Description

Super central in the middle of the Leien, across the National Bank and right between City Park and Theatre Square. Public transport all around and even by car you are right out of town. Saturday to the exotic market and Sunday to the Vogeltjesmarkt, shopping on Meir and Schuttershofstraat or catch a museum? You have a front-row seat everywhere.

The modernist Residence Albert I dates back to 1937 and you notice this in every detail: in the imposing entrance hall, authentic lift and inside the flat it seems as if you have stepped back in time. The original grandeur is striking from the very first moment: beautifully preserved herringbone parquet flooring, sublime stained-glass windows, the original cubex kitchen, mirrors with a fantastic patina... The flat needs complete renovation but has absolute pearl potential.

From the king-size living space you enjoy unparalleled views over Antwerp, Cathedral and Boerentoren included, as you are on the 7th and highest floor (on the 8th floor only mansard rooms). An evening lounging on the couch or a sumptuous dinner - here you have space à volonté.

Guest cloakroom and separate toilet in the wide entrance hall. From the authentic kitchen, where the cubex cabinets catapult you back in time, you have access to the indoor terrace. The nighthall leads to the bedrooms and bathrooms: a lovely maid's room or office space, shower room, 2 spacious bedrooms (one with ensuite dressing room) with super-vintage bathroom, accessible from 2 sides. Extra convenient: the many built-in wardrobes.

Possibility to purchase parking space across the road at €35,000.

Whoever renovates this thoroughbred city flat with great potential will have an absolute gem in their hands.
