Description

IN OPTION - Exactly 300 steps from St Rombout's Tower. Shops, galleries and restaurants nearby. Broodbroeders bakery even on your doorstep. Right in the historical heart of Mechelen and a Mobiscore of 90: it couldn't be more central. Moreover, since the redevelopment of the ramparts, the neighbourhood has become even more residential. Parking is easy in the street or in the public car parks.

This beautiful town house called 'Schildeke' is architectural heritage from the 18th century. It once housed a hairdressing salon and even today there is a thriving barbershop here. The space, consisting of a rectangular volume with built-in cupboards, cloakroom and toilet on one side, is perfect for conversion into e.g. a gallery, shop or office. The furnishings can also be taken over. The whole was designed by interior designers Contekst. Top notch finishes, from the floors with underfloor heating, to the restored ceilings with original wooden beams and LED lighting. Behind the lounge is a kitchenette to the right. The outdoor space with beautiful vertical garden can be reached through the ceiling-high windows.

In 2014, the entire property underwent a total renovation. This earned it bronze in the 2018 Urban Prize for Architectural Heritage.

Above the commercial space is a spacious and also top nor finished duplex flat, accessible via a separate front door or along the commercial space and is also for sale.

A wonderful piece of heritage in the heart of Mechelen, sustainably restored and finished with quality materials.

owner speaks out

When I saw this historic property for sale at the time, I instantly fell in love. I enjoy living and working in this beautiful piece of heritage immensely. It is with regret in my heart that I am moving to larger premises to give my growing hair salon more space. I used to have a barbershop on Veemarkt, but since moving here, the salon has grown exponentially. Sint-Katelijnestraat is therefore a prime location. Close to the city centre and with plenty of parking nearby. Had it been possible, I would definitely have stayed. In a few steps I am at all my favourite restaurants. And of course the charm of the house is also enormous.
