Description

The classy Leopoldstraat, lively Vogeltjesmarkt, shops, theatres, restaurants, the Leien, railway station...: here you are close to everything you need in all directions.

That this used to be a girls' orphanage can be seen, among other things, in the courtyard of neo-Gothic 'Institute Mère Jeanne', drawn: arch Ernest Pelgrims, 1893. Lively playground over a century ago, now peaceful courtyard with charming gardens and terraces. The whole structure breathes quite a bit of Antwerp history. After a V-bomb in WWII, the orphanage was given a second life. Recently it was restored into a stylish residential complex.

You reach the loft by stairs or lift. The eye-catcher in the living space is the huge batch of sliding windows with the sublime, south-facing terrace behind them. Cosily enclosed but not enclosed: daylight pours in thanks to the unobstructed view of the courtyard garden. High-quality finishes throughout, kitchen with SMEG appliances, spacious living space with underfloor heating...

Here you will also find 2 cubes: one a generous bdk with bath and walk-in shower, the other a handy storage room. Behind it, the 1st bedroom. The interior staircase to the top floor leads to the spacious dressing room and 2nd bdrm. Cherry on the cake: the magnificent multipurpose room with robust wooden beams. This open-plan mansard room offers a wealth of mglh: 3rd bedroom, workshop, billiard room, relaxation area... In short, a modern place where the past and the city are never far away.

Possibility to buy 2 pitches at €35,000 each.
