Description

In the heart of Sint-Mariaburg, a historically valuable neighbourhood in Brasschaat, this seventies villa is hidden away. You live in green surroundings, in a quiet wooded street, close to the cosy village centre. The neighbourhood combines easily accessible city connections with the proximity of nature areas such as the Kattekensberg play forest.

The Henrilei breathes history, from the 1930s tramway to the heritage of Henri ‘Zotte Rik’ Van den Weyngaert. This house is a silent witness of the 1970s, with a facade full of character, large windows and a garden full of light and shade. Through the spacious entrance hall with guest toilet, you reach the modern kitchen, which overlooks the garden. The kitchen connects to the dining room, separated from the sitting area by a fireplace. The typical mix of plasterwork and open brick gives the house an authentic seventies vibe, enhanced by the open mezzanine -perfect as a library, TV corner or office.

On the first floor, through the large night hall on parquet (currently used as an office), you reach three spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom and ensuite bathroom with bath, shower, double sink and WC were added in 2004. Thanks to lots of glasswork, each room feels like a tree house in the greenery.

Extras: an indoor garage, basement with crawl space and lots of built-in storage. Nostalgia with potential for today.
