Description

In option - The Pulhof neighborhood is affectionately called “a village in the city” by its residents — and for good reason. Everything you need is within walking distance: bakery Lebleu, butcher Buermans, fishmonger Neusje van de Zalm, and excellent restaurants such as Da Fellini, Chasse Royale, and TamTam. It’s close to the city center, major access roads, and numerous schools, including O.L.V. Pulhof, just a few meters away.

Some houses have façades that immediately evoke a dreamy lifestyle — and this 1928 cottage-style home is one of them. It combines the best of past and present: historical architectural elegance and modern comfort. It is a listed heritage property, with its authentic façade, mosaic floors, glass interior doors, and Art Deco stained glass windows in the kitchen.

The property spans 285 m², offering ample space for a family. Like most houses in the area, you enter through a charming entrance hall, followed by two inviting living and dining rooms. Well-maintained parquet flooring, a cozy bay window with a view of Schomstraat, and impressive ceiling moldings emphasize the historic character of the home.

The real showpiece, however, is the kitchen with a view of the lush garden: flooded with light thanks to a dramatic skylight and a full-width sliding window. On sunny days, you can open everything and let the space flow into the southeast-facing garden. And when you're in the mood to retreat into your cocoon, roller shutters at both the front and rear offer extra coziness and privacy.

The home includes four bedrooms in total. The master bedroom and bathroom are located on the first floor and together form a perfect suite for a couple, complete with a terrazzo sink, recently renovated shower, toilet, and laundry area. On the second floor are bedrooms two and three — one of which includes a walk-in closet — as well as a spacious bathroom with double sinks, a mosaic-tiled shower, and a toilet. The generous mezzanine under the roof can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, or playroom. The possibilities are endless.

The house also features a full basement with a dry storage area and an oil tank.

Practical and full of charm, this is a rare city home indeed.
