Living project De Zilveren Helm is located in the rural green Halen. Located on a dead end street, you will not suffer from continuous traffic and children can play outside in peace. Rest and nature? Absolutely. Remote? No way! With the drive to the E314 just 10 minutes drive and downtown Halen 5 minutes, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Herk-de-Stad and Diest are only 7 km away, and Hasselt is only 20 km away. The project includes 5 timeless semi-open BEN houses, designed for durability and equipped with the latest energy technologies in the areas of insulation, heating and ventilation. Each house has three bedrooms and a spacious attic floor, accessible via a fixed staircase, perfectly furnished as an extra living space or bedroom(s). The region is special not only because of its rich natural beauty, but also because of its rich history. Here, the Battle of Silver Helmets was once fought. In 1914, at the beginning of the First World War, the Belgian troops drew up a line of defense to stop the German advance. The Belgians managed to defeat the German cavalry and on the battlefield many helmets of fallen German soldiers remained behind. Living project De Zilveren Helm jumps into the eye by combining the white facades with a warm red brick. Black aluminum outside trim combined with front doors in wood or aluminum. In the entrance hall are the cloakroom, the guest toilet, the stairs to the first floor, and on the left the entrance to the living room. The sitting area, dining area and kitchen are open and connected. Together with the large windows at the rear and the front, this gives a feeling of light and space. Next to the kitchen there is a convenient storage room. The large sliding window in the dining area offers access to the spacious garden. On the first floor you have access to the three bedrooms, a separate toilet and the bathroom via the night hall. The basis of an energy-efficient home is a good insulation. The house is therefore equipped with solid floor and floor wall insulation. Heating and cooling is done with a heat pump of 5 kW with a boiler for sanitary hot water of 180 liters and underfloor heating. The house is also equipped with solar panels. The ventilation of the various rooms is done via a ventilation system type D, with heat recovery, to ensure an optimal indoor climate. There is a rainwater well with a capacity of 7,500 liters. The houses are fully finished and the buyer has a say in the finishing (floors, interior doors, plumbing and kitchen). All apartments have 3 bedrooms and a spacious attic floor, accessible via a fixed staircase, which offers one or two additional living spaces or bedrooms. This extra space (silver) is offered as standard, but can also be finished. The total surface area ranges from 161 m2 to 165 m2. The construction works will be completed in the autumn. These properties are highly recommended if you are looking for quality, sustainability, tranquility, greenery and a smooth connection to nearby cities. More info? Contact us!
