Description
At Remylaan 16 in Wijgmaal, there is an exceptional property that exudes history and character. Once known as “Community Hall De Mess” of the nearby Remy site, this unique property is today a spacious and versatile home with a special appearance.
Through the stately wrought iron gate, you enter the imposing entrance hall with mosaic floor and high ceilings, which immediately emphasize the grandeur of the house. On the ground floor, there is an open and multifunctional space that combines several functions, including a lounge area, a dining section, and a stylish bar with beer taps. The abundance of natural light, the high ceilings, and modern lighting enhance the dynamic character of the home. At the rear is a professionally equipped kitchen, complemented by separate sanitary facilities.
The majestic wooden staircase leads you further to the upper floors. On the first floor, the spacious landing provides access to multiple bedrooms. A first generous bedroom with dressing room and separate washbasin is characterized by high ceilings, authentic parquet floors, and large windows. The other rooms vary in size and style and are complemented by an additional sanitary space that can be converted into a separate bathroom. The second floor includes a separate living unit with its own living room, kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, and toilet, making this property even more versatile and ideal for, for example, co-housing or an au pair.
The garden forms an oasis of peace and privacy thanks to mature trees, a well-maintained green setting, and a spacious terrace that invites relaxation. A garden house/storage and greenhouse also provide extra functionality.
This mansion is not only a piece of history but also a property with modern amenities such as solar panels with inverters, ample storage space, and a full basement. The central location, a short distance from Wijgmaal station and with a smooth connection to Leuven, makes the whole particularly attractive.
Anyone looking for a property with grandeur, history, and countless possibilities will find a unique opportunity in “De Mess.”
