Description

Quietly and discreetly situated behind an unassuming gate in Antwerp North. A surprisingly peaceful and private spot right in the heart of the city, with all amenities, shops and transport links within easy reach. What’s more, the property is located close to the Stuivenberg site, a rapidly evolving neighbourhood with plans for future green spaces and urban development in the medium term — an added bonus for those who think ahead.

This exceptional property is a former diamond cutting workshop dating from around the turn of the century, circa 1900, a time when Antwerp was emerging as the world centre of diamond processing. The property combines a residential area in a neo-classical style with a working area in an industrial-functionalist style — a unique symbiosis of living and working.

The residential area has been fully and impeccably renovated with respect for authentic features and patina. The light-filled rooms, warm parquet floors and colourful stained-glass windows create a pleasant living environment full of character. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality appliances and offers plenty of worktop and cupboard space — ideal for those who love to cook and entertain.

On the second floor, there are several light-filled bedrooms. The bathroom is stylishly finished in traditional terrazzo with a vanity unit and a spacious walk-in shower.

The workspace has been stripped back and renovated, offering unprecedented possibilities: from an art studio to a co-working space, from a creative studio to a craft workshop.

An added bonus is the provision of several indoor parking spaces
