Description

Close to the center of Mortsel, near a wide range of shops, schools, and public transport.

"Industry thrives" – these words are inscribed into the mahogany staircase handrail, the impressive masterpiece of this remarkably well-preserved architect-designed home. This must have been the spirit guiding architect Stassin and engineer Eelens when they created this semi-detached townhouse in 1934. A striking detail: the two round windows in the façade align exactly with those of the adjacent Vandemoortele house. Together with the minimalist roofline, both houses radiate a distinctly cubist aesthetic. These architectural features, along with the fact that both building permits were submitted simultaneously, suggest that the architects collaborated closely.

The entire property needs renovation, but those ready to take on the task will be rewarded with a sublime architect-designed home featuring abundant space, a literally and figuratively cool garden and garage – all in the heart of vibrant Mortsel, where nearly everything can be done on foot or by bike.

Spacious entrance hall with separate toilet. At the rear, a closed kitchen opens onto a pleasant terrace with a lovely view of the deep garden, where a beautiful cypress tree provides shade and coolness. The kitchen leads into a cozy living room, also with delightful garden views. Adjacent is the dining room, with an additional lounge area at the front. On the first floor: four generous bedrooms and a bathroom. On the second floor: two more bedrooms. Includes garage, basement level, and gas heating.

Curious? This unique home is waiting for your visit!

owner speaks out

We’ve lived here for 52 years. Our three children grew up in this home. They could always walk to school – everything is close by in the village of Mortsel, which was so convenient. The excellent public transport connections were also a huge plus. This house was always full of life – an open door for everyone. With all the space, guests could easily spend the night. From the raised terrace on pillars, the view over the garden is almost moving in its beauty. I’m leaving this beloved home with a heavy heart.
