Description

The Markgrave, with its eclectic middle-class houses, is one of the city's most imposing residential neighbourhoods. Nestled between the Ring and Berchem, full of history and architecture, it is considered the southern counterpart of Zurenborg. 

Here you will find a wide parcelisation with quiet streets in the green, yet close to important access roads. With three parks and De Singel around the corner, you don't need a car to fill out your weekend.

This semi-open civic house was designed by the former architect of the Boerentoren. The façade combines elements of cottage style and neo-traditional architecture. 

The imposing entrance hall with original glasswork immediately sets the tone. Following this is the living space with herringbone parquet flooring and large windows on both sides. Modern elements flow seamlessly into the original design, which dates back to 1904. 

The sitting area with gas fireplace flows into the open kitchen, equipped with a marble kitchen island and all kinds of modern gadgets. Here you have a nice view of the garden, which is a work of art in itself. 

Rustic tiles take you between wildflowers and the pool to the rear seating area, which in contrast to the front façade is made of concrete, including the fireplace. This strong piece of architecture centres around the plane tree that rises from the brutal concrete -through the roof: the power of nature is unstoppable.
Want to relax after swimming in the jetstream pool? The basement with Turkish hammam is the place to be for wellness. There is also a handy laundry room and an office with wooden cabinets. 

On the first floor you will find the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and separate bath in bay window number two. A second bedroom with terrace overlooks the garden, with an outdoor shower as icing on the cake. Still prefer a bit more privacy? No worries, there is a separate bathroom with double sink, bathtub and toilet. 

The second floor comprises a bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom is again bathed in natural light and has a dressing room. In the bathroom, you will find a sink and shower. 

And then: on the third floor there is currently a fully furnished duplex flat, with separate entrance. Ideal for a growing teenager or nanny.  Through the entrance hall, you step into a spacious living space with an open-plan kitchen. This floor has three bedrooms and a bathroom.

By the way, the parking and driveway ensure that you always have parking space right in front of your door.
