A preserved townhouse with a patio and a roof terrace Nikkelstraat 53, 2060 Antwerpen

—Ref. 7649618

From here, you can easily reach Park Spoor Noord – one of the largest green oases in Antwerp –, the Eilandje, the Art Deco swimming pool on Veldstraat, and the city centre. At the same time, this is a quiet street with lots of young families, and it also boasts an excellent transport score, as public transport, wide cycle paths and the ring road are all within easy reach.

A classic townhouse as it should be: authentic details, high ceilings and doors, beautifully sanded wooden floors, elegant stained-glass windows, a stately entrance hall with stunning tiles, marble fireplaces, mouldings and an elegant, whitewashed staircase.

Living room with a white marble fireplace and parquet flooring; the dining area and, at the rear, beneath the original skylight, the smart kitchen (induction hob, oven, dishwasher) with a storage room and guest toilet. Thanks to the lush fig tree and grapevine, the adjoining city garden has a delightful southern feel. Spacious cellar.

Mezzanine floor with a utility room and a first bathroom, which could do with a bit of a refresh (currently not in use). A few steps up to the +1 level lead to the first bedroom and a passageway to the second, enormous bedroom. On the next mezzanine level: a second bathroom with a bath, shower, toilet, washbasin and, here too, stained-glass windows. On the +2 level, you’ll find a third bedroom and also the fourth – another very large and light-filled bedroom with an elegant fireplace. Finally, on the third floor, there is a surprisingly large attic room with a mezzanine – ideal as an extra sitting area, study, hobby room or (guest) bedroom. As the perfect icing on the cake, there is also a lovely south-facing roof terrace.
