Living and working under one roof, in the bustling center of Mechelen: That's what this characterful trading property on Befferstraat 15 has to offer. The building dates back to 1756 and breathes history, but combines this with a practical layout that lends itself to a combination of commercial activity and living. With a plot width of almost 6 meters and a depth of 12 meters, this property offers a surprisingly spacious living area of 209 m2, spread over a land area of 68 m2. The layout of the property offers many possibilities thanks to the commercial destination on the ground floor, ideal for a shop, office or office space with street view. Above you will find the private living areas, with plenty of bedrooms and a bathroom to live comfortably. The rear construction was renovated in 2009, which provides a fresh addition to the historical character of the front part of the house. The property is currently in a state requiring modernisation, offering a great opportunity to put your own stamp on this centrally located property. Plans are available, which facilitates the further development of your renovation project. The location is an absolute asset: Shops are only 50 metres away, a public transport stop is also 50 metres away, and schools can be reached on foot within 150 metres.
