Description

Prestigious duplex penthouse

On Van Putlei, an elite and residential location on the southern edge of the city. Close to the approach roads, within cycling distance of the city centre and close to parks such as Den Brandt and Middelheim Park.

An elegant apartment building in beaux-arts style of 1937 by analogy with traditional London apartment buildings. Red brick incorporated with natural stone, baroque framing of the central entrance porch, wooden windows with subdivision stained glass and a beautiful wrought-iron front garden gate.

The standing character of the flat is evidenced by its generous dimensions.

From the central stairwell with lift, an antichamber gives access to the living spaces, which consist of a hall and a continuous suite of lounge and dining room. Separated by a night hall, the ground-floor flat comprises two bedrooms and a bdk. To the rear, the kitchen is grouped with an office and an outdoor terrace.

On the first floor is a huge space covering the entire surface of the floor with lounge with gas fireplace, open bedroom, dressing room and spacious bdk. Adjacent is a second terrace. The space lends itself perfectly as a master bedroom, large workspace or spacious playroom for children.

Stately apartment on an absolute TOP location.

Possibility to buy a garage box at 35,000 euros.

owner speaks out

The Van Putlei was laid out in 1904 as part of a new subdivision. The aim was to create a distinguished residential district intended for the upper middle class. The 'roundabout' at the intersection of Bosmanslei and Van Putlei formed the centre of the new district.

Residents of the street included businessmen and company executives. Residents included those from the maritime sector, bankers, consuls, magistrates and senior military officers, as well as the usual pensioners. A separate category were the artists who settled in the district, including painters, musicians as well as literary artists.

The street is named after Jozef Cornelis Van Put, mayor of Antwerp from 1863 to 1872.

The buildings consist of distinguished middle-class houses, interspersed with spacious semi-detached town houses. In character, the streetscape is largely determined by the eclectic style, inspired by the French classicism, Louis XIV or régence style.
