Description

On the border between Antwerp and Borgerhout, floating high above the bustling streets and surrounded by everything this neighbourhood has to offer: shops, Central Station, tram, bus, cafés, Krugerplein and Moorkensplein... Here, you can do everything on foot. The holiday feeling comes free of charge.

This Art Deco building by architect Victor Gorlé, business partner of Léon Stynen, is the real deal. Authentic wrought iron lift, cast iron heating elements, lots of light, stunning herringbone parquet flooring... It's like stepping into a film set from the 1930s.

The fifth-floor roof apartment has been carefully transformed into a stunning penthouse. Owners Thomas and Babs van Karuur Architecten have turned it into a unique architectural gem for themselves. Thanks to a timeless and high-quality renovation, you now have no less than 173 m² of living space and three terraces.

The penthouse consists of two floors. On the lower floor, there are two bedrooms, one bathroom, a fully equipped timeless kitchen and an exceptionally spacious living area with lots of light, views and terraces on both sides.

In 2011, a light-filled superstructure was added to the already spectacular roof apartment. This contains a bedroom, bathroom, living space or office and a huge roof terrace. Everything is possible here, in 100% privacy.

Location

Subliem penthouse met 360° vergezichten over Antwerpen
Living here is like stepping into a sea of tranquillity. You are almost literally up in the clouds.
Thomas & Babs,

owner speaks out

Everything about this flat appealed to us immediately. The spacious living room, the many art deco elements, the stately building. And nothing beats the panoramic 360° views over Antwerp.

Since the addition of an extra floor, the experience has only become more beautiful. A new construction project with the Karuur stamp. We are even higher up, have an even more open view, including the beautiful station hall, but privacy remains maximum.

Living here is like stepping into a sea of tranquillity. You are almost literally up in the clouds. Our favourite spot in the house is the living room, the heart of the flat. Lots of views, but still cosy. Of course, the large terrace upstairs is also a joint favourite. It is versatile and has already survived many wonderful parties.

The location is also excellent. You don't have to go far to get to your favourite places. For us, the list is almost endless: Mombasa, Bar Bakeliet, Beerlovers Bar, Plaza Real, Bar Chapel, Briquet, GlouGlou, Bar Luca, Graan... you name it. As music lovers, we were also lucky to live close to the Elisabethzaal, Roma, Trix and the Sportpaleis.
