Herenhuis for sale in Tongeren-Borgloon

If you are looking for a mansion with character, space and a strong renovation potential, Markt 1 finds a special whole. This closed building combines six bedrooms with a garden, garage, cellar and exceptionally large attic. A property for those who are not afraid of a renovation and want to design a spacious city house completely to their own taste.

The house dates from before 1850 and is in state to renovate. A thorough restoration phase has already taken place between 2009 and 2013. With a living area of 346 m2 there is a lot of space available. The historic base and generous dimensions offer interesting possibilities for further renovation, combining contemporary living comfort with the existing character of the mansion.

On the ground floor the emphasis is on spacious living rooms that are beautifully interspersed. The living room has an area of 41,20 m2 and consequently forms a full central living space. Then there is a dining room of 13.32 m2. The kitchen measures 12.08 m2 and offers sufficient space to work out a practical kitchen design during the renovation. There is also a storage room of 6.55 m2. The different areas and circulation zones together provide a spacious ground floor, suitable for both daily family life and receiving guests.

The first floor is built according to the ground plan around a spacious central night hall. Here there are several bedrooms with different surfaces, allowing the floor to be flexibly furnished. The larger rooms are suitable as fully equipped bedrooms, while the more compact rooms can be used as children's rooms, guest rooms or workrooms. The layout of this floor makes it clear how much space this mansion is also above the living floor.

In total the house has six bedrooms and three toilets. This makes the property interesting for a large family or for buyers who consciously seek additional rooms for guests, homework or hobby dressing. After renovation, a house can be created in which each resident has sufficient space, without turning into the communal living quarters.

There is no shortage of storage space either. The basement has an area of 60.24 m2 and forms a considerable extra space underneath the house. On top of that the mansion has a large attic of no less than 136 m2. This area under the roof strengthens the spacious character of the property and offers additional potential for future implementation, depending of course on the necessary permits and technical possibilities.

The plot has an area of 6 arenas and has a north oriented garden. In the middle of the city, this outdoor space is a valuable addition to the generous interior surface. After an appropriate setting, a pleasant place to eat outside, let children play or enjoy the garden in peace. Think of a summer evening at a long table, with the living areas nearby and yet a private outdoor spot behind the house.

An additional asset is the presence of a garage. In combination with the storage room, basement and large attic the property consequently has a lot of functional space next to the actual living rooms.
