Villa De Maretak – A piece of history in Kapellenbos

Built in 1911 after a project by architect Florent Van Reeth, Villa De Maretak was built as a country residence for the Antwerp Muls family. Its name refers to their urban villa "De Maretak" located at Vleminckveld. Subsequent renovations have helped to preserve this rich history and look.

On a beautifully appointed plot of 16,629 m2, this villa of character is a real sight. Authentic architecture, with its tower with its characteristic stubble roof, gives the house a unique and timeless look. All around you enjoy a mature garden, a swimming pool and an exceptional waterfront location. A rare property where historical charm, space and nature meet clearly. The house welcomes you in a large entrance hall with empty, natural stone floor and an elegant staircase that immediately sets the tone. From there, living spaces naturally flow. The living room, with its warm parquet floors, exposed ceiling beams and fireplace, is the heart of the house and, thanks to its large bays, maintains a permanent link with the garden. In the extension there is a second living space, ideal as a TV room or family room.

The dining room, installed in the round tower full of character, offers a superb view of the surrounding greenery and gives direct access to the terraces. The separate kitchen, designed in a practical way, enjoys abundant natural light and is a pleasant place for everyday use.

The first floor has been arranged in a comfort for the whole family. The parental suite, located in the characteristic tower of the house, is the central point. Thanks to its generous surface area, circular plan and ensuite bathroom, this room has its own identity. This floor also includes two large bedrooms, each with its private bathroom and direct access to a balcony with garden views. A thoughtful distribution offering every room comfort and privacy, without losing the family character of the house.

The house also has a large cellar, currently furnished in home cinema and including the technical premises.

The attic is already equipped with a fourth bathroom and still offers the possibility to create two additional bedrooms. In addition, this floor lends itself perfectly to a hobby space, a children's floor or a home office.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the main assets of this property. A thoughtful landscaping combines perfectly maintained hedges, mature trees, large lawns and several terraces in an outdoor space that is revealed in all seasons. The different terraces invite you to enjoy the sun, shade and surrounding greenery at any time.

The plot extends to an idyllic pond, which gives the garden an exceptional depth and a park look. The garages, wide driveway with roundabout and carefully arranged exterior spaces complete the whole. A setting where peace, privacy and nature combine harmoniously.
