Huis for sale in Antwerpen

In the middle of the historic centre of Antwerp, in the charming and iconic Keizerstraat, this staircase façade is protected as a monument. Very central near the Meir, the Grand Place and the Our Lady Cathedral.

The street is one of the oldest in the city and owes its stately character to the patrician families who lived there from the 16th and 17th centuries .

The characteristic staircase facades along the street date mostly from the second half of the sixteenth century, with subsequent renovations in the seventeenth century. The property at number 36, together with the adjacent number 34, is part of this protected heritage.

The barren staircase facade, with its stepped silhouette, small jumping window openings and decorative wall anchors, is a beautifully preserved example of Antwerp's civil house architecture.

Behind the front door welcomes an entrance hall with original terracotta floor tiles, where the visible old wooden beams immediately show the authentic soul of the house. A real eye-catcher is the library: a bright space with an impressive book wall furnished against the ceiling, a desk area and French doors leading to the garden, an ideal place to read, work or just enjoy the peace. A surprisingly green, with ivy bordered city garden with ponds and a cozy seating area are an extension of the ground floor a real oasis in the middle of the city.

Throughout the entire house authentic wooden beam ceilings determine the atmosphere. The spacious living room combines a nice ceiling height with plenty of light and offers space to a spacious seating area. Then lies the dining room, also under a beamed ceiling, with a view to the kitchen and a second terrace, overlooking the historic roofs of the city centre of Antwerp.

On the top floor of the house are two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom.

An absolute asset of this house is the impressive basement with tongue vaults that goes back to the 13th century. The rough, limed walls, the vaulted ceilings and the old stone steps breathe centuries-old history and form a unique, atmospheric space perfect as a wine cellar or special storage space.

A rare opportunity to live in a living piece of city history, with all the charm of the past and all the assets of the bustling center within easy reach.
