House for sale

Cubist volume by arch. Marc Dessauvage

Close to the Arboretum and the Kalmthoutse Heide - a blissful place for nature lovers, ideal for long walks. The cosy Kalmthout-Dorp is also within cycling or walking distance. Working or shopping in Antwerp? The train takes you there in less than half an hour. Central on the plot, with closed frontage and the main entrance on the right, you will find this cubist masterpiece by Flemish architect Marc Dessauvage. He was one of the leading architects of the Brutalism movement. This imposing house, to be renovated, is a perfect blend of abstract architecture and the brutalism of the 1960s. Sober and sleek, the work blends seamlessly with its soothing green surroundings. As you enter, the level difference between the dining area and the lounge, with semi-separate seating area by the fireplace, immediately catches the eye. To the right you will find the guest toilet and the enclosed kitchen. The lovely, south-facing garden and the large terrace offer you all the outdoor space you need in summer for lunch, parties or romping around with the (grand)children. The beautiful, open staircase in wood takes you to the 1st floor with 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. In the master bedroom, the sloping roof creates a pleasant feeling of space. The original bathroom tiles in baby blue immediately catapult you back to the sixties. On the 2nd floor you will find two more bedrooms. Finally, the stairs on the ground floor lead to the spacious garage and extra storage space.
