ANTWERP-MARKGRAVE - Luxury townhouse with indoor Pool

In one of the most prestigious streets in Antwerp, we find this impressive property. This luxury townhouse, complete with an indoor pool, was designed in 1911 in an eclectic style by architect Emile Thielens, commissioned by James Nurnberg. The property has a living area of approximately 1000 m² and sits on a plot of 752 m².

The house has a façade width of three uneven bays and consists of three floors beneath a beautiful mansard roof (slate). Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall with a marble floor. The spatial effect is enhanced by an atrium, immediately treating you to an imposing double ceiling height. The staircase hall at the rear is a focal point, dividing the house across its entire width, separated by the service staircase/lift which has its own access.

On the ground floor, you will find, among other things, a spacious integrated garage, a bicycle storage area, a guest toilet, an office with kitchenette, a cozy bar, and a wellness area with a pool, jacuzzi, sauna, walk-in shower, and a separate toilet. Both the bar and the wellness area provide access to the garden.

On the bel étage (main floor), the salons are located at the front, where the authentic parquet floors, the decorative fireplace, and the high ceilings immediately stand out. At the rear, there is the dining room and private salon, as well as a fully equipped kitchen, both offering access to a pleasant terrace with stairs leading down to the garden. This level also includes a fitted utility room and a separate toilet.

The second floor is arranged with the master bedroom at the front. This room is very spacious, and the custom features, high ceilings, authentic parquet floor, and decorative terraces make it particularly elegant. The ensuite bathroom is of exceptional quality, with underfloor heating, a double designer sink, a spacious walk-in shower, and a separate toilet. The second largest bedroom has a stylishly finished bathroom with a bathtub and walk-in shower, also featuring underfloor heating. A third bedroom, currently used as an office, is also located on this floor.

The third floor consists of four generous bedrooms and four bathrooms. On this level, there is also a large sun terrace and an additional toilet. The space next to the terrace can be adapted as desired, for example as a gym, TV room, or lounge for an au pair.

The basement level houses several functional rooms, including the technical room for electricity, a laundry room, the pool equipment, and the gas central heating system. The lift also stops at this level. In the garden, there is an outbuilding with a heated, covered terrace and a spacious garden shed.

The property was thoroughly renovated a few years ago and is equipped with high-performance glass, burglar-resistant windows, shutters, a new heating system, updated electrical wiring, and several new bathrooms.

This magnificent house, which combines authentic elements with modern comfort, is not only a stunning private residence but would also make an excellent boutique hotel, stylish office space, or other commercial purposes. Finally, in addition to the integrated garage, there is a driveway with space for several cars, both in front of and beside the house.
