Description

Behind its 1898 façade, this period townhouse has preserved the very soul of its era: original wall paintings, ceiling frescoes, stained-glass windows and finely sculpted mouldings have all stood the test of time. A complete renovation in 2003, followed by ongoing refinements, has skilfully combined the original craftsmanship with the comforts of today. The property offers approximately 298 m² (EPC) across four levels, on a 330 m² plot that has far more to offer than meets the eye. The entrance hall opens onto a ground floor of remarkable volume. Currently arranged as a professional practice with waiting room, consultation rooms and direct access to the garden, this level offers a versatile layout, equally suited to a generous family living space or to a combined live-and-work configuration. The first floor is entirely dedicated to daytime living: a spacious dining room with open kitchen flows into a light-filled lounge. An 11.5 m² terrace extends the living area outdoors and overlooks the garden. The second floor forms the master suite, with a generous bedroom opening onto a second terrace, a private dressing room (which could also serve as a second bedroom) and a bathroom. On the upper level, two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom are tucked under the eaves. The house features a full basement of around 87 m², providing generous storage. The garden of around 154 m², entirely redesigned in 2013 and beautifully lit, forms a peaceful green oasis in the heart of the city. At the rear stands the independent atelier of around 85 m²: a genuine opportunity for a liberal profession, artist's studio, office or guest accommodation. A closed garage box across the street is available at additional cost, a rarity in this neighbourhood. A home full of character, where the elegance of a late 19th-century townhouse blends harmoniously with contemporary comfort. Ideal for a family seeking space and authenticity, for expats, or for a professional wishing to combine living and working at a single address.

Location: Schaerbeek, Brussels

Schaerbeek ranks among the most dynamic municipalities in Brussels, and the area around Josaphat Park is widely considered one of its most characterful neighbourhoods. Grande Rue au Bois sits in a quiet residential pocket just a few steps from the park, where stately townhouses from the late 19th century still radiate the elegance of a bygone era. The local atmosphere is unmistakable: lively, multicultural, and especially popular with young families, expats and lovers of period homes. Josaphat Park, with its 20 hectares of lawns, ponds, playgrounds and sports fields, is regularly voted Brussels residents' favourite park. English landscape-style paths, a mini-golf, an archery range, Friday apéros and the annual Cherry Festival keep the park lively all year round. The Place des Chasseurs Ardennais hosts a weekly market every Friday, surrounded by bistros and wine bars that give the neighbourhood its relaxed, cosmopolitan feel. The Avenue Louis Bertrand, with its remarkable Belle Époque architecture, is one of the most beautiful avenues in Brussels. The setting is particularly well suited to families: French-speaking, Dutch-speaking and international schools are within a few minutes, alongside several sports clubs (including the Royal Tennis Club Lambermont within the park itself) and cultural venues such as the renowned Halles de Schaerbeek. In terms of mobility, the location is strategic: several tram lines link the neighbourhood swiftly to central Brussels and the European quarter. Schaerbeek station, just minutes away, offers direct S-train and IC connections, while the R0 ring road and Brussels Airport are within a fifteen-minute drive.
