Description

In option - Whether you want to catch a train at Antwerp Central Station, go shopping on the Meir, enjoy a cosy restaurant, or soak up culture at the opera, cinema or one of the many nearby theatres — from here, almost everything is within walking distance. Trams and buses in all directions are also close by, as the Rooseveltplaats is just around the corner.

Located on the fifth and top floor of a stunning Art Deco apartment building, constructed between 1927 and 1928 by engineer Jan Karel Andersen, based on a design by architect Raymond Ceurvorst. From the impressive entrance hall, you can take the stairs or the ultra-cool, well-maintained lift with wrought-iron folding doors, seemingly straight out of a French film noir.

Plenty of authentic charm combined with contemporary comfort: the apartment was renovated in 2025 and now boasts an excellent EPC B rating. Some of the windows, the electrical installation and part of the heating system were renewed, along with new floors and refreshed kitchen and bathroom. Neat and well finished!

Thanks to the length of the apartment, both you and your guests are immediately impressed. At the front, the bright living room and sitting area offer sweeping views over the city centre. Stylish mouldings and matching radiator casings add character.

A long entrance hall hides a guest toilet, storage space and laundry area. At the rear, you’ll find the night hall with built-in wardrobes and two bedrooms. The marble bathroom completes the picture with a discreet sense of luxury.

The owner,

owner speaks out

We fell in love with Antwerp, and we already had family living near the apartment. The location therefore immediately appealed to us — right in the heart of the city, incredibly pleasant and convenient. When we also discovered the charm of the entrance hall and the super-cool, authentic lift in the building, we were instantly won over. Naturally, we renovated this beautiful apartment with great care and respect for the original character of the building.
