Description

The Lange Nieuwstraat has recently been completely revamped. This entire neighbourhood has undergone major redevelopment in recent years. The result is already wonderful, with more greenery, cycle paths and fewer cars - an effect that will only increase in the coming years. Furthermore, there are also lots of nice addresses, shops and cultural houses - a golden location.

Behind the handsome facade of mansion ‘den Branthaeck’, originally built in 1757 in Louis XV style by damsel Joanna Theresia Goubau and her husband, English esquire and businessman James Dormer. Goubau descended from a knighted Antwerp family of silk merchants, large landowners and magistrates.
Recently, this facade is part of a renovation and new construction project. Behind the beautifully preserved facade is the courtyard garden, where you immediately feel the tranquillity. At the back, in a building from the 1980s, is this loft apartment on the fourth floor.

Immediately on the right is a nicely concealed toilet, laundry and storage room. To the left you head towards the air-conditioned bedroom, modern, open-plan bathroom and - like everywhere else in this apartment - lots of built-in cupboards, handy. Handsome living space with open kitchen, where the countertop with travertine bar provides a touch of class and on the cosy terrace you can enjoy the evening sun with a view of the Lange Klarenstraat. The open spaces feel spacious thanks to the cast floor that continues throughout the flat. Both bathroom and kitchen were only renovated in 2021.
