Description

Close to approach roads, shops, schools, the centre of Antwerp, Wilrijk and Mortsel, the greenery of Fort IV and V and Middelheim.

For Résidence Elsdonck, Léon Stynen was inspired in 1925 by the World Exhibition in Paris, where he became intrigued by the ideas of Le Corbusier. Stynen came up with a plan that was revolutionary for its time: living high up; shops on the ground floor; large, green, communal spaces and maximum sunlight in the flats. Anno 2026, the handsome, authentic building still stands out in the street scene.

A lift takes you to the only flat on the top floor, so privacy is assured. It was renovated with love for authenticity as well as today's comfort and unlimited luxury. The windows all around bathe this place in sunlight.

Entrance hall with sink in original travertine. Beautiful herringbone parquet flooring and home automation throughout. Cosy lounge with TV corner and plenty of room for another desk. Adjacent is the gigantic roof terrace, with sun all day and a beautiful view of the communal garden. La dolce vita...

Huge luxurious bespoke kitchen, with everything a top chef needs: oven, microwave, induction cooker, built-in fryer, teppanyaki... You name it. All rooms are interconnected so even while cooking you can entertain your guests. Attached to the apartment is another super handy storage room for washing machines, extra fridge and lots of stuff.

Quiet, sunny master bedroom. The 2nd bedroom is now a dressing room, guest room and desk-in-one. Tasteful mosaic bathroom with large bathtub and generous walk-in shower: your own mini-spa.

Additional benefits: the apartment is equipped with air conditioning, the façade was recently restored, and the roof was insulated. Finally, there is a bicycle storage area and a private cellar.

Rare opportunity to live in a listed modernist monument by Léon Stynen - fantastic roof terrace included.
