Romantic country house with paradise garden and swim pond

Description

In this peaceful and characterful neighbourhood, historic villas reflect Willebroek’s distinguished past, where engineers and company directors built their residences during the interwar years. Within walking distance of the railway station and with easy connections to Mechelen, Antwerp and Brussels. This listed heritage “Engineer’s House”, designed around 1924 by architect Adrien Blomme, charms with its staggered volumes, decorative gables, wooden balcony and idyllic garden of almost 2,000 m². The roof, moabi hardwood window frames and façades were renovated in 2003. The ground floor features an entrance hall with original cement tiles, cloakroom, guest toilet, storage room, living room with library and gas fireplace, kitchen and separate dining room. The first floor offers three bedrooms and a bathroom to renovate. The second floor includes three additional rooms with potential for a second bathroom. Full basement with wine cellar, detached garage and workshop. The true highlight is the south-facing walled garden, complete with a natural swimming pond, pétanque court, vegetable garden and numerous fruit trees. A historic home with a unique soul.
