House for sale in Antwerpen

Unique mansion with south garden, swimming pond and versatile character in absolute prime location.

With great enthusiasm we present this exceptional mansion to the Flemish eagle, undoubtedly one of the most sought after locations in Antwerp-South. This spacious house in rich, picturesque neo-Flemish renaissance style was designed in 1879 by the renowned architect J.V. Delpierre on behalf of the Walloon baron de Senzeille. A real piece of Antwerp history, at the most beautiful corner of the popular Zuidpark and right in the heart of the most vibrant neighborhood. Yet behind the stately façade there is an oasis of silence and behind the electric gate a beautiful, relaxing garden where you immediately shake off the hustle and bustle of the city and immediately imagine in Provence.

The spacious ground floor with some original elements and high ceilings is licensed as a commercial space and currently designed as a gallery with mezzanine. In the back there is a recently renewed bathroom with shower, toilet and sink. This floor is therefore ideal as practical space, showroom and studio, or for specialists or professionals who want to combine living and working in a very commercial location.

A ceiling-high glass door opens on the unspoilt eye-catcher: the beautiful garden with swimming pond just not ten meters long. It's a biological swimming pond: So no chlorine or chemicals, but pure, delicious refreshing water. A rare asset at this location. Impossible to live both in the city and on the outside? Probably, although this is getting very close to that unique feeling.

The impressively spacious and high basement can act as storage, wine cellar, hobby room or practical storage. He currently serves as a magazine for books. In the back there is also a small kitchen with daylight, gas and water.

The authentic staircase breathes grandeur and elegance, while a second inner staircase connects the different living spaces and mezzanines. The first floor consists of two spacious desks with original oak floors, wooden doors and views of the garden or park. There is also a practical utility room and laundry room.

Both bedrooms on the second floor each breathe their own atmosphere. The master bedroom at the rear is very quiet, overlooks the garden, has air conditioning and a recently renovated ensuite bathroom with sink, toilet and a well accessible walk-in shower. The spacious bedroom in the front has an authentic oak floor and views of the Zuidpark. The connecting dressing bathes in beautiful sunlight thanks to the beautiful window pane. A house where you can enjoy both in front and in the back of trees, nature and happy singing birds: This remains extremely rare in the city.

The newly renovated, bright and fully isolated living area on the top floor has air conditioning and connects to the newly renovated kitchen. Thanks to a room-wide sliding door, living room and the pleasant south facing terrace seem to be one whole. The terrace bathes in peace and overlooks the horses on top of the KMSKA.

An additional level houses an extra desk or polyvalent space and a cozy, very quiet bedroom with additional bathroom.

The house features double glazing in hardwood window profiles and combines authentic charm with contemporary living comfort. This exceptional, very spacious property in an absolute top location in Antwerp-Zuid is especially flexible and therefore both interesting and investment or as a house. With its three boilers and three digital meters and many utilities, it can be divided relatively easily into apartments. It can also serve as guest rooms, wellness or for people with a free profession who want to combine living and working. Parking is not a problem. Right across the door lies under the park a giga parking garage with very advantageous conditions for residents.

A word from the owners: It is a wonderful house where we have been extremely happy for twelve years. You really live here as a god in France, when the neighborhood feels like a village. Unfortunately, we have to avoid health problems. Otherwise, we would never get rid of this gem. .
