villa for sale in Forest

On the prestigious avenue Molière, this remarkable bourgeois house is one of the most beautiful expressions of Brussels' geometrical Art Nouveau. Built in 1905 by architect Jean-Baptiste Dewin as his residence and studio, it remains one of the few perfectly preserved witnesses of his work. Inspired by the Viennese Secession, its white stone façade, stained glass windows, mosaics, ironwork and carved decorations reveal an exceptional architectural refinement, classified both inside and outside.

Developing approximately 380 m2 of living space for a total interior area of about 400 m2, this property benefited from a remarkable heritage restoration between 2007 and 2013. Each intervention was conducted in absolute respect of Dewin's work, harmoniously reconciling contemporary comfort and conservation requirements. Complete home automation, gas heating, ventilation, zinc roofing, compliant electricity and high-end finishes integrate with remarkable discretion to historical architecture.

The painted frescoes, wall decorations and original ornaments have been carefully restored or faithfully restored by hand according to historical techniques. This quest for authenticity, combined with an exceptional quality of execution, gives the home an architectural coherence and emotion that is extremely rarely encountered in the market.

Behind its elegant garden, the house reveals magnificent receptions bathed in light including a library, a living room with open fire of about ±34 m2, a dining room open to the terrace and the south-facing garden as well as a fully equipped independent kitchen. The generous volumes, ceiling heights and restored decors make up a warm, majestic and timeless atmosphere.

The floors accommodate four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a main suite of about ±27 m2 with dressing room, supplemented by two large bedrooms of about ±30 m2 and ±26 m2 and a fourth bedroom of about ±17 m2. The basement houses a remarkable wellness area with an indoor swimming pool of 8 x 3 meters, sauna and technical areas, while an attic completes the property.

Rare in its history, the quality of its restoration and its remarkable state of conservation, Maison Dewin is intended for lovers of heritage, architecture and art of living in search of a truly timeless home.
