Description

Think absolute centre of Leuven, and you end up here. Barely 20 steps from the Vismarkt, with all sorts of cosy cafés, boutiques and speciality shops on Mechelsestraat, Grote Markt and even the beautiful city hall quasi around the corner. A ‘grown-up’ house in a cosy car-free street, right in the middle of the lively student district.

Behind the classic façade is a surprisingly modern loft flat. Guerrilla Office Architects provided a flowing architectural interplay of lines in high-quality materials. This firm of architects does not see rules as a restriction - they prefer to test the limits to a maximum interpretation. In this house, moreover, both aesthetics and practicality were considered: every centimetre optimally used and built-in cupboards everywhere. Thanks to the many nice vistas, you are always in connection with each other, while maintaining sufficient privacy.

Kitchen and dining room on the ground floor form one large space, with the kitchen island and large dining table as the heart of the house. This is followed by the cosy outdoor area, perfect for summer aperitifs or bbqs with friends.
Half a floor higher is a multifunctional room - ideal as reading corner, office or (guest) room. Another half floor up you will find the spacious lounge.
At the very top you will find the master bedroom and bathroom with spacious walk-in shower and again fitted wardrobes à volonté.

A perfect hideaway for singles or couples with a heart for city life, a small family (2 bedrooms perfectly possible) or as an upscale student residence.

Pack and go - this unique lofty residence is waiting for you.

In this neighbourhood, every building breathes history; you walk through the past here, so to speak.
The owners,

owner speaks out

I am a lecturer at KU Leuven, so for me it was a real pleasure to live here, surrounded by ‘my’ students, and at the same time in the middle of a beautiful chunk of history. In this neighbourhood, every building breathes history, you walk through the past as it were. Meanwhile, a new adventure awaits me and I am moving to another city, so the next owner may come and soak up the lofty atmosphere of this lovely house and ditto neighbourhood.
