Description

In beautiful Maria-Ter-Heide, surrounded by greenery and tranquillity, opposite the Groot Schietveld shooting range, with all amenities at hand and easy access to Antwerp and the NL - it could not be better.

Strikingly sleek design by Albert Vanbelle from 1965, reinforced by the façade in red machine-built stone. The owners bought this villa on a 4120 m2 plot in 2003 from the original builder, so only two families have lived here in the past 60 years. Interior walls in white machine stone give a brutalist look. After renovation, technical installations were renewed and building envelope maximally insulated, while architectural character was optimally preserved. What is new: cast concrete floor with underfloor heating on the ground floor.

Automatic gate, front garden with bicycle storage and plenty of parking space. Glass front door and spacious hall. Left: office. Right: guest toilet, indoor double garage. Hyper-equipped kitchen with side entrance. Corner to dining room with fitted cupboards and blissful garden views. Then the restful sitting area, leading back into the hall. Down the hallway, a few steps: once play area, now additional sitting area with bathroom and kitchen - great for cohousing or practice.

On +1: parquet, night hall with XL wardrobe and 3 (first 4) bedrooms. Separate toilet. The bathroom by the master bedroom is the end point of the hallway.

Tight garden with many hedges, bordering an afforestation project (hello, deer!). Covered terrace with lounge, large swimming pond, pool house, sauna. Solar panels, basement, EPC A.

owner speaks out

We immediately fell for this property 21 years ago. The architecture, the style, the thoughtful design - both inside and outside - immediately appealed to us. So during the renovations and modernisations, we made every effort to preserve the original character. Preserving the soul of the house was an absolute priority for us.

We appreciate how practical and flexible this house is. The rooms are logically and thoughtfully arranged, with a focus on storage space and living comfort. Many rooms have already had diverse functions according to our family's needs - from playroom to home office - without ever feeling forced.

The strong connection between house and nature is also very special. Large windows at the back provide a sea of light and a beautiful, living view of the garden. We deliberately laid out that garden so that it flows seamlessly into the forest behind: tight and structured close to the house, more natural and wild the further you look. This gradual transition ensures that we regularly have roe deer visiting us, coming to graze peacefully - a magical sight. In the garden, there is something for everyone. While the children used to romp around the swimming pond, we enjoyed quiet moments in one of the sitting areas or in the pool house with sauna.

Finally, we like the fact that we are only the second owners. We took over the house from the original builder in 2003. We hope the next residents will find as warm a home here as we did.
