apartment for sale in Louvain

Behind the classified façade of this mansion is a spacious duplex of 221 m2, distributed between the first and second floors. The building accommodates only three residential units, thus preserving the residential scale of the original property.

The architecture is typical of the reconstruction that helped shape the urban landscape of Leuven after World War II. The classified façade of the Brusselsestraat is part of this historic complex. On the other side are the chapel of the Hospices and the Romanesque Gate. This classified historical ensemble offers not only a particular view, but also a permanent unobstructed perspective, without external views.

The duplex was completely renovated in 2018, respecting existing architecture and with particular attention to contemporary comforts. The accommodation combines an interior with modern country style, high quality materials, a carefully designed lighting plan and complete technical equipment.

The living room includes a large entrance hall, generous living spaces and an exceptionally large open kitchen. The kitchen is the central point of the accommodation and has been designed as a real living space, with plenty of work plan and enough space to cook and eat in large numbers. The open link with the living room makes this floor particularly suitable for both daily life and the welcome of guests.

The technical aspects have also been completely rethought. The housing has a home automation system, motion detectors, built-in speakers and an elaborate lighting plan. A UTP socket is provided in each room, allowing an efficient and stable internet connection throughout the accommodation. Technical installations are integrated without affecting the character of the interior.

The top floor consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom. Thanks to the situation of the rooms on a separate floor, a clear separation is established between the functions of life and rest.

The accommodation has also been renovated energetically to provide contemporary comfort. The duplex has a class A PEB certificate, with a score of 70 kWh/m2 per year. It is equipped with gas floor heating and active cooling by air-to-air heat pumps. The combination of insulation, heating and cooling ensures a pleasant indoor climate all year round.

Particularly low common loads are an important advantage of this small-scale residence. The building has only three residential units and currently has no elevator, which limits the common infrastructure.

At the back is the absolutely exceptional asset of this accommodation: a sunny terrace with a remarkable area. The outdoor space is equipped with integrated flooring spots and waterproof electrical sockets, and has been designed as a real extension of the living space. It offers enough space for a large dining table, an outdoor lounge and various activities. Thanks to its dimensions and privacy, it is an exceptional outdoor space for accommodation in the historic centre of Leuven.

This duplex comprises 221 m2 of living space, three bedrooms, a generous open kitchen, a PEB Class A certificate, a home automation and complete data infrastructure, active cooling, low common loads and an exceptionally large and technically equipped terrace. The accommodation also enjoys a classified historic urban landscape, with a permanent unobstructed view of the Hospices Chapel and the Romanesque Gate.
