Description

- IN OPTION - Quiet side street of Mediaplein - close to downtown, Central Station, Kleinblatt bakery and Aldo bakery, Roma, City Park and hip Zurenborg. This neighbourhood breathes atmosphere and culture.

Former cigarette factory Araks from 1913, designed by engineer-architect Maksoud Mihrtadiantz, transformed into a loft complex with entrances on both Wipstraat and Plantin-Moretuslei. Breathtaking entrance hall with plenty of glass and light - a stunning conservatory feel.

A lift takes you to the 3rd floor. Inside, the high ceilings, large windows and spacious living space of almost 100 m2 give you the real loft feeling. In the open kitchen with dark granite worktop and sleek wall units, it's blissful aperitifs while you relax cooking on the large gas fire. Next to the kitchen is a storage room with plumbing for a washing machine and dryer.

Flop down in your gigazette after a busy working day? Check! As a bonus, there is the mezzanine, ideal as a desk space or storage area. The flat houses 2 full-size bedrooms, with a handy mezzanine in the master bedroom too. Adjacent is the walk-in dressing room and beautiful bathroom with timeless metro tiles, shower, toilet and washbasin. A 2nd bathroom is possible. Currently this extra space is used as storage, but washbasin and pipes are present.

Last but not least some practical troeven: bike storage, car parking space (to be purchased @ 30,000 euros) and basement.
Still on the cards: converting the gigantic roof into a communal roof terrace - dizzying views included.

This all-in-one package combines everything you need: prime location and loft feel, authentic elements and modern finishes, light and space.
Original home for owners who like to combine the big city life with aesthetics and history.

owner speaks out

We instantly fell in love with the spacious living space and open kitchen of this beautiful loft. The location is also fantastic. You're close to everything here: in just a few minutes you're sitting on a terrace on the Dageraadplaats or taking the train at Central Station. The fine contact with the fellow residents in this loft complex also provided countless beautiful moments. Warm memories that will forever move with us ...
