Description

Sources speak of the 'Vrouwenstraetje' since 1631, officially Onze-Lieve-Vrouwstraat since 1898. In the Donk district, one of the quietest places in Ekeren, 1 minute on foot from Ekeren station, 10 minutes by train to Antwerp Central, close to shops, restaurants, public transport and schools.

In this stunning 'Villa Robert', it's like stepping back into the year 1895, but with all the comfort and luxury of today. Between 2002 and 2020, this eclectic family home was gradually renovated in collaboration with interior architect Lie Ulenaers. Lie Ulenaers.

Hall with cloakroom. Basement with cosy bar/sitting area - ideal site for a party, with all your wines within easy reach in the wine cellar with built-in wine coolers. Practical laundry room (with linen shaft!/with laundry boiler!), toilet and multi-purpose room, now mini gym.

Lovely sitting room with fireplace and separate TV room for an evening of binge-watching. Cosy living kitchen - gas fireplace and lovely garden views included. Pleasantly warm underfloor heating throughout. Gigantic garden - or rather orchard? - with apple, cherry, plum and pear trees and robotic mower, tennis wall, garden shed and garage on the left.

At +1 the parental paradise: office, master bedroom and sublime en suite bathroom with dressing room. At +2 the 3 children's bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, office and superb

bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. Extremely convenient central vacuum system throughout the house: no more lugging a heavy hoover around! Aesthetics and comfort clearly go hand in hand here.

owner speaks out

'We bought the villa in 2002 and we lovingly renovated everything to make this beautiful house a real home. The first renovation took a year and a half, and the children's rooms got another makeover in 2017. Basically, this is a new build in a centuries-old, historic building. For us, that's the ideal combo. Parties for the kids in the basement, lovely times in the garden, or taking it easy on 'our' parents' floor.... This really is one of those warm family homes. Its location, close to the train station, also makes the house super convenient as a base, both for us, the children, and for those who want to set up their practice or office here.'
