Situated in a one-way street on the border between Berchem and Mortsel, the property offers exceptional accessibility to schools, shops, railway, major roadways and the highway. The city can easily be reached by bicycle or tram.
For over half a century, this stunning façade concealed the home of a congregation of nuns. Today, it stands as a remarkably spacious family residence (+/- 350m²) brimming with character and charm.
Step through the elegant front door into a hallway adorned with authentic period features: a beautiful wooden staircase, classic wainscoting, and a striking bluestone floor. To the left, where the mother superior once conducted her affairs, you'll find a study that could easily be transformed into storage space or bicycle storage.
The living area immediately captivates with its irresistible charm. Wooden plank flooring, a welcoming fireplace, and soaring high ceilings create an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Through the dining area, you'll discover a sun-drenched veranda overlooking the delightfully sunny garden. The veranda also provides access to a garden room—perfect as a studio or hobby space. Adjacent to the veranda, the well-appointed kitchen features a cozy breakfast nook or additional dining area.
The first floor houses the master bedroom with its luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with bathtub, shower, double sink, and toilet. Here too, the high ceilings and abundant natural light continue to impress. Two additional rooms on this floor currently serve as an office and dressing room.
The second floor offers versatile living space—ideal as a children's domain or teenage retreat. It features two bedrooms with potential for a third, plus another bathroom equipped with shower, toilet, and sink.
Additional highlights include a spacious basement, fully insulated roof, and newly installed heat pump and solar panels (both from 2024).
Historic charm, central location, generous space, beautiful garden... What more to ask for?
