Description
IN OPTION - Amid total silence and natural beauty, an idyllic stream and your own forest: this is how you live here. This rural area near Mechelen and Leuven still has vast fields and real forests. The perfect balance: 15 minutes away from the centre of Brussels and 20 minutes away from Antwerp, but coming home completely zen and green.
This beautiful forester's house from 1879 received a total renovation by ARAS architects in 2017-2018, with emphasis on light, space, sustainable materials and preservation of original elements.
Hall with cloakrooms. Separate toilet. Glass door to dining room with top notch kitchen, underfloor heating, smoked oak parquet on side and floor-to-ceiling windows - stunning garden views guaranteed. Handy utility/laundry room and further space to the right for e.g. desk.
A few steps down: ultra cosy living space and sitting area with large wood burner. At the back, south-west facing terrace over the full width of the house, with lovely pool. The garden has already been partly landscaped by landscape architect Guy Stockmans. There is absolute tranquillity here, you only hear the soothing rustling of the trees in your own forest.
On +1: 3 children's bedrooms, spacious master bedroom with dressing room, bathroom with bath, shower and double washbasin. The extra attic space (50m2) can be used as you wish. At +2 the 5th bedroom, 2nd bathroom with shower and another XL multifunctional space. The wooden outbuilding also offers many possibilities.
