Description

Beautiful, sought-after Exhibition District, a stone's throw from the heart of the city, with quick access to all motorways, public transport, shops, schools nearby.

This 1953 modernist house by architect R.T. De Braekeleer is an architectural gem. On the glvl, you will find a spacious garage as well as a phenomenal entrance hall. The staircase has a banister in elegant ornamental ironwork. Furthermore, on the glvl you will find 3 rooms, 1 of which with shower and all with access to the garden. These rooms could perfectly serve as hobby room, workshop, office, practice, kangaroo home or additional play and bedrooms. The large garden forms a green oasis in the midst of the energetic city.

On the 1st floor, you will find the kitchen with vintage cubex cabinets. A real treasure for vintage lovers or to refresh for those who like things more modern. From here, you step out onto the pretty terrace, where you have a view of the garden. Aperitifs here in the setting sun are blissful! Furthermore, the huge living space, original ceilings, majestic fireplace and authentic parquet floors provide warmth and style. Lots of attention to detail, for example in the tiles on the terrace, the protection of heating elements, door fittings, etc.

Also on the 2nd floor, 3 large bedrooms and a retro bathroom (also to refresh) offer plenty of space and possibilities. In the master bedroom, you will also find a super-practical wall of built-in cupboards and again that original ceiling.
The vintage Expo '58 feeling combined with modern comfort and a large, green garden: a hit in the Exhibition Quarter.

owner speaks out

We instantly fell in love with the large garden and original elements of this delightful fifties house. We are huge fans of the buildings and the style of the unique Exhibition Quarter. Thanks to the balance, tranquillity and high zen content you feel in all the rooms of this house, it was very easy to quickly find our bearings here and build a fine, secure home. Moreover, we have the advantage of being close to everything here: culture, greenery, friends, great cafés and restaurants... Now we are moving to the northern edge, but there we will often think back to this happy home and 't stad.
