Description

Cosy, dead-end street in small-scale neighbourhood (protected townscape!) on the peaceful Leuvense Vaart. Walking distance from the city centre, close to the station, schools and E19.

Picture yourself a monumental modernist home, and chances are it will look like this property by top architect Jos Chabot. All the elements are there - steel window frames, 10m façade width, elegant stained glass, magnificent rooms and ditto light, warm wood, Winckelman tiles, characteristic colours, interior doors with iroko veneer... You name it.

At the same time, since 2006 the house has been almost completely renovated: solar panels, charging post, roof, water supply, electricity, concrete works, windows, Van Ruysdael glass, kitchen... Restored according to the rules of art, finished down to the last detail.

Magnificent entrance hall. XL living on oak parquet and stunning, round bay window with chair profile and pivoting, curved glass (pivot windows), even a curved panel radiator. The kitchen has a dream cooker AGA with 2 ovens. The terrace extends the full width of the house - a lovely spot for breakfast in the morning sun overlooking the lush, deep garden.

1st floor: insanely handsome room (now office) with 12-piece steel framed windows. At the back 2 large bedrooms, also on parquet. The original bathroom has a lot of cachet, but requires renovation. Basement with 2 more bedrooms on the garden side, 2nd bathroom with sauna and shower and multi-purpose room for fitness and storage.

Unrivalled modernism by Jos Chabot, restored to contemporary standards in a unique location with great love for the original.
