Description

In option - Among the stately townhouses of the elegant Elisabethlaan, on the edge of the beloved Pulhof neighborhood, this super charming semi-detached home awaits—full of character and potential.
Within walking distance of Antwerp’s green lungs – Nachtegalenpark, Middelheim, and Den Brandt – and close to schools, public transport, major access roads, and Berchem station.

From the elegant ironwork and charming front garden to the authentic cottage-style façade and stunning stained-glass windows, you immediately sense that this 1927 home is truly unique.
Enter through the side entrance or the ornate front door into a spacious hallway. At the front: a cozy living room with original parquet flooring, stained-glass windows (double glazed), and a charming fireplace.

There’s a second side entrance to the separate kitchen—super handy for unloading groceries. The large dining room, also with parquet flooring and a fireplace, offers views and direct access to the sunny garden. Throw open the beautiful doors and you’re instantly outside—a romantic setting for garden parties with friends and family.
If desired, the kitchen and dining room could easily be combined into one generous open-plan kitchen with island.

A beautiful staircase leads to the first floor, featuring two spacious bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room, and plenty of storage. On the second floor: two more bedrooms and a storage area. From stained-glass to parquet, many original elements have been beautifully preserved here as well.
A dry cellar and a long side passage (perfect for bikes!) add the finishing touches to this exceptional home—ready to be refreshed to your own taste and modern standards.

Are you the one to take this beautiful, character-filled home to the next level?

owner speaks out

Thirty-four years ago, my husband and I were looking for a house just outside the city when we found this beautiful home full of character. The building gave us an instant feel-good sensation. We knew right away: this was it.
The layout of the different rooms feels very natural and harmonious, which also makes the whole space aesthetically very pleasing. The southwest-facing garden is a major asset as well.
From early spring to late autumn, we dine outside on the terrace with its charming old Dutch pavers.
We’ve had a wonderful time here, and I’m going to miss this place deeply.
