villa for sale in Knokke-Heist

In a quiet street of the residential area of Westkapelle Oost villas is this particularly spacious family villa, located on an exceptional plot of about 1,500 m2. The land includes two old lots to build for villas and thus offers what is becoming increasingly rare in the region: space. Space to live, enjoy the outside and above all continue to build the house according to its own vision.

The original villa was thoroughly transformed in 2016. Traditional architecture has been largely redesigned and combined with a resolutely contemporary extension. New aluminum windows, integrated screens, a new office and a completely new floor of about 150 m2 changed the character and scale of the house. The technical and energy aspects have also been completely reviewed. A heated swimming pool has also been set up. During a later phase, the garden was completed, the plot fully fenced and an automated access portal installed.

The house now offers a meeting between the character of the original dwelling and the interventions carried out in 2016. Some items were voluntarily retained, while others were reinterpreted. The result is not a final outcome, but rather a vast canvas offering exceptional potential to those who want to further customize a large family home.

The entrance hall, with its original dressing room, leads to the living part of the ground floor. The separate guest toilets still evoke the original house by their vintage appearance. The large living room enjoys abundant natural light thanks to its large bay windows and opens directly onto the south-facing terrace and garden. The original parquet floor has been carefully refreshed and brings more warmth and character to the room.

The spacious kitchen with dining area and existing Poggenpohl kitchen is located in the extension of the living room. Functional today, it also offers all the possibilities for those who would like to later develop a more personal and contemporary cuisine.

The independent office on the ground floor is an interesting addition made in 2016. With its polished concrete floor and large sliding bays, this room has a strong character. Thanks to its direct access from the front parking area, it is ideal for home office, office, workshop or work at home.

The night hall on the ground floor leads to two bedrooms. The master bedroom has direct access to the terrace and is complemented by an ensuite bathroom. This floor also includes a second bathroom and a separate dressing room. The original staircase leading to the first floor has also been preserved.

Upstairs unfolds the vast extension realized in 2016. This level, with a new parquet floor laid in 2026, includes a night hall, four particularly spacious and functional bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate shower room and a large technical and storage room. The bathroom and shower room still need to be finalized; all technical installations are already present. The future owner therefore has the freedom to choose materials, sanitary equipment and the atmosphere himself.

Outside, too, space is the driving thread. The large garden surrounds the house and offers plenty of privacy as well as various possibilities to enjoy the outdoor life. In the center is the heated swimming pool with ceramic hull, controlled by Wi-Fi and heated by a heat pump. The vast south-facing terrace is the natural extension of living spaces.

At the back is a large garden shelter, which is part of the construction of an authorized pool house of approximately 60 m2 in total, currently only partially completed. A playful wooden structure for children was also integrated around the original pine. Several parking spaces are provided at the front and the built-in garage can accommodate two cars.

The renovation has also been the subject of significant technical investments. The house has a central natural gas heating with two separately adjustable circuits: floor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the floor as well as in the office. The aluminum windows of the south and west facades, both upstairs and on the ground floor, are equipped with integrated screens. Water, natural gas and electricity have digital meters.

The water parts are equipped with mechanical extraction, while the rooms have permanent static ventilation. Waste water is discharged via a septic tank, to which are also connected the garden shelter and the future pool house. A large rainwater tank is also present. The structure of the annex and the new floor was made in laminated-glued wood construction by Derix GmbH, with external insulation and facade slatting.

This villa is intended primarily for those who place more emphasis on space and potential than on a predefined final result. With six bedrooms, large living areas, an independent office, a double garage, a swimming pool and about 1,500 m2 of land, the base is exceptionally spacious. At the same time, there are still enough opportunities to perfect the interior and complete some parts.

A house full of history, deeply transformed and especially bearing a beautiful future, on a particularly spacious plot in the residential area of Westkapelle Oost.
