Artdeco home with authentic character & renovation potential Koninklijkelaan 1A, 2600 Berchem

—Ref. 7220979

Living near the sought-after Pulhof district in Berchem means coming home to a green, residential environment where tranquillity and accessibility blend effortlessly. This charming neighbourhood exudes authenticity and elegance. With the Nachtegalenpark, Middelheim Park and Park Den Brandt within walking distance, you can enjoy nature, art and relaxation every day. Here you will find the ideal balance between proximity to the city and the comfort of a peaceful residential area with a strong identity.

This stately 1929 Art Deco townhouse, designed by the rarely documented architect Emiel Janssens, radiates the refined elegance of the interwar period. The lush front garden, featuring a sculptural palm tree and a fiery Japanese maple, offers both privacy and a touch of exoticism.

Inside, the house unfolds around an impressive central staircase with a landing and overhead light — an architectural statement that defines the full width of the home. On the ground floor, you will find a study facing the street, an atmospheric dining room and a kitchen overlooking an intimate courtyard. One floor up, a warm and inviting living room with refined woodwork awaits, alongside a bedroom and bathroom. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, a second bathroom and a practical storage room.

The house enchants with its rich, intact details: elaborate ceiling mouldings, herringbone parquet, original wooden window frames and, of course, the monumental staircase. The full basement level adds generous storage or workspace.

Currently used as an office, the property can easily be reconverted into a charming 257 m² city home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, thanks to its preserved residential layout. While the house requires renovation, it offers exceptional potential for anyone wishing to finish a characterful property in their own style. A unique opportunity to transform an architectural Art Deco gem in a prime location near parks and major access roads entirely to your taste.

Step inside a home that immediately sparks your imagination.
