Description

In beautiful Maria-Ter-Heide, surrounded by greenery and tranquillity, opposite the Military Airfield, Brasschaat's walking paradise. All amenities and access roads to Antwerp and the Netherlands are also close at hand.

A long driveway, which you only share with your neighbours, leads to this beautiful home. Fully fenced property with entrance gate, carport for two and driveway for many more cars. The characterful façade has two entrances: a side entrance for everyday use and a formal front door for guests.

Entrance hall with, on the left, the cosy living room or TV corner with rustic oak parquet flooring, recovered from an old castle. On the right, the large living area with a place for a stove (possibly a desk) and a huge kitchen with a large island, beautiful terracotta floor tiles, a handy pantry and large windows that provide a wonderful view of the garden and terrace. Smeg gas stove, bamboo kitchen cabinets, super-sturdy Avocatus quartzite worktop and plenty of space for an XL dining table – this is where entertaining guests becomes a pleasure. Wonderful, partially covered terrace and fantastic garden with swimming pond, vegetable garden and handy garden shed.

Further on, you come to the side entrance with guest toilet and passage to the laundry room/storage room. Stairs to +1 with spacious night hall up to the ridge, dressing room and space for a desk – or would you like to create a fourth bedroom here? Two bedrooms, separate toilet, linen cupboard, small attic and spacious bathroom (bath, shower, two washbasins). Finally, on +2: the princely master bedroom.

Around the house, you will discover several cosy seating areas that naturally follow the sun throughout the day. From a quiet morning coffee in the soft morning light to a relaxing aperitif in the warm evening sun — you will always find your perfect spot here.

owner speaks out

When our second child was on the way, we were looking for a project in a green area. Not something that was ready-made, but a house with character that we could make our own. We fell in love with this façade instantly, without even seeing the inside. The story behind it was also fascinating: this house turned out to be the caretaker's house of the former Withof Castle – it even still had a bell on the roof.
During the first renovation, we tackled the cacophony of renovations and styles. The planned three months of renovation turned into eleven, but – if we may say so ourselves – we managed to beautifully preserve the spirit of the house. We waited until 2021 for the second part of the renovation. In the meantime, we got to know the house really well, so we knew exactly what we wanted to furnish where and which corners were cosy in which season. After that second renovation, we also tackled the entire garden. We have now been able to enjoy it to the full for two years and... we are ready for a new challenge. Everyone thinks we're crazy, but we sincerely hope to find someone who can appreciate our style and all the love and energy we put into it. Someone who, who knows, like us twelve years ago, might fall in love with this special place at first sight.
