Description

Just a few meters from the Grote Markt, in Mechelen’s most famous shopping street. A more central location is simply impossible in the city of the "Maneblussers".

Immensely charming, full of original details, and with extraordinary potential—this 19th-century townhouse with a stylish, classically inspired shopfront has it all. The property is a registered architectural heritage site, with a spacious area of 243 m².

Be enchanted by the beautiful shop window, classic built-in cupboards, oak parquet flooring, and authentic wrought-iron sign. It’s easy to imagine the people of Mechelen shopping here over the decades. At the front is the retail space, followed by two rooms, one featuring original cement and wall tiles. The former courtyard, covered to create additional storage space, could be reopened and transformed into a patio. The hallway tiles are also authentic, as is the elegant fixed staircase leading up to the attic.

On the first floor, there’s a very spacious room at the front. The middle and rear rooms retain their original wooden floors. The second floor is identical, except that the front room here has been divided into two. Finally, there’s an attic space for storage.

While this property requires a full renovation, its original charm makes it a true time capsule with incredible potential. Will you be the one to bring this property into the 21st century?
