The Dewin House, a listed Art Nouveau masterpiece with indoor pool

On the prestigious Avenue Molière, this remarkable listed bourgeois townhouse embodies one of the finest expressions of Brussels geometric Art Nouveau. Built in 1905 by architect Jean-Baptiste Dewin as his home and studio, it remains one of the rare, perfectly preserved witnesses to his work. Inspired by the Vienna Secession, its white-stone façade, stained glass, mosaics, wrought ironwork and sculpted ornamentation reveal exceptional architectural refinement, listed both inside and out.

Offering approx. 380 m² of living space for a total interior area of about 400 m², the property underwent an outstanding heritage restoration between 2007 and 2013. Every intervention was carried out in absolute respect for Dewin’s work, harmoniously combining contemporary comfort with conservation requirements. Full home automation, gas heating, ventilation, zinc roofing, compliant electrical installation and high-end finishes integrate with remarkable discretion into the historic architecture.

Painted frescoes, wall décor and original ornaments were meticulously restored or faithfully recreated by hand using historic techniques. This pursuit of authenticity, combined with exceptional workmanship, gives the residence an architectural coherence and an emotion extremely rarely found on the market.

Behind its elegant front garden, the house reveals magnificent light-filled reception rooms including a library, a living room with open fireplace of approx. ±34 m², a dining room opening onto the terrace and the south-facing garden, as well as a fully equipped separate kitchen. Generous volumes, high ceilings and restored décor create a warm, majestic and timeless atmosphere.

The upper floors comprise four bedrooms and three shower rooms/bathrooms, including a principal suite of approx. ±27 m² with dressing room, complemented by two large bedrooms of approx. ±30 m² and ±26 m² and a fourth bedroom of approx. ±17 m². The basement houses a remarkable wellness area with an 8 x 3 m indoor pool, sauna and technical rooms, while an attic completes the property.

Rare for its history, the quality of its restoration and its remarkable state of preservation, the Dewin House is intended for lovers of heritage, architecture and the art of living seeking a truly timeless home.
