Description

In a highly sought-after neighbourhood in Antwerp's southern edge, on the corner of Meerlenlaan and Elsdonklaan. Quietly located near the greenery of Fort 5 and Middelheim Park and at the same time close to shops and schools. Access roads, the cycle highway and public transport are also within easy reach.

In 1936, architect Joseph Dewulf was commissioned by brother and sister Vallaeys to design two linked New Objectivity villas. Today, we are happy to present you the right-hand villa in semi-open construction, completely and sustainably renovated in 2019 by Julie2.

From the driveway, you already catch a glimpse of the recently landscaped garden, which continues in L-shape next to and behind the house. Nice feature: the red brick by the brand-new pool doubles as an extra bench by the flagstone terrace during an extended apero.

Sleek front door to the entrance hall with cloakroom and central staircase hall. Terrazzo, oak parquet, marble, underfloor heating on the ground floor, custom-made cupboards, dark bog oak wood... High-quality materials are clearly the common thread in this renovation.

The handsome lounge flows seamlessly into the dining room, where the sun shines through the large windows, even in winter. This is followed by the hyper-installed kitchen with cool island and sublime marble worktop. In the living room you will find a handy, compact office.

The 1st floor has 3 bedrooms, all on oak block parquet, and 2 stylish bathrooms. Practical, spacious basement with play/TV room, linen room, extra cloakroom, convenient garage and wine cellar.

A well located, future proof converted villa respecting the original architectural choices.

owner speaks out

When we saw this home in new business we were instantly in love. The clean, straight lines still look contemporary and timeless after almost a century - a true evergreen. The fact that we are architects and contractors ourselves helped us tremendously with the renovation. Together, we took a close look at every room and did each room justice. Of course, we kept the authentic elements and characteristics as much as possible. We also chose materials with that in mind: durable and contemporary, but always in line with the original soul and architectural style of the house.
