Location

Villa Empain meets villa Savoye
Only a visit to the property can convey its uniqueness, personality and atmosphere.
The estate agent, Alexander,

owner speaks out

The property is downright fantastic!

You feel the influence of art deco in the geometry of the door frames and railings, the round shapes of the entrance hall, staircase and side wing, the high ceilings, the natural stone floors and the grotesque of the rooms.

Modernism lies in the practical floor plan, the uniform use of materials and the simple external structure. Straightforward, straightforward, no fuss, no interference.

Although the house is huge, it still feels homely and you don't have the feeling of a palace. It remains habitable in all its luxury of space and light.

The indoor pool with jacuzzi and spa is of course a plus ;-)

Only a visit to the property can convey its uniqueness, personality and atmosphere.
