Elegant mansion with character and breathtaking garden

This beautiful, characterful house was built around 1900 by Baron Gillès de Pélichy and exudes historical charm from the moment you enter. Since being purchased by the current owners around 1978, the house has been carefully renovated and expanded, with particular attention paid to preserving authentic elements. The result is a renovation that combines modern living comfort with the original character of the building: high ceilings, original materials, and an impressive turret contribute to the unique atmosphere. Located on Borbeeksesteenweg in Boechout, this address offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, rural environment with expansive views and charming homes, and a smooth connection to Antwerp and surrounding municipalities. Public transport, main roads, shops, schools, and sports facilities are in the vicinity. The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall with cloakroom and guest toilet. The lounge with massive Slavonian oak tiles and fireplace. The dining room with antique cast iron stove elegantly combines historical charm with practical living space. Adjacent is the living/TV room with built-in cabinets and desk, which provides access to the basement via a spiral staircase. The kitchen, tiled in retro black and white style, features a dark granite worktop, built-in cabinets, new appliances, and a bright breakfast area. From the living room, the terrace on natural stone is accessible, with large windows and decorative red shutters with white panels, overlooking the beautiful, well-kept park garden. This green environment with mature trees, lawns, and colorful borders forms an idyllic backdrop and enhances the tranquility and privacy of the home. On the first floor, you will find a night hall, a separate toilet, and three bedrooms. The master bedroom stands out with its high ceiling, graceful moldings, with a walk-in closet, dressing room, and ensuite bathroom with bathtub, double sink, and separate toilet. Additionally, there is a shower room with sink, a passage room with built-in cabinets and office space (also usable as a guest room), a second carpeted bedroom with built-in cabinets, and a third parquet-floored bedroom with built-in cabinets and desk. The second floor offers two more bedrooms, a third bathroom with bathtub and sink, a separate toilet, and additional storage space. The annex includes a garage for two cars, staircase, workshop, technical room, and an attic floor with the possibility for additional rooms and bathroom. The basement offers a separate outdoor access, crawl space, laundry room with linen chute, wine cellar, technical basement, meeting room, and wellness area with jacuzzi, as well as an additional technical room. In short, this house combines the historical allure and authentic charm of the original construction – including turret, high ceilings, and original materials, with careful renovations that respect authenticity, spacious living areas, and a beautiful park garden that adds tranquility, privacy, and beauty, in an excellent location that offers both rural tranquility and easy accessibility.
