Description

In the historical city centre, on one of the most delightful spots in Mechelen: the Dijle. Thanks to the beautiful view over the water and the pleasure boats, you get an instant holiday feeling here. At the same time close to the city centre, near the terraces of the Vismarkt, the IJzerenleen and the railway station.

In 2019-2020, this modern property received a total makeover with sustainable, high-quality materials. A beautiful living area of 266 m2 is distributed over three floors, accessible by stairs and lift. On the ground floor: the entrance hall with beautiful stone staircase, to the left the indoor garage with space for bicycles and two cars in a row, storage room, technical room and laundry room.

An original upside down design was chosen, on the first floor, entirely on voile oak parquet, you will find two bedrooms, two bathrooms in marble, dressing room and separate toilet. Thanks to this clever layout, the beautiful living space on the second floor is flooded with natural daylight. At the front the sitting area, again on vole oak parquet, with a full glass wall in triple glazing and phenomenal views of the Dijle. Top notch kitchen with marble top and space for a second, west-facing terrace.

The third floor was completely reserved for the sublime roof terrace, with all-day sun and views of Mechelen's six churches - and when the stargazer emerges from the star dome of the Scheppers Institute, this place becomes extra magical...

Location

“

The location on the Dijle, overlooking one of the most beautiful river bends in the city of Mechelen, was the deciding factor.

The owner

owner speaks out

After 20 years of living and working in the United Arab Emirates, I bought this property hull and then had it completely renovated. Only the outer walls and roof remained standing. I wanted to make the beautiful surroundings even more beautiful, so I resolutely chose high-quality materials to do full justice to the house and its unique location.

The location on the Dijle, with a view of one of the most beautiful river bends in the city of Mechelen, was the decisive factor. From the roof terrace, I look out on the Beguinage church, the beautifully lit Sint-Romboutstoren, the sixty-year-old star dome on the Scheppers Institute, the beautiful houses, trees and gardens on the other side and visitors sailing into Mechelen on their yachts... A blissful sight! Also nice and convenient that you can easily walk or cycle to the city centre, the railway station or even the Zennegat. So why am I moving away from such a fantastic place? After more than 40 years in Africa, the Middle and Far East, adventure still beckons again.... I will return to visiting faraway places, albeit in peace and quiet, but for that kind of life, a smaller pied-à-terre in Belgium is more appropriate. So this unique property becomes vacant, and someone else can enjoy it to the full.
