Herenhuis for sale in Gent

In the Keizer Karelstraat, in a particularly central location in Ghent, is this exceptional duplex apartment of 229 m2, housed in a characterful mansion from the 19th century. A property where impressive volumes, authentic elements and a thorough renewal come together very nicely. The apartment extends over the ground floor and the sous-sol and has been thoroughly renewed over the past period. A completely new kitchen was installed, the bathroom was completely renovated, the authentic floors were carefully restored and the entire apartment was repainted. It was deliberately chosen to preserve the original character of the mansion. And that character is everywhere. High ceilings, authentic moles and rosettes, characterful fireplace elements, restored floors and large windows give the apartment a look that you simply cannot create in new buildings. The spacious open living and dining area forms the heart of the apartment. The large volumes and ceiling heights create an impressive sense of space. Then there is the renewed kitchen, from where you have direct access to one of the outdoor areas. On the sous-sol there are four separate bedrooms, the two rear of which offer access to a second outdoor space. In addition, there is the completely renewed bathroom. With its 4 to 5 possible bedrooms and 229 m2 of living space, this apartment offers exceptional space. Not only for a large family, but also for example for those who want to combine living and working. Cohousing is also possible. The apartment has a conformity certificate for up to 10 people. In addition, each bedroom already has water supply and drainage, which offers additional possibilities towards the future. The building itself also receives further attention: the renovation of the façade and the renovation of the common entrance hall are included in the selling price. As a result, not only the apartment itself, but also the appearance of the mansion is further upgraded. If you come by car, you also have the possibility to rent a parking space in the area. The location is also an important asset. The historic centre, shops, restaurants, schools and public transport are within walking and cycling distance. The nearby Reep and Portus Ganda belong to a particularly attractive piece of Ghent along the water. Moreover, this environment continues to evolve, including through the planned redevelopment of the Portus site, which will further upgrade this side of the city centre in the coming years. This is not a typical city apartment. It is a property for those looking for exceptional living space, authentic architecture and contemporary comfort in a central location in Ghent. With 229 m2, several bedrooms, two outdoor areas and a thorough renovation, this mansion apartment offers something that is increasingly difficult to find in Ghent city centre: space without having to give up character.
