House for sale in Turnhout

A house that makes us quiet for a while.

Such a masterpiece that reminds us why we like to do what we do. Not just another 13-in-a-dozen house, and that's just its power. A house with a story. Literally.

Butrr? These types of houses are often a real project, because they are threatened with extinction. And therefore often not a simple project, where you have to be surrounded by specialists. Best of all? In this case, the owners have already done that for you. A total renovation. Not just with common sense, but with an eye for detail. And most importantly, with a soul.

Almost everything has been tackled in recent years. Old photos revisited to bring it back to its original glory. And oh boy, that worked out fantastic. Check those delicious windows, with their authentic stained glass and striking colors. The green natural slates on the roof, the details in the façade, the successful search for the perfect tile, the hip-but-but-but-old-fashioned switches, etc.

And now it's being sold. Why, do you wonder? Because the residents now live abroad. After a new adventure, they leave their dream home behind. And so we're going to find a new match. (For in this story a buyer sounds almost disrespectful).

We'd really like to invite you to come feel this house sometime. Because that's how it's supposed to be with houses like this. But to give you an idea, we're doing a short round:

Ground floor: Entrance hall, large living and dining room with an open kitchen. This gives access to a utility room / breakfast corner and a laundry room. Next to the living room, there is another room ideal as a desk or games room and a guest toilet. Underneath the living and dining room is a spacious basement.

First floor: Three bedrooms of which two are all large, and a first bathroom with shower.

Second floor: Two spacious bedrooms, one was already fully finished for you and a second bathroom with bathtub.

The garden fits the house: romantic, yet clear, with trees and bushes full of edible fruits. A lovely sunny covered terrace and finally a garage / barn.

A brief overview of what was being tackled structurally? Elektra (approved until 2043), all sanitary facilities incl. pipes and heating system with solar boiler, roof and floor insulation, windows with double glazing, drainage with rainwater wells, roof incl. roof frames, etc. And then we keep quiet about the inside. But that goes without saying. Come in, feel and enjoy.

And another interesting fact to close with? This house is . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Curious how they describe them there?
