Description

SOLD
From this excellent, convenient location in a quiet, residential neighbourhood of Sint-Amandsberg, you can reach the centre of Ghent surprisingly quickly. The perfect combination!

Tucked away and surrounded by greenery, you’ll find this spacious villa with an authentic vintage feel from the 1970s, whilst the property is also well-maintained in terms of energy efficiency, with an EPC rating of B.
The windows have been replaced, insulation has been fitted in the walls, and the electrical system is up to standard, so you can immediately enjoy this architectural gem by architect Gabriel Rabau to the full.

The brutalist character has been well preserved both on the external façades and on the ground floor, as seen in the stately entrance hall. There’s a spacious dining room and a huge, sun-drenched kitchen with a large island and a lovely view of the garden.
In the colourful living room, a cosy wood-burning stove on either side creates a visual division: on one side is the sunken seating area with its metre-high ceiling – which exudes brutalism in every fibre and is therefore the real showstopper on this floor.
There is also a practical utility room, a storage room, an in-house garage and the peaceful, lush garden with a lovely outdoor terrace and a pond.

The first floor also offers a wealth of space. The spacious landing leads to the master bedroom and four large, sunny bedrooms. Finally, there is the spacious bathroom with a shower and bath, and a handy dressing room.

Surrounded by nature and centrally located, this property combines architectural excellence with a practical layout – this beautiful family home has it all.

owner speaks out

When we first visited this 1970s architect-designed house, we had to search for a while, as the villa is playfully tucked away amongst the greenery.
Inside, it was the sunken seating area that immediately captivated us. We fell in love at first sight with this original, intimate space with its sky-high sense of space.

We cherish the lovely moments by the fireside and enjoyed the subtle play of light through the thoughtfully positioned windows, which also offer a glimpse of the changing seasons. And how lovely it was to stroll through the woodland garden early in the morning – our oasis of tranquillity! Afterwards, we returned, filled with renewed inspiration, to the cosy cocoon of this special home, which proved to be the ideal base for creative and artistic inspiration.

In the many rooms upstairs, we wrote, took photographs, played the drums, drew… In the large garage, we made furniture and forged silver rings, and in the living room we occasionally organised a party. Living and working here was a unique gift for us, a feeling we’d now like to pass on to the new residents.
