Description

In a picturesque little street, right under the tower of St Macharius' church. Here you live a bit like a village in the city, but at the same time you can easily reach the centre of Ghent on foot. You are also close to Ham and Portus Ganda. Walking along the Leie, cycling to Dampoort Station or right on the ring road, with a car sharing spot around the corner. Breakfast at Valeir, fine wines at A Taste Affair, lunch and dinner at Golden Gai and Mortier. All nearby, in a cosy atmosphere in the city.

The practical costs of this property were already realised in 2014 (roof + insulation) and new windows came in 2022. The aesthetic interpretation of this characterful property with tiles in beautiful mosaic, high ceilings, double wooden doors, and original parquet floors still requires an honourable renovation.

You enter the large, open entrance hall on magnificent mosaic tiles. The elegant wooden staircase takes you to the basement, with 2 perfectly usable rooms and natural daylight, or to the 1st floor. On this 1st floor you will find 2 large rooms with lovely high ceilings, connected by impressive, wooden doors. At the back, you can walk through to the cosy city courtyard.

The 2nd floor again has the same layout: 2 large, connected rooms, one of which currently serves as a kitchen and the other as a living room. On +3 you will find 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the 4th floor, a large attic room with velux windows, could easily be finished as an extra bedroom.

Partly renovated house on the Lys, under the church tower, which with some TLC could become a beautiful family home again.
