Maison 2 chambres, Oostakker

Home4You is selling: a light-filled, semi-open architect-designed home in Gent-Oostakker that had its own unique character from the very beginning. Architect Eric Balliu (Baro Architects) combined concrete, wood, varying floor levels, and a mezzanine in a design that continues to surprise even today. Through the entryway, which features a separate restroom, you enter the living area, with an unobstructed view of the south-facing garden and the adjoining veranda, which catches the morning sun and acts as a heat buffer. A few steps up is the open kitchen with dining area—again with a view of the greenery—and a spacious storage room with space for a laundry area. The mezzanine is the ideal workspace: work from home with a view of the living area, without being right in the middle of it all. One level higher, you’ll find the first bedroom and the bathroom with its authentic tiling. At the very top, a second full-sized bedroom and a third room—which can serve as a children’s room, playroom, or extra office—await. A basement provides additional storage space. Outside, the driveway accommodates two cars, and the garage fits one large car, with four solar panels on the roof. Quietly located, with shops, schools, and public transportation within walking or biking distance; the Oude Bareel green space is 300 m away, the Wonderwoud is within biking distance, and the R4 is nearby, providing access to the E17, E40, and the port. EPC 488 kWh/m²/year (E-label); renovation requirement applies. Oil-fired central heating with thermostatic valves, electricity certified as compliant, post-inspection report available, floor plans upon request. The original design has been deliberately preserved: it’s up to you to write the next chapter. Want more info or to schedule a visit?
