Renovated home with garden near the former Abattoir site

Description

Eighteen years ago, the final animal was slaughtered at the Antwerp slaughterhouse. ‘Den Abattoir’ stood on the very same site for over a century, although its original buildings were replaced by modern slaughter halls long ago. Two sculpted bulls once guarded the entrance; they disappeared at the end of World War II and remain missing to this day. Today, the Slachthuissite is undergoing a total transformation into one of Antwerp’s vibrant new hotspots. This residence is a textbook reflection of that shift. Fully renovated in 2019, it has been completely tailored to contemporary living standards. The ground floor features a practical bicycle store at the front and a creative studio space at the rear. Taking a break is effortless in the lush, deep-green garden. This space could also be easily converted into an additional bedroom. On the first floor, the living area and kitchen merge into a single open-plan space framed by high timber ceilings and a striking steel load-bearing frame—a warm, timeless combination. With an elegant curtain, the open loft feel instantly shifts to the cozy intimacy of a classic townhouse. One floor up, you'll find the main bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The property is currently rented, making it an attractive, hassle-free investment. Having recently rented out a renovated home in the nearby Eendrachtstraat, we at Oh my George can confidently confirm that the neighbors are delightful. For those with bigger vision, there is also the option to acquire the home together with the rear building and the adjacent neighboring property.
