Description

In a Prime Location in the Historic Heart of Antwerp, in a Newly Renovated Street

"Spacious" is an understatement for this 279 m² apartment. The setting: the historic Savelkoul building, home to Grands Magasins de Vêtements pour Hommes H. Savelkoul & Co. since 1892. The complex was built and expanded in two phases around World War I, featuring both Beaux-Arts and Art Deco architectural styles.

The beautifully restored façade, impressive wide entrance hall, and authentic elevator set the tone for the rest of the building. Where once stood two separate apartments, you now find one magnificent living space, previously used as an office by the current owners.

Located on the third floor, the apartment faces the front of the building. From the hallway, you immediately catch a glimpse of the stunning inner courtyard, showcasing the original terracotta and cream-colored brickwork.

The wide entrance hall is perfect for displaying artwork or other statement pieces. The XL living room, flooded with natural light, offers a breathtaking view of the Boerentoren. The spacious kitchen, with its large island, is ideal for hosting a perfect aperitif.

At the rear, you will find two bedrooms, each with its own private shower room, along with the expansive master suite, featuring built-in wardrobes and a charming bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower.

A separate storage/laundry room adds convenience.
A parking space is available for purchase in the building.

Finally, adding a terrace is also a possibility.

Giga appartement in historisch gebouw Savelkoul
"The history of this building sparks the imagination. Its authentic character, the grandeur of the entrance hall, the exceptionally wide marble staircase... And the warm, homely atmosphere among the residents is the icing on the cake."
De eigenaar,

owner speaks out

"We bought this apartment in 2009 on a whim, and we haven't regretted it for a second. We've always loved spending time here. For years, we ran our PR agency from this space, with our showroom on the ground floor of the same building – very convenient. When we heard that an apartment was becoming available here, we didn't hesitate. After a short tour, we decided on the spot to buy it. Since this apartment is so spacious, we immediately saw the potential to use it for our office as well, accommodating our team of about ten people. In the meantime, our office has been sold, and since we still live surrounded by greenery, we've now decided to sell this apartment. With a heavy heart, because it’s a fantastic place, bathed in natural light both at the front and the back. Instant summer vibes guaranteed! The history of this building sparks the imagination… The authentic character, the grandeur of the entrance hall, the exceptionally wide marble staircase. And the warm, homely atmosphere among the residents is the icing on the cake. They all take great pride in maintaining the building as best as possible. Here, neighbors are definitely not strangers to one another. With its exceptionally large surface area, the possibilities for interior design are endless. Anyone looking to transition from a house to an apartment will have no trouble fitting all their furniture here. Plus, it’s a dream apartment for those who work from home!"
