More information about the property

Slovakia Sotheby’s International Realty offers for sale a timeless apartment with a floor area of 210 sqm, situated on the first floor of a distinguished townhouse in one of the most prestigious parts of Ghent’s historic centre, Belgium. The property stands out for its exceptional location in the Nederpolder district, between the Town Hall and the River Leie, where vibrant city life naturally blends with the peace and privacy of refined residential living. A complete renovation has been carried out with great sensitivity, preserving authentic architectural elements including the original mantelpieces and ornate plaster ceilings, which give the interior its timeless character.

The living area has been designed with an emphasis on openness, natural light and everyday comfort. High ceilings, large-format windows and pale Woodstoxx oak flooring enhance the sense of space, while the Obumex kitchen and bathrooms bring a level of exceptional craftsmanship to the interior. Opposite the living room is a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area and direct access to the south-facing terrace measuring 29 sqm. This private outdoor space is ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dining in the evening, and uninterrupted views of the iconic silhouette of St Bavo’s Cathedral.

The private sleeping quarters are separated by a hallway. The principal bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom, while the other two bedrooms are complemented by a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower, creating a practical layout for family living as well as comfortable guest accommodation. The carefully selected materials and technologies reflect the apartment’s high standard - Prado lighting, CEA taps, Sumum switches and Azzari fittings all underline the clean architectural aesthetic. The overall concept feels harmonious, highly functional and exceptionally representative.

Additional features further enhance the comfort of city-centre living, including underfloor heating, solar panels, a historic cellar, bicycle storage and a lift. A particularly valuable benefit is the option to purchase a garage in the immediate vicinity of the residence, an increasingly rare asset in this part of the historic centre. Schools, shops, restaurants and public transport are all within walking distance, making this an ideal choice for buyers seeking uncompromising urban living.
