Description

This village in the heart of the city centre is a wonderful place to live. Boring weekends? Not here. Enjoy browsing at the weekly flea market next door on Sundays, brunching and lunching, visiting a museum or cinema, or getting some fresh air on the Scheldt or Linkeroever... It's hard to choose! Want to get out of the city quickly? That's easy too via the Kaaien.

In 1899, this imposing warehouse, 1899, the original Entrepôt du Congo, was built on the corner of Sint-Jansvliet and Plantinkaai. Today, the bohemian loft on the second floor could become your new home base. The view from the front is enough to make anyone jealous: you look out over the Sint-Anna pedestrian tunnel, an iconic example of Antwerp modernism from the interwar period. The panorama over the mighty Scheldt never gets boring either.

This loft consists of one large room with an open kitchen and three large windows that let in plenty of natural light, giving you every opportunity to furnish the property and make it your own. Will you keep its current function as a residence or transform it back into an office, which is what the loft was used for in the past?

The original beams are still visible in the attractive ceiling, and the beautiful wooden floors are also worth seeing. The bathroom is functional and in good condition, but could do with a refresh. At the rear is a spacious bedroom with plenty of built-in cupboards. Good to know: the windows were replaced in 2022, resulting in a favourable EPC B rating.
