Spacious, atmospheric and architect-designed three-level lower house of 220m² (GFA 257m²), featuring a generous living floor with open kitchen and an adjoining sunny garden of approx. 88m², five bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms and a full basement. The property has a new foundation and is located on freehold land in the beautiful Oud-Zuid district.
This beautiful ground-floor apartment was renovated under architectural supervision in 2006 (ground and first floor) and in 2022 (basement and conservatory), using high-quality materials in natural tones. Striking features include the high ceilings and authentic details, which, combined with a modern finish, create a refined and elegant atmosphere. The rear extension with floor-to-ceiling window frames and a skylight adds volume to the living floor and allows for abundant natural light.
The homeowners’ association, named 'Association of Owners of the building Van Breestraat 171', was established earlier this year following the subdivision and consists of two members. In 2023, the entire exterior was painted, including both the front and rear sides. Additionally, the front façade was repointed last year.
LAYOUT
A private entrance leads into the home, where a vestibule with a glass interior door opens into a spacious hallway with a coat closet, separate toilet, and meter cupboard. From the hallway, there are two access points to the bright, open-plan living area, which is divided into a sitting area at the front and a kitchen-dining area at the rear. The front sitting room features an original fireplace and a custom-built bench by the window.
At the rear, the generously sized kitchen connects beautifully with the sunny south-facing garden. This elegant kitchen boasts handle-less wooden cabinets and drawers combined with a solid light-colored natural stone countertop. The kitchen layout includes an L-shaped unit with sink area (updated in 2022, including new energy-efficient integrated appliances) and a cooking island opposite. A charming detail is the sightline from the kitchen to the hall as well as the view into the garden. The extension features two sets of French doors.
A small staircase to the left leads directly into the garden through the French doors. This deep, south-facing garden measures approx. 88m² and offers space for both a lounge and a dining area. It features paving stones and generous planting along both sides. At the back is a spacious wooden shed providing ample storage.
The basement level is accessible via stairs from the kitchen and serves as the first sleeping floor of this family home. This full-fledged level is entirely fitted with underfloor heating. A central hallway provides access to all rooms. On both sides, you’ll find large bedrooms with good natural light. The bedroom at the garden side includes a large built-in wardrobe. In the middle of the basement are the bathroom and the adjacent laundry room.
The spacious, modern bathroom features a mix of floor tiles and light-colored wall finishes, including beige hexagon tiles. It includes a walk-in shower, floating toilet, wide wooden vanity with dual sinks and built-in taps, a broad mirror wall, and a heated towel rail. The laundry room is fitted with necessary connections and houses the central heating system.
A staircase with a red carpet runner leads from the ground floor to the first-floor sleeping quarters. Again, there are large bedrooms on both sides. The front bedroom features a charming bay window, while the rear bedroom has a spacious walk-in closet and French doors opening onto a full-width balcony overlooking the garden.
A third bedroom at the front is currently used as a home office.
The modern, spacious bathroom on this level also features a mix of grey/black/white tiling with underfloor heating, white walls with black trim, a bathtub by the window, a generous walk-in shower, a wide freestanding vanity with two built-in taps, and a heated towel rail.
This floor also includes a separate toilet and a laundry area with the necessary connections.
The main living floor features a beautiful oak herringbone floor, the first floor has light oak flooring, and the basement is finished with Marmoleum and underfloor heating.
The entire home is fitted with double and partly triple glazing.
