Description
In the quiet Schoonzicht neighbourhood in Winksele, this striking 1960s villa stands out: a time when building was synonymous with solidity, space and individuality. The architecture and finishes of that decade have been preserved here, giving the home a distinct identity that is hard to replicate.
With a living area of 264 m² spread over two floors, you enjoy ample space for comfortable living. The villa is laid out so that all living and sleeping quarters (4 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms) are on the same level. The underground cellar and garage complete the property with the necessary functional space. It is the proportions and logical layout of this home that immediately stand out. In addition, a multipurpose room on the lower floor offers extra possibilities.
The 9a94 plot is perfectly south-facing, located at the end of a cul-de-sac and borders a large agricultural area. At both the front and the rear you enjoy green, open views and exceptional privacy and quietness: something rare in this sought-after region.
The property requires a renovation to bring it fully to life and raise it to contemporary living standards. That is precisely what makes it so appealing: the opportunity to redesign an authentic gem entirely to your own taste and vision, in a location that rewards every effort many times over.
Engel & Völkers will be pleased to guide you through this unique process.
