Description

Located in a peaceful, private cul-de-sac in the historic heart of Mechelen, this unique home offers absolute tranquility just steps from the vibrant Vismarkt and St. Rumbold's Tower.

Once two separate houses, the property was merged into one harmonious whole while keeping its two front doors. Carefully updated over the years, it features a new boiler (2023) and boasts an excellent EPC B rating.

The ground floor features an office, a bedroom (currently a gym), a versatile workshop/bike storage room, and a basement transformed into a cozy music room.

The first floor offers a bright living area, a dining space, and a kitchen equipped with recent Miele appliances, opening onto a lovely terrace.

The top floor houses an atmospheric bedroom suite with a dressing area and en-suite bathroom.

The true heart of this house is the stunning, fully glass elevator connecting every floor.

As an extra asset, there is an option to purchase a nearby parking space.

For those who love to live outside the box: this unique property is truly one of a kind.

Waking up with a view of the St. Rumbold's Tower. A coffee in our little garden. Hearing the carillon from the roof terrace. Enjoying the tranquility of this picturesque, cul-de-sac alley. And inside, that wonderful light everywhere and that special vertical loft feeling, with the panoramic elevator as the connecting common thread throughout the entire house. These are, one by one, things that we have always found extraordinary here and will miss dearly.
