Woning en villa for sale in Ixelles

The signature of Ernest Blérot Opposite the Ponds of Ixelles, this art-nouveau house, designed by Ernest Blérot in 1904, embodies one of the most characteristic expressions of Brussels architecture. The property is fully protected as a heritage and offers approximately 665 m2 gross surface area, spread over six levels connected to a lift. Between 2006 and 2008, the house was carefully restored, maintaining its original character. The facade, proportions and decorative elements form an exceptionally coherent architectural whole.

Received with view of the ponds The main living spaces are located on the bell-floor and offer the most spectacular perspectives of the house. From the salon at the front, the historic bow window provides a direct view of the Ponds of Ixelles. Then a double salon opens to the city garden, creating a succession of generous and at the same time intimate spaces. At garden level there is a professional kitchen with utility room and an elegant dining room with fireplace, which overlooks the garden. A library or cinema room with bathroom completes this level.

A house with many possibilities The upper floors offer remarkable flexibility, depending on the layout to seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. The first floor forms a full master suite with a spacious bedroom, dressing, bathroom and shower room. On the next two floors there are four bedrooms each with a private bathroom, one of which has a private terrace. The upper floor includes an additional bedroom, a bathroom and a laundry room. A versatile configuration that lends itself to both an exceptional family home and a residence designed to accommodate guests.

Heritage to the smallest detail The character of this house lies not only in its location or proportions, but also in the many carefully preserved details. Art-nouveau wroughtware, stained glass windows, woodwork, original joinery, molures and mosaics were preserved with great care. Already upon entry, the historical mosaics and the central staircase set the tone for a house in which ornament and architecture are inextricably linked. A wine cellar and a city garden at the back complete the whole. The house is currently being used as a guest house and will be free from 1 January 2027.
