Description

Welcome to a lively and centrally located neighbourhood with everything within easy reach. Lange Leemstraat forms a dynamic thoroughfare towards the city centre, with shops, restaurants, numerous schools and public transport all within walking distance. At the same time, Zurenborg and Groen Kwartier are nearby, where you can enjoy a more residential atmosphere, beautiful architecture and plenty of green spaces.

Some houses whisper, others tell stories. This stately 19th-century townhouse, on the border of Zurenborg and Groen Kwartier, undoubtedly does the latter. Behind the wide façade unfolds a world of high ceilings, elegant mouldings and authentic features: a place where the past remains palpable whilst making room for new ideas. Inside, there is a special atmosphere: calm and almost still, yet with an underlying energy that stimulates the imagination.

On the ground floor, an almost theatrical setting unfolds where the spaces flow into one another. The living area with its fireplace leads into a dining room, and then suddenly that conservatory with its terrazzo floor, where light floods in and the garden comes into view. The kitchen lies next to it, half-open and inviting.

Floor by floor, the house continues to reveal itself: a spacious office area, bedrooms, bathrooms and even more rooms waiting to be given a new purpose. A workshop, a studio, family life or working under one roof: it’s all possible here.

And then there’s the garden: sunny and green, with an old silver lime tree at the back, like a peaceful haven in the city. A house with character, with history, and above all with endless possibilities. Finally, you can rent a parking space across the street.

The owners,

owner speaks out

It was the long, hot summer of 1976. Young, a touch reckless and living in a modest ground-floor flat in Antwerp’s Zuid district – which was nowhere near as popular then as it is today – we set out in search of more space. We found it in a large 19th-century townhouse, which we fell in love with at first sight. It was the slightly overgrown city garden, with an old silver lime tree at the back, that particularly stayed with us. At the time, the house was divided into three flats, not all of which we were even able to view. But what we did see was enough. We bought it that very same day: perhaps a little impulsively, but without ever regretting it for a moment. The high ceilings, the spacious rooms and the house’s unique energy have always enchanted us. The neighbourhood grew alongside us too, becoming livelier and gaining a fresh, vibrant energy with the Groen Kwartier. Today, the house has become a little too big for us. Time to say goodbye. We’ve come full circle, as we’re returning to a flat in the Zuid, once again all on one level. We’ve cherished this house with care, and we hope the next residents will share that same sense of its soul.
