Description

You really have to see this triplex flat in a former brewery to believe it, as it offers no less than 500 m² of flexible living space spread over three floors. It’s also on a small scale, as there are only three other flats in this fully renovated building.

On the garden level, you’ll find the kitchen-diner and central living room. From here, you can step straight out onto your XL private terrace and continue straight into the large, shared and well-maintained garden. Also on this floor: entrance hall, cloakroom, toilet and storage room. Spacious, shared basement on -1. At street level, you’ll find the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a second, spacious bedroom and the pièce de résistance of this property: the 84 m² multi-purpose space. Your own address? Separate entrance? Belgian marble flooring and underfloor heating? Check, check, check! For anyone dreaming of a (group) practice, studio, gallery or workshop space, this might just be the place. On the first floor, you’ll find even more bedrooms, and the top floor boasts a further three bedrooms with fitted wardrobes, a second bathroom and handy storage space.

This property leaves plenty of scope for your own personal vision – cohousing or multi-generational living, a spacious home for your blended family, a live-work combination, or a unique hub where your creativity can flow.

owner speaks out

On the character: This is no run-of-the-mill property. The history is truly still embedded in the walls here, but with all the comforts of modern living.
About the space: What I find so unique is those 500 m² of possibilities. Whether you dream of a studio, a group practice or a granny flat: here, it’s all possible under one roof.
About the multi-purpose space: Those 84 m² at street level are a real gem. With its own address and that beautiful marble floor, it’s the perfect place to keep work and private life separate.
About the location: You’re right in the heart of the village with everything within walking distance, but as soon as you sit on the terrace overlooking the garden, you don’t notice any of that at all. It’s the ideal base between Leuven and Brussels.
