Description

Unique villa by architect Léon Stynen.

Located in a pedestrian and tree-lined street in Koningshof, close to schools, public transport and shops.

Renowned architect Léon Stynen designed and built the house in 1933. The architecture testifies to his preference for the new aesthetics of modernism. His work is fully in line with the ideas of Le Corbusier.

The house displays a dynamism and linework unseen for its time. Stynen's ideal of balance and harmony is magnificently expressed in this house through the stylised and sleekly streamlined forms typical of modernism.

The terrace, with its two-storey ceiling and pronounced staircase, is an outstanding feature of the house. In addition, the leaning roof, the impressive sculpture in the facade and the handsome steel windows.

A caretaker's house and garage were added in 1969 in the same aesthetic. The annex could be used for liberal profession, office, pool house or caretaker's house.

Inside, the houses are in need of complete renovation. Also energy-wise, you will undoubtedly want to update the heating and windows. The roof was renewed and insulated eight years ago.

Subject to the right renovation, an invaluable architectural gem!

Attention!!! The land has been subdivided. The asking price is for the house on a plot of 2,045m2. The adjacent land of 2,000m2 can be purchased for €400,000.

owner speaks out

Few Belgian architects have left such an eye-catching, extensive and diverse body of work as Léon Stynen. He was an important and authoritative exponent of modernism in Belgium.

His fame is based not only on the quality of his work, but also on his role in education and the organisation of the architectural profession.

For the many row houses and villas in Antwerp and the Antwerp Kempen region, he made generous use of the jargon of 'new building'. Porthole windows, steel parapets and boat ladders feature frequently in Stynen's oeuvre.
