.

The impressive, high hall with beautiful murals and floor tiles (from the opposite church), extends all the way to the large, lush garden. On the left is the attached, three-part living space - moulures, high ceilings, marble decorative fireplaces, parquet floors, authentic mirrors and doors with fire-glass windows, ... you name it - with the magnificent glass dome at the back and blissful views of the garden. On the other side of the hall: the spacious living kitchen with all the appliances you need. Thanks to the L-shape of the house, you have a magnificent rear façade width of over 15 metres here. Giga basement.

On the first floor: three XXL bedrooms and bathroom (to refresh). On the second floor another two very large bedrooms and then there is the icing on this already amazing cake: the brand new, tiptop renovated studio on the third floor, now hip AirBnb with stylish kitchen, bathroom and cosy terrace.

The owners,

owner speaks out

What immediately attracted us was the charm of the house. The high ceilings, original wooden floors and authentic details always gave us a sense of character. After 35 wonderful years, our son and daughters are out of the house and we are looking forward to a new chapter in a smaller home.
