Description

Certainly not a run-of-the-mill property, but a stately townhouse in the residential Nieuw Kwartier, a pleasant and architecturally interesting neighbourhood. Peaceful living, yet within walking and cycling distance of the city centre, the station, shops and restaurants – including Bar Stan. A much-loved location within Leuven’s ring road!

This ground-floor flat, in need of a refresh and designed in 1936 by the Leuven architect Georges Sterckx, still offers a solid foundation today with a striking number of original features. Authentic architecture and heritage go hand in hand here with comfortable city living.

A characterful façade in classic yellow brick. Ground floor featuring an entrance hall, an exceptionally convenient in-house garage, storage rooms, a utility room and access to the garden.

The beautiful staircase leads to the exceptionally spacious living area on the first floor, featuring a light-filled living space, lounge, kitchen and dining room. The well-preserved authentic interior doors, parquet floors and glazing immediately transport you back in time. Beautifully preserved modernism of this calibre is a rare find these days. From this floor, you step straight out into the pleasant city garden with mature planting and plenty of privacy – perfect for serving lunch or an aperitif straight away in this wonderfully peaceful, green oasis.

On the second and third floors, you’ll find a total of five bedrooms, the bathroom, a study and a handy attic space. This property currently has an EPC rating of C, but this could, of course, improve following the necessary refurbishment work.
