Description

Artistic and recently renovated flat in "Etablissements Carlier", a unique complex in art deco style and modernism designed by architect Alfons Van Braeke.

Located on the corner of the Meir bridge. Two minutes' walk for your daily shopping at delicatessen "Cru", near the cosy shopping streets of the Wild Sea, an aperitif at the Matterhorn, a waffle at Desiré de Lille, a french fry at Sergio, it's all possible "à pied" here.

The flat itself was painstakingly and lovingly restored in 2018 by architect and owner, Luk Poelmans. The character of the flat was kept. The techniques and facilities were modernised. Upon entering, you immediately find a pleasantly large cloakroom. You then enjoy an ensuite dining room and lounge with cosy bay window and fantastic views of the Boerentoren. Black industrial spiral radiators add an artistic touch to the apartment, as do the black cover plates of the light switches, black door handles and black herringbone parquet.

The new kitchen begs for guests and the preparation of blissful dinner parties. Glazed white tiles as splashbacks, designer tiles on the floor, appliances by Siemens. The terrace invites for a romantic tête-à-tête with the city as scenery in the background. You can easily fit a small table with two chairs on it. The flat's wide corridor is a bliss for art and trinkets. The master bedroom is spacious and boasts a full wall of fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is smaller, but certainly big enough for a single bed, a desk and wardrobe. The bathroom is modern and features a spacious walk-in shower.

Furthermore, you have a handy bike shed in the building and also own a private cellar.

Ideal flat for the artsy city lover. Don't hesitate, just contact us.

owner speaks out

The original art-deco character with modernist traits was revived by our dad. The original art-deco elements were renovated and complemented in the same style. New elements were added as contemporary style fragments with a nod to the modernism so loved by dad. Through a double entrance shaft you walk through "my art gallery", as dad called it: a high, wide and well-lit corridor that gives access to a completely open plan. Non-functional interior walls were removed to enhance the loft feel. Bold choices in line with the great predecessors were made by, for example, painting the existing parquet black. The heating elements and door handles harkened back to the heyday of Bauhaus. The icing on the cake is the terrace that offers a magnificent view of Antwerp city centre, including Renaat Braem's "Oudaan" police tower and St Andrew's Church. Too bad dad didn't get enough time to enjoy his pride, but we hope the next owner will embrace this property with the same enthusiasm.
