The ground floor forms the vibrant heart of the building. Expansive windows allow daylight to flow generously into the interior while establishing a constant visual connection with the waters of the Donk. The openness of the space creates a sense of freedom and transparency, while the view remains ever-present as a calming backdrop. This setting lends itself perfectly to a hospitality concept, showroom, professional practice or office where atmosphere and representation are key. Private parking in front of the building provides additional comfort and discretion for guests, clients or patients.

In addition to the commercial space, the property comprises three separate residential units. Two flexible studios are located on the ground floor, while the first floor accommodates a spacious three-bedroom apartment. This layout allows for a wide range of possibilities, from rental or staff accommodation to a seamless combination of living and professional activities within one property.

The studios can also be easily adapted into consultation or treatment rooms, making the property particularly appealing for medical or paramedical practices, aesthetic clinics or other specialised professionals who wish to welcome clients in a calm and representative environment.

A standout feature of the property is the generous terrace and rooftop terrace offering panoramic views over the water. Here, nature, openness and tranquillity come together to create a unique setting — an inspiring place to relax, work or receive guests and clients.

Finally, the building offers the possibility of adding an additional floor, creating further development potential for those looking to expand or optimise the property in the future. As such, this address represents not only a highly versatile property today, but also a valuable opportunity for tomorrow.
