Description

Lively neighbourhood in the beating heart of the city, a stone's throw from Central Station, Rooseveltplaats and the Meir.

2 storeys high in the rear of a former warehouse. A Portuguese bakery resides below. Through a wide corridor (also bicycle shed), the smell of fresh bread wafts towards you. Step a little further and you reach the rear building, built in the 1960s.

In 2015, this penthouse was completely renovated with very great attention to detail: every spot was used to its full potential. Solid oak parquet of 22 mm, extra roof insulation, renewed electricity - everything was thought of.

Well hidden under the roof, it is very peaceful living. Moreover, you enjoy a lot of light thanks to the velux windows. Privacy: 100, view: 0. The living space has a beautiful ceiling with beams 4.8 m (!) high. The robust, original cog gives the appt even more authenticity.

The beautiful kitchen was custom-made. Countertop in concrete cire, handy drawers, workspace in abundance, quality appliances ... This is where every chef gets his heart's content.
Between living space and bathroom and bedroom: a sea of cupboards. Storage space, dressing room, built-in washing machines ... You will also find extra storage space at the top of the cosy rear bedroom. The spacious bathroom is always a delight: natural light, a blissful Jacuzzi bath and a generous rain shower. Even under the bath there are large drawers to store things.

Small building with no lift, so very low fixed costs.

Parking can be taken over @100€/month.

owner speaks out

Blessed how much privacy we have here. It really makes this place our secret hideaway. There is a great sense of security here. Moreover, everything here is exactly how we like it. Our hobbyhorse? Cupboards, cupboards, cupboards! We use every nook, cranny, corner and bar for storage. We also incredibly love to cook; that's why we made the kitchen the centrepiece of the apartment. Countless are the moments when we cozied up with friends around the kitchen counter to enjoy a snack and a drink, enjoying all the space and the incoming light. For us, this is the perfect cocoon of tranquillity in the middle of the city's bustling life.
