Description

The popular Pulhof neighbourhood: quiet, residential and with everything within easy reach: approach roads, Antwerp city centre within cycling or tram distance, three surrounding parks... A fantastic place to live!

This apartment building in brutalist style is an early design by architect Paul Meekels (1961). You step straight back into the sixties in the entrance hall, with its tuff wall covering, slate floor and handsome relief by sculptor Paul Claes.

This duplex extends over floors five and six (also the highest floor in this building). Lift to fifth floor with entrance hall, cloakroom and guest toilet. In the large living space, the different living functions are delineated with smart interventions and thoughtful choice of materials. Renovated, open kitchen with breakfast bar and dining area where six or eight of you can easily dine. Desk corner next door and sunlit lounge. Renewed valley tiles, wall panelling in wood, and mantelpiece in characteristic brick confirm the brutalist character. The icing on the cake, of course, is the terrace, with sun from afternoon until late at night, and fantastic views of greenery and clouds that never get boring.

Vintage spiral staircase to the bedroom floor, with typical 1960s built-in wardrobes on the landing. Two spacious bedrooms - one with fitted wardrobe and dressing table and one with en suite dressing room. Bathroom with space for washing machines.

EPC B, electricity compliant, new roof, double glazing: technically in good shape.

I have always found this a great flat, and you never get tired of this view. In the evening you can see all kinds of birds flying by in the orange sky - winter and summer you can enjoy the panorama to the full.
