Description

In the Kardinaal Mercierlei you live residentially and close to everything: shopping in the heart of the city, at the restaurant, schools, shops, parks, swimming pool Wezenberg, arterial roads... And your opposite neighbour? The cloister garden of the Sacred Heart Basilica. In this street of standing, almost every house is listed as architectural heritage.

The beautifully renovated façade (8m wide!) and the sublime marble entrance hall already give a hint of this eclectic-style mansion, built in 1909 by architect Jos Goeyvaerts and contractor Victor Merckx-Verellen. It is like walking into a piece of architectural history here.

Lots of natural light enters the stunning living spaces with their impressive ceiling height, authentic elements and handsome herringbone parquet flooring. At the back is the heart of the house: the beautifully open, sunlit living kitchen. Cooking is delicious on the Rosières gas cooker and in the atmospheric, south-facing garden you can imagine yourself in Provence.

On the mezzanine floor a sunny plant room, which now doubles as an office. The 1st floor is the parental area, with large bedroom, spacious bathroom with shower, bath, toilet and spacious dressing room.

On the 2nd and 3rd floor there are 2 more large bedrooms on the original wooden floors, the 2nd, bright bathroom and a multifunctional mansard.

Practically and technically too, this is a truly top-level property: the house has a full basement, new roof since 2021, new windows, boiler, kitchen, air conditioning...
