The owners,

[aanhetwoord]

Our sons still say: “It really feels like a holiday here.” And actually, that’s exactly what we love so much about this house ourselves. You’ve got the greenery, the peace and quiet, the swimming pool and loads of privacy, whilst at the same time being close to everything.

On a summer’s evening, we walk to Frijthout, cycle to Antwerp or pop in for a drink at Bar Eduard. And afterwards, you simply come straight back home and jump into the swimming pool. That holiday feeling, without having to go anywhere, is what we’ll miss most about this place.

Easy access to Antwerp

Situated in the sought-after Bloemenwijk, one of Hove’s most pleasant residential neighbourhoods. Green and peaceful, yet close to the town centre, schools and the station. Antwerp is also easily accessible, with the cycle highway nearby and the city just about twenty minutes away by bike.

Tucked away on one of the most beautiful streets in the Bloemenwijk, this characterful semi-detached house is hidden behind a charming façade and a particularly green plot. A house that immediately stands out for its light, privacy and, above all, its atmosphere. Not the sort of home that can be summed up in a single sentence, but that is precisely what makes it so pleasant. Inside, everything revolves around light and living space. The living room, with its parquet flooring and gas fireplace, flows naturally into the open-plan kitchen with an island. From the extension built in 2017, you look straight out into the garden, with the swimming pool serving as an almost natural extension of the living space.

Outside, it almost feels as if you’re somewhere else entirely. The garden is fully enclosed, exceptionally private and cleverly laid out with a sunny terrace, a covered dining area, plenty of greenery and, of course, the swimming pool. No prying eyes, just complete freedom. Children have their own play area, whilst there is a separate chill-out room in the basement. The first floor comprises three spacious bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with a bath, shower and toilet.

The entire second floor is dedicated to the master bedroom: a peaceful, almost hotel-like space with an en-suite bathroom. Practicality has also been carefully considered here, with a separate garage, a bicycle and storage area, and a surprising amount of storage space throughout the house.

A house with character, a strong connection between indoors and outdoors, and, above all, that lovely sense of peace and freedom – as if you were on a mini-holiday here every day.
