Description

This house is one of the first designs by Jef Huygh, the Antwerp architect who designed several houses on Boekenberglei and lived there himself with his family. Close to the well-known natural swimming pond in the Boekenberg Park, cosy cafés and restaurants around the Te Boelaer Park and bakery/coffee bar Bloemberen, the perfect combo of green and city. The cosy little square with stately trees, in front of the house, completes this prime location.

The Art Deco house still retains many authentic elements from the 1920s, such as the original oak fireplace with wood-burning stove. Spacious entrance hall with original terrazzo-tiled floors and an ornate staircase.

Salon and dining room are separated by wide, wooden doors with cut glass. From the kitchen you enjoy winter and summer views of the garden, where it is blissful to sit. Enough space for playing children, garden campers, siestas in the shade, dinners on the terrace and plenty of privacy - what more could you want?

For each floor you have an intermediate room in this house. On the 1st floor, a phenomenal sun terrace was created on this mezzanine. The wrought-iron pergola and the view of the lime trees make it easy to imagine yourself in Italy... The master bedroom consists of a giga room on beautiful parquet flooring with an adjacent spacious en suite bathroom. On the 2nd floor, again with a mezzanine, you'll find 3 more spacious bedrooms with connecting

owner speaks out

We have so much love for this house, it was great to live here. As an eight-year-old girl, I walked past this house with my mum, and even then I said: 'This castle is where I want to live later.' And miraculously, so it happened.... In 1986, I was able to fulfil my childhood dream and we bought the house. Together with our two sons, we had a great time here. A school in the street, hobbies nearby, Te Boelaer Park and Boekenberg Park at a stone's throw and in front of the house a cosy tree-lined square that every year forms the backdrop for a wonderful autumn festival in the street... We couldn't dream ourselves a more beautiful place.
