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.

Location: Schoonzicht, Herent

In the green residential surroundings of Herent, on the edge of Leuven, Schoonzicht feels like a discreet home base for those who want to combine peace, privacy and a refined lifestyle with easy accessibility. Ideal for discerning families and professionals who value proximity to top amenities, without sacrificing serenity.

The infrastructure is particularly strong: Leuven city centre can be reached in approx. 15 min by car or approx. 25 min by bike. Brussels is about a 25-minute drive away, and Brussels Airport about 20 min by car, making the location excellent for international connections. Rail services in the region and the fast access to the E40 and E314 also make commuting efficient and comfortable.

For relaxation, you are close to Leuven’s cultural and gastronomic offering (museums, theatres, top restaurants), while the surrounding green areas and country roads invite walking, running and cycling. Golf enthusiasts will find several high-quality clubs within a short driving distance in the wider area.

Its special asset is the rare combination of leafy residential quality and a strategic location between Leuven and Brussels: an address that radiates tranquillity, yet keeps the world within easy reach.

Those who live here choose an elegant balance between nature, urban allure and effortless mobility. A location that feels like considered luxury every day.
