Twenty beautiful years we spent with pleasure in this lovely house. The magnificent façade charmed us from the start; we did everything possible to preserve its authenticity. Even after the necessary adaptations, the character of the house remained intact.
The spacious, smart layout of the house also fully met our needs. The basement, which we used as a multi-purpose room, turned out to be a great added value for us. Over the years, that space has already been used for different purposes, which was very handy. The four rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors also each had their own purpose and character. What they all have in common is that each room is blissfully quiet. Thanks to the transverse positioning of the staircase, you can enjoy the entire width of the house in the living room and the lovely little city garden is the place to be on sunny days.
We think Jan Blockxstraat is one of the nicest and quietest streets in town, a street where all the neighbours still know each other and everyone keeps an eye on each other in a very relaxed way. From here you can also go shopping, take a walk in the nearby park or go to the arterial roads. To the centre of Antwerp, we always go on foot or by bike. So we leave this place with mixed feelings, and with many good memories.
