Description

Lively Borgerhout: culture in Roma, lunch on Moorkensplein, shopping on the colourful Turnhoutsebaan, a drink on Krugerplein or the Laar... Surrounded by artists, actors and musicians. To Central Station, Park Spoor Noord, Rivierenhof, city centre? You can reach it in minutes.

Sunny loft on the 3rd floor of 'den Martougin', the Borgerhout chocolate factory, renovated into a loft complex.

Here you will enjoy a comfortable indoor climate thanks to the loam walls and unique oiled, log floor with underfloor heating. Ceilings of 3.20 metres provide a pleasant, spacious feeling. The loft was deliberately decorated with ecological and natural materials, hence the exceptionally low EPC of 109!

Large, bright living space with open kitchen (appliances, 5-burner cooker...), bdk with shower, toilet and washbasin, 2 spacious and 1 smaller bdrm. Do you opt for 1 master bedroom and a 'children's quarter' with separate bdrm and playroom or for a practice, office or hobby room? Next to the loft a handy storage room or laundry room. Private storage in the basement, communal bike storage.

On the quiet, south-west facing terrace with wide views, enjoy the sunset over the city. The terrace runs the full width of the loft. Furthermore, den Martougin has a large, green inner garden of 200 m2.

Possibility to buy a car parking space: €25,000

Gardening on the quiet terrace overlooking the sunset: very soothing
Kaat, the owner

owner speaks out

My favourite part of the loft - the terrace! This is where I enjoy gardening: growing plants, taking cuttings, taking care of them... Very relaxing. Actually, every spot in this house just makes me happy. I also like the fact that everything here is so energy-friendly. Even the hot water for the washing machine comes from solar panels on the roof.

I have my practice in the front part of the house. I conveniently close off the practice room with a curtain. That way I can work from home while still maintaining more than enough privacy for the living area. But you could just as easily set up a bedroom with desk and dressing room here. That's the nice thing about this ecoloft: you can still do anything with it.
