Description

In the beloved Zurenborg district, in a side street of the famous Cogels-Osylei, you don’t have to choose between convenience and enjoyment. Berchem station, major access roads, tram lines, and the cycle highway are all nearby, as well as supermarkets, local shops, and – Zurenborg’s pride – the ever-lively Dageraadplaats and Draakplaats, full of original cafés and restaurants.

Immerse yourself in the majestic charm of this grand bourgeois house dating from 1911. The wide, authentic façade and wrought-iron front door already give a sense of prestige before you even step inside. The property underwent a thorough renovation starting in 2007. With around 300 m² of living space, including five bedrooms, there is room to spare. The spacious entrance hall with staircase, mosaic floor, and high ceilings sets the tone. The living area exudes grandeur with its original parquet flooring, beautiful mouldings, stately marble fireplace, and elegant woodwork. The modern kitchen features large windows and opens onto a deep, south-facing garden – a perfect spot to escape the city buzz. The meticulously finished cellar offers excellent space for laundry, hobbies, and storage.

On the first floor: the first bathroom, the main bedroom with terrace, and at the front, a beautiful office with bay window and herringbone parquet. On the second floor: a second bedroom and a large bathroom with both bathtub and shower. The third floor houses bedrooms four and five. Finally, the updated heating and electricity systems, newly insulated roof, and EPC rating C ensure that you can move in without a care.

owner speaks out

It has been an absolute pleasure living in this house over the past years, in such a fantastic neighbourhood. The atmosphere and the many architectural gems make Zurenborg one of those places where every walk reveals new details and perspectives – a true privilege to live here. After an extensive renovation, during which nearly all structural elements were addressed, we’ve mainly enjoyed the unique spaces and natural light throughout the house. The exceptionally wide façade and numerous authentic details, combined with contemporary comfort, create a distinctive architectural narrative. The pleasant location in the middle of the street and its southern orientation mean that the large garden gets plenty of sunshine. The rooftop terrace also allows you to enjoy the outdoors from the very first rays of sunlight. After years of happiness here, the time feels right to let a new owner experience their own dream in this beautiful home.
