Characterful villa in Schoonzicht

Nestled in the quiet Schoonzicht neighbourhood of Winksele stands this striking 1960s villa, built in an era when construction was synonymous with solidity, space and individuality. The architecture and finishes of that decade have been carefully preserved, giving the property a distinctive character and identity that is difficult to replicate.

With a living area of 264 m² spread across two floors, this home offers all the space you need to live in true comfort. The villa is laid out so that all living and sleeping areas are on the same level: four full bedrooms and a bathroom, complemented by a versatile space on the ground floor that lends itself to a variety of uses — home office, hobby room or guest suite. The underground cellar and garage round off the property with ample functional space.

The 9a94 plot is perfectly south-facing, ensuring optimal natural light throughout the year and a sun-drenched garden. Situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and bordering a large agricultural area, the property offers exceptional privacy and tranquillity. Both the front and rear of the home enjoy open, green views — a true rarity in this sought-after region.

The villa is in need of renovation to bring it fully up to contemporary living standards, and this is precisely what makes it so compelling: the opportunity to reimagine an authentic gem with an undeniable soul, entirely according to your own taste and vision, in a location that rewards every effort many times over.

Schoonzicht is ideally positioned between Leuven and Brussels: the city centre of Leuven is reachable in approximately 15 minutes, Brussels in around 25 minutes, and Brussels Airport in approximately 20 minutes. Quick access to the E40 and E314 motorways makes commuting efficient and comfortable — an address that radiates calm, while keeping the world well within reach.

Engel & Völkers would be delighted to guide you through this unique journey.
