Description

IN OPTION - A rare combination of tranquillity and accessibility in a low-traffic street along the Leuven Canal, with ideal connections to Mechelen, Leuven and Brussels, and close proximity to public transport. Whether you enjoy walking, cycling or sports – it’s all possible in every direction: along the canal, in Hofstade or in one of the many surrounding nature areas.

This architectural villa from 1991 offers space in every sense of the word – perfect for those looking to combine living, working and relaxing. The property has been meticulously maintained over the years, with various updates and refurbishments throughout.
Inside, a generous entrance hall with cloakroom and guest toilet welcomes you. At the front, a spacious office in two sections – originally designed as a reception area and studio. The bright living area features a cosy sunken lounge with block parquet flooring and looks out onto the stunning garden and a magnificent chestnut tree. Large kitchen with terrace access and a practical utility room.

Ample parking and storage are provided: an integrated garage, a double carport and a wooden garden shed to the rear – each with an EV charging point. The basement has been converted into a playroom, gym and wine cellar.

The home features six bedrooms, tailored to suit various family configurations and needs. On the first floor, a fully renovated bathroom with bathtub, shower, double washbasin and separate toilet. A second bathroom and a multifunctional attic or seventh bedroom complete the picture.

Tranquillity, space and architecture in an idyllic setting? Absolutely.

Location

Lichtrijk en ruim wonen aan de Leuvense Vaart
There’s room for everyone: to unwind, to connect, or simply to slip away in silence with a good book.
De eigenaars,

owner speaks out

This home feels like a soft landing after a busy day – a place where coming home feels effortless: shoes off, coat on the hook, and… breathe!
There’s room for everyone: to unwind, to connect, or simply to slip away in silence with a good book.
Beneath the old chestnut tree, the day just melts away…
The spacious office offers options for those working or studying from home, while the outside world is never far: Mechelen station is within walking distance, Zaventem is just 15 minutes away, and schools and university cities are easily reached.
At the weekend, Vrijbroekpark, Planckendael, sports fields and the skatepark are all just around the corner.
Now that our children have moved out, we’re relocating just a few doors down – because this peaceful, green neighbourhood is simply too lovely to leave.
