5-bed house, Antwerp

From here, you can be in Park Spoor Noord and the Rivierenhof in no time. In recent years, this lively neighbourhood has gained a whole host of new hotspots: Café Commercial, Butchers Coffee, Bar Chapel, Veranda restaurant, and more. Buses, trams, Albert Heijn just round the corner and the ring road is within easy reach. A classic townhouse as it should be: high ceilings and doors, beautifully sanded wooden floors, elegant stained-glass windows, a stately entrance hall with stunning tiles, marble fireplaces, mouldings and a whitewashed staircase. Living room with a white marble fireplace and parquet flooring; the dining area and, at the rear, beneath the original skylight, the smart kitchen with a storage room and guest toilet. Thanks to the lush fig tree and grapevine, the adjoining city garden has a delightful southern feel. Spacious cellar. Mezzanine floor with a utility room and a first bathroom, which could do with a bit of a refresh. A few steps up to the +1 level lead to the first bedroom and a passageway to the second, enormous bedroom with airco. On the next mezzanine level: a second bathroom with a bath, shower, toilet, washbasin. On the +2 level, you’ll find a third bedroom and also the fourth – another very large and light-filled bedroom with airco. Finally, on the third floor, there is a surprisingly large attic room with a mezzanine – ideal as an extra sitting area, study, hobby room or (guest) bedroom. A lovely south-facing roof terrace.
