Once upon a time.... More than 100 years ago, this Beaux-Arts mansion was built just a stone's throw away from the historic city centre and was inhabited by the noble Le Grelle family. The property boasts a living area of approximately 1,054m², a spacious southwest-facing city garden of approximately 605m², and 4 terraces. In total, there are 10 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. The house has multiple studios, a home cinema, and a full basement with a cooled wine cellar. Parking spaces can be rented next to and across the street. Just before the First World War, in a country of wealth, the Le Grelle bankers chose high-quality materials: Carrara marble, marble fireplace mantels, oak panelling, glass windows in oak frames, mouldings, parquet floors, and so on. The current owners have had the property restored by Dirk Van Hecke, known for the restoration of the Antwerp Cathedral. In collaboration with architect Wim Heyligers, this period master residence has been renovated to contemporary luxury and comfort. Since 2015, there have been acoustically insulated windows, wholly renovated plumbing and infrastructure for gas, water, and electricity, a roof compliant with 2020 standards, and solar panels. French artist Pascale Berthelot painted the structure of the 100-year-old wood where it could no longer be restored. The garden was designed in a completely organic way by bioengineer Hans Eerens. This noble residence exudes good karma, full of joy and happiness. 1963, the house was donated to a school for children with hearing impairments. Over the years, numerous soirées, masked balls, and events have been organized for hundreds of people. Opera concerts were performed by Flemish artists such as Jan de Clerck and Elise Caluwaerts. Some scenes in the Flemish series "Witse" were filmed in the house, as well as the Oscar-winning movie "Sound of Metal," a collaboration between a Flemish production company and Hollywood. This master residence is for those who want to live, work, and entertain here. The property is sold fully furnished, including artwork. Artwork by Isabel Miquel Arqués, known for works such as "Portrait With Shrimp Croquette" and the trilogy “Beyond Borders” about “Karen Blixen”, “Virginia Woolf" and Georgia O’Keefe.
