Description

In addition to all the assets of Zurenborg - the lively Dageraadplaats, beautiful houses, cosy atmosphere and nice neighbours - you are also directly at Te Boelaer Park, the lovely swimming pond of Boekenberg Park or the stately Rivierenhof. 

This eclectic middle-class house is one of a series of six designed around 1925 by architect Charles Wuyts for the 'Berchemse Bouwhandel'. At the beginning of the last century, this firm had hundreds of houses built, mostly in Zurenborg. The six houses in this row fit together, with minor differences here and there. Number 86, for instance, has a neo-classical layout and art deco decoration details.  

In the handsome entrance hall with original floor tiles and marble against the walls, the original, somewhat twisted shape of the staircase stands out. Furthermore, this family home follows the classic layout of living room, living area, large kitchen with dining area and sunny city garden at the back. The veranda serves as a cosy reading nook. Soaking up the sun, you can take this literally. 

On the first floor you will find two spacious, bright bedrooms and a gigantic bathroom with a nice tile. The shower needs replacing. The second floor has almost the same layout, except that there is no bathroom here (yet), but a giant, handy laundry room. Two large rooms and a dressing room or office? Might as well. 

With EPC C, double glazing throughout and electricity compliant, you could move in here in no time, although the property could use a refresh for a brand new start.

owner speaks out

We were immediately delighted by the space and light in this property. Being from Brussels, it was important to us that we could maintain a quick connection to the capital, both by train and by car. We didn't really know the neighbourhood, but it didn't take long before we were complete fans of Zurenborg as well as its neighbours. A great village in the sta.
