Renovated Family Home by the Dijle – EPC A Vaartstraat 145, 3000 Leuven

—Ref. 6373951

The name says it all: Vaartstraat is located near Leuven’s Vaartkom, home to trendy breakfast bars and restaurants like Madmum and Florida Food Bar. Just around the corner, you’ll find Sluispark, De Hoorn, and the historic brewing kettles of Stella Artois. Leuven’s city center, Vismarkt, and the coziest shopping street, ‘de Mechelse,’ are also within walking distance.

This listed townhouse was fully renovated in 2022 by its current owner-architect. A meticulous, high-quality renovation brought the home to a level of modern comfort (EPC A, heat pump, ventilation system D, underfloor heating, etc.) while preserving the authenticity of the centuries-old building. The choice of materials stands out for its quality and sustainability: real terrazzo (flooring and bathroom furniture), oak (parquet and cabinets), steel (doors and staircase), and stainless steel (kitchen).

The entrance hall features a guest toilet, a cloakroom, and a hallway with a view of the garden at the back. To the left is the well-equipped kitchen. A few steps up, the dining room exudes an intimate restaurant-like atmosphere. At the rear, the completely new living room extension boasts a three-part sliding window with slim aluminum profiles, flooding the space with natural light. The low-maintenance garden, designed by landscape architect Stefan Morael, includes multiple terraces, with highlights such as the riverside terrace at the back and a lush grapevine.

On the first floor: an office with garden views, a technical/laundry room, two children's bedrooms with a shower room, and a separate toilet. On the second floor: a master suite with an en-suite bathroom and a hotel-like ambiance. A delightful surprise: a wine cellar on the basement level.

Purchase of a double garage with plenty of storage and a charging station available nearby for 120.000 euros.
