Description

The coveted Tentoonstellingswijk is easily accessible, close to the city and three parks Den Brandt, Middelheim and Nachtegalenpark. Across the road are sports fields, a little further on Antwerp Expo and deSingel.

Villa Matthys was designed by architect Gerard Traets in 1932. The cottage is his interpretation of an urban country house, based on the chic Old English style.

Royal entrance hall with stately wooden staircase, natural stone floors in a checkerboard pattern and original panelling: the atmosphere of a country house as seen on the BBC.

The beautiful living room is also full of authenticity: wooden beams, original herringbone parquet, round arches, panelling, the original fireplace... The cosy bay window with garden view begs for a cosy dinner by the gas fireplace. The lush garden (SW) is your lovely green oasis of calm.

Sunny, yellow kitchen, completely renovated in 2017: new kitchen to Cubex model, top-quality appliances and the still original floors. An instant happy place. Handy extra utility room at the back, impressive wine cellar, garage and driveway.

Master bedroom with classy hotel vibes on the 1st floor. Spacious bedroom with adjoining lounge and giga dressing room. Further on: the 1st bathroom with large walk-in shower. The separate office with garden view is a dream spot for your home office. Need more bedrooms? You can easily split the rooms again.

The 2nd floor: 1 spacious bedroom and 2nd huge bathroom with fancy built-in bathtub.

Recent roof renovation (2015) and new HR heating system.

owner speaks out

It was an honour to live here. The neighbourhood is very pleasant and nice, with lots of nice, welcoming people. You also immediately feel that this is a home with a soul. The spaces are fantastic, the original and authentic elements endless and to top it all off, the lovely garden with lots of privacy. This is one of those rare ideal combinations you can usually only dream of....
