Description

On the 'Vesten' of Mechelen, barely 1 kilometre from the station and yet close to the historic centre. Moreover, as only local traffic is allowed in this service road, you can always easily find a parking space in the street.

A sumptuous piece of architectural heritage, that is the least you can say about this eclectic bourgeois house. In the facade inscription you will discover that this house was designed by P. Moons in 1913.

From the spacious marble-floored entrance hall, you can go left to the sous-sol - with 3 connected rooms and garden access ideal for liberal profession or office. This floor can also be reached from the upstairs hallway. At the top of the stairs: the blissful 1st floor, just above street level, so no views but plenty of light. Living room on parquet, separated from the kitchen by beautiful stained-glass windows with magnificent nostalgic Haertland cooker and stairs to the large, paved garden facing west. With some simple interventions, it can be transformed into a green paradise in no time - a huge surplus, in the heart of the city!

Mezzanine floor with bedroom and beautiful bathroom; 1 floor higher the 2nd bedroom and above that the 3rd bedroom with cute, round windows and another attic room, perfect to convert into an extra bedroom or bathroom.

That the house was renovated with the greatest care and finest materials and has always been super well maintained is evident in every detail. Even the recent paintwork is in excellent condition, only the central heating is missing. A quasi-ready-to-use architectural gem, then.

Perfectly intact historic charm, top location, large city garden... What's not to like?

owner speaks out

'We inherited this property from our dearest aunt Tinne. The special house was her heart and soul. With the utmost care, she gradually restored the property into a gem, right down to the ironwork in the front facade. She had to forgo a lot of nice things for it, because for her, only the best of the best was good enough. Our aunt was an incredibly intelligent woman. She was extremely well-read, artistic, and she kept on studying. It is with great pain in our hearts that we have to let this gem go, we fervently hope that the new owners will feel as much love for this house as our aunt did.'
