Behind this monumental facade is a mansion that effortlessly combines its history with a surprising amount of living space. The mansion, designed by architect Edward Careels, built in neo-Flemish serenaissance style and dated 1892, was recognized as a protected monument for its artistic value and stands out by its pronounced architecture, generous rooms and characterful details. At the back, the very green garden with swimming pool forms an unexpectedly quiet decor with this stately whole. The location in the heart of Zandhoven completes the picture: shops, bakery, catering, public transport and daily amenities are located at a short distance, allowing many trips to be easily on foot or by bike. At the same time, the nearby E313 and E34 provide a smooth connection to Antwerp and the surrounding municipalities. This location combines the convenience of living in the village centre with a particularly pleasant private outdoor space behind the house. Classification The stately entrance hall is the central starting point of the house and gives access to the various living spaces. On the street side is the very spacious living room with dining area, which continues to the back to the bright veranda making a nice connection to the garden. Furthermore, it has a separate dining room next to the kitchen and laundry room, but also a desk with adjacent archive. These extra rooms make the house particularly interesting for those who want to combine living and working under one roof. Via a hall you also reach a spacious hobby room/extra desk, the technical area of the pool and the indoor garage. The garden is without doubt one of the surprises of this house. Behind the historic façade there is a well-kept, green outdoor area with spacious terraces, pergola and swimming pool, surrounded by mature vegetation that provides a pleasant private atmosphere. An automatic gate at the back of the plot offers direct access to the garden and provides extra practical convenience. On the first floor there are 3 fully equipped bedrooms, a dressing and two bathrooms. The second and third floor together form a particularly spacious duplex area with a large living room, private kitchen and bathroom, a character tower room and on the top level another bedroom. This creates an almost self-contained living area that lends itself perfectly as a guesthouse, home office or own place for growing children and teenagers. There is no shortage of storage space: the house has a spacious wine cellar and numerous additional functional areas. Particularities With its 20 solar panels, exceptional surface area, four bedrooms, different living and working areas, indoor garage, swimming pool and separately usable duplex area, this property offers a flexibility that rarely occurs. Especially the combination of the historic facade, the enclosed green garden and the surprisingly versatile layout makes the whole special.
