Huis for sale in Sint-Truiden

Stately house with exceptional space, character and possibilities right in the center of Sint-Truiden. On the Tongersesteenweg 17, right in the center of Sint-Truiden, is this stately house from 1967. Behind the earlier sober façade is a surprisingly spacious property with a living area of no less than 496 m2, located on a plot of 10a 10ca. This is not a classic family home, but a property with volume, appearance and especially many possibilities for those looking for space, character and a home that can be reinvented entirely according to their own taste and contemporary standards. The house requires a thoughtful renovation and a contemporary refreshment, but just there lies its great strength. Those looking through the existing finishes will discover an impressive base with generous living spaces, high ceilings, plenty of light, an exceptionally deep layout and a surprisingly spacious garden in full center position. This is a house that today still exudes the atmosphere and grandeur of its construction period, but at the same time has all the assets to become a particularly stylish city house with contemporary comfort. Upon entering, the spacious entrance hall gives a first impression of the volume of the house. From this hall there is access to the guest toilet and the various living areas. The living and dining room together form a very generous living space, where large windows, broad lines of vision and the connection to the terrace provide a pleasant and open feeling. The living area opens directly onto an impressive terrace of over 40 m2, which flows inside and outside in a natural way. Especially in combination with the deep garden behind this is an absolute added value, and that in a location so close to the center. At the front of the house there is currently a separate desk space. Interesting to mention is that the wall between this desk and the living room pertains to a gyprocwand. This can be removed relatively easily, creating not only an even larger living space, but also additional light from the front facade. This allows one to easily commemorate the existing layout and to create an impressive open living space, fully adapted to the way one likes to live today. Following the living room is the kitchen. This is functional, but no longer fits current housing standards and will probably be included in a future renovation. Just that offers the opportunity to realize a spacious, modern kitchen with direct contact to the outside. From the kitchen there is access to a second terrace of approximately 21 m2 and to the garden. That garden is without doubt one of the great surprises of this house. In full center location you can enjoy a striking green and spacious plot, with mature planting, privacy and enough space to create different outdoor areas. Such an outdoor space, coupled with a house of this size, is rather rare in the center of Sint-Truiden. On the first floor, the sense of space continues. The night hall gives access to as many as five bedrooms, making this floor particularly suitable for a large family or for those who want extra rooms such as dressing, hobby room, desk or guest room. Furthermore there is a bathroom with bath, toilet and two sinks, a separate toilet and an additional laundry room with bath. From this laundry room there is also access to a terrace, which again underlines the special character and surprising layout of this house. One of the most striking elements is at basement level. The house has an exceptionally spacious basement floor, with according to the ground plan a gross area of approximately 215 m2 and a net area of approximately 188 m2. This floor offers a lot of possibilities and is perfect for those who dream of a mancave, hobby room, relaxation room, wine cellar, gym, storage room or a combination of them. In this basement there is also a former indoor pool of 8 x 4 meters, which has not been in use for years. At the moment a floor was laid over the cockpit and this space is practically used as a basement space. Again, the house invites to think creatively about the possibilities it has to offer. The house has EPC label D and is heated through a natural gas boiler, which was recently renewed in April 2025. There is no garage available, but on the other side of the street there is the possibility to purchase an optional parking space. Given its central location, this is of course an interesting additional asset. The location is without doubt one of the strengths of this property. Living on the Tongersesteenweg means living within walking distance of the center of Sint-Truiden, with shops, schools, public transport, catering and all daily amenities nearby. At the same time, the house at the back offers a surprising feeling of space and tranquility, with terraces and a deep garden that one would not expect in this location. This property targets buyers who are not looking for standard but potential. It deserves a thorough renovation and a new version, but on the other hand there is an exceptional volume, a central location, a large plot, a spacious garden, five bedrooms, several outdoor areas and a basement floor which in itself offers a lot of possibilities. As a generous family home, combination of living and working, stately town house, practical home or renovation project with character: The basis is there to make this something unique. Those who like space, character, authentic volumes and the chance to remember a property entirely to their own taste, find the Tongersesteenweg 17 a property with rare potential. This is a house that requires a bit of imagination today, but therefore offers the possibility to make it a very personal and impressive living story. Are you looking for a spacious house with character, a top location and the possibility to make it your own home? Then this stately house in Sint-Truiden is definitely worth a visit.
