200m2 + 4 bedrooms


This home has just been completely renovated and immediately charms with its high ceilings (4 meters on the ground floor and 3 meters on the first floor), authentic features, and excellent location between the canal and Brusselsepoort. With an EPC score of 29 kWh/m² (A-label), it is highly energy-efficient and equipped with a heat pump (for both heating and air conditioning). The roof has been completely replaced (and, of course, insulated), and all walls have also been insulated. Naturally, the electrical system has been fully updated (and brought up to code). We enter through a spacious, wide entry hall (ideal for bicycles, scooters, a spacious coat closet, shoes, etc.) with charming floor tiles. Tall steel doors lead us into the living area with hardwood floors, which is very bright thanks to large windows and a skylight. The kitchen is open-concept, adjacent to the living area, and fully equipped. From the living area, there’s access to a city garden with a terrace. The original wooden staircase leads to the first floor, which features two bedrooms and a bathroom with a toilet, shower, and double sink. On the second and top floor, there are two more bedrooms, each with a playful mezzanine—perfect for a desk or a cozy sleeping area. The home has a nearly full basement, which offers a practical laundry area (with washing machine connections) as well as plenty of storage space.
Because the home is located—admittedly within the paid parking zone but right on its edge—it’s easy to park on the street with a resident’s permit, often even right in front of the door (most cars park just outside the paid zone along the canal). The home is ideally situated between the canal (great for walking or biking) and the Brussels Gate, which offers direct access to Mechelen’s charming city center.
