Description

In one of the most charming streets in Mechelen city centre. Super central yet wonderfully quiet. Close to the Dijle, shopping streets, and the Vismarkt with its cozy terraces.

A thorough renovation in 2023 has transformed this authentic townhouse into the perfect city home. The picturesque 19th‑century facade has been beautifully preserved, while the rear part of the house is completely new. The charm remains, with maximum modern comfort: triple glazing, heat pump, solar panels, air conditioning, underfloor heating… Everything is included.

Upon entering, the hallway offers a toilet, bicycle storage (always a plus in the city!) and access to the dry cellar. A lovely detail: the original ceiling mouldings have been kept. At the rear, the fully equipped kitchen overlooks a quaint inner courtyard. The mezzanine adds extra light and an open feel.

On the first floor is the living room, flooded with light thanks to the mezzanine and large window. An additional room can serve as a bedroom or office, with built‑in storage keeping it tidy.

Upstairs is another delightful space: a spacious, bright bedroom with an adjacent bathroom.

A brand‑new home (EPC A) behind one of the most beautiful facades in the street — all you need to do is unpack your boxes.

owner speaks out

We renovated this house with great care and the best materials. Lots of natural light was important to us, hence the large rear windows — wonderful when the sun is shining. We think the combination of authentic elements with the renovation and new construction is very successful. Living here in the heart of the city is delightful, yet incredibly peaceful. What a luxury!
