Description

Right in the beating heart of Antwerp, where history and the city’s energy blend seamlessly. Everything is within easy reach: from trendy coffee bars and restaurants to university campuses and shops. Yet it’s surprisingly peaceful here, with excellent transport links and public transport just around the corner. Behind a stately, wide façade lies a place you wouldn’t expect. As soon as you drive through the large entrance gate, a hidden world opens up: a spacious courtyard with room for ten cars — a rare luxury in the city.

Inside, you immediately sense the soul of the building. Authentic features such as an impressive staircase, a leaded-glass skylight, refined etchings and original parquet floors give the whole a unique, almost cinematic feel. The high ceilings and intricate coffered ceilings reinforce that sense of grandeur.

Number 58 combines space and flexibility. The ground floor and first floor offer a wealth of rooms, organised around a wide corridor. The first floor is accessed via the stately staircase or a spacious lift and comprises seven fully-fledged rooms. The central staircase, with its large table and glass features, feels like an inspiring hub — ideal for offices, co-living or a hybrid live-work concept. A large kitchen completes the picture.

The second floor takes the whole property to a whole new level. Here you’ll find a spacious loft-style home full of character: original parquet flooring, plenty of light and an open-plan feel. The layout comprises a generous living area, a large kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The internal terrace offers peace and privacy, whilst a second terrace leads off the master bedroom. An external staircase leads back down to the parking spaces.

Number 56 offers further possibilities. At the front is a commercial space, behind which are additional rooms and a staircase leading upstairs — perfect as the basis for a townhouse, studio or creative project.

owner speaks out

What makes this property so special is the contrast. From the street, you see a beautiful façade, but once you step inside, a completely different world opens up. The space, the tranquillity, the possibilities… It almost feels like a hidden haven in the city. For someone with vision, this is a place where you can really create something exceptional.”
