Description

Tucked away in a quiet street surrounded by woods. Alone in the world and yet 5 minutes by bike from the railway station with fast connection to Antwerp. Shops, sports clubs, schools,... are nearby.
Within walking distance of the Kalmthoutse Heide, close to the trendy Heide centre and Heide station, by train you are in Antwerp Central in barely 20 min.

Villa Frimout, a 1967 masterpiece by architect Jean Van den Bogaerde, is a paragon of the beautiful sixties building style, hidden behind tall rows of conifers, oaks and chestnut trees for maximum privacy.
Jean Van den Bogaerde, a Latem proponent of modernist architecture with major influences in his works by Le Corbusier and Japan.

With great respect for the architecture, the villa was energetically renewed in 2021: insulation in the walls, solar panels, new roof... The installation for the swimming pool was also renewed (with heat pump). Kitchen with authentic folding sliding table, folding bread machine and rotating cupboards and bathroom have been preserved in their original state.

The entrance hall gives access to a storage room, double garage with charging post and a bathroom with double sink, shower and toilet. An overhang serves today as a chill space for the kids. The ideal extension of the 3 spacious bedrooms adjacent to it.

From all rooms in the house, your eye immediately catches the beautiful, botanical Wirtz garden, decorated with special plants from the arboretum in Kalmthout.

Location

Villa Frimout, architectenwoning met zwembad in het bos
"The architect had a special relationship with the builder of this house and you can tell by the workmanship and high quality of the materials used."
'The owners'

owner speaks out

"The smart design of the house appealed to us from the start. The house is ideally designed for large families or small families who like lots of space and privacy for each family member. The outdoor space is also blissful. The villa is hidden and camouflaged behind tall rows of trees. At the front, there is a lovely front garden, perfect for a wild flower bed or herb garden.
At the back, you overlook the magnificent garden laid out by Jacques Wirtz. As a family, living here is very nice, with lots of children around. Everything you need is nearby. From schools to sports clubs, the station and the tastiest bakeries, butchers, shops and no-frills restaurants (In De Gloria, Rascasse, Zilverden...). And the beautiful Kalmthoutse Heide, of course ... which is within walking distance."
