Description

Stylish living in coveted Koningshof, quiet in the green and yet close to schools, shops and arterial roads.

Behind a discreet entrance lies this unique architect's house, designed in 1964 by the renowned Paul Meekels and completely rebuilt in 2002 to the original plan, with contemporary interventions by architects Haverhals & Heylen. A house with an unusual floor plan, created with great passion: the new volume rests on a steel structure above the original house.
Triangular shape, huge sliding windows and multiple terraces create an unparalleled indoor-outdoor experience. Extension in 2016 with natural stone cladding. High-quality materials, such as padouk and kambala, provide a warm finish.

Entrance hall with staircase, cloakroom and guest toilet. Two livings, iconic fireplace, office and living kitchen, separated by the pantry. Above that, a floating floor with three bedrooms, air conditioning, central plumbing and external steel cabinets, highlighting the architectural signature. Multifunctional wing from 2016 (by AS architects) with separate entrance, third living room, office, bedroom and bathroom at +1 - the ideal setting for live-work combo, kangaroo living or cohousing.

Blessed, south-facing garden (2023) with lush planting, terraces, illuminated garden paths, garden house (with cellar) and natural pond. Thanks to 24 solar panels, separate water circuit, renovated kitchen and central heating, this house is also completely safe for the future.

owner speaks out

In this house, you experience every season very intensely and from every angle. This is not just a house, it is more than that, a house with a soul, a unique place to love. The many living spaces, the lush plants, the books, the inspiring art on the walls ... You can keep exploring every nook and cranny, and each time you get new impressions. It is blissful sleeping in the spacious rooms and the cosy kitchen invites you to enjoy cooking and a moment of togetherness.
The garden full of old trees and rhododendrons is a paradise. Birds, squirrels, bees, butterflies and other animals are frequent guests. You can blissfully enjoy the sitting area on the terrace. The old swimming pool has been transformed into a pond with lilies and salamanders. In summer you live outside, where the large trees in and around the plot provide shade.
A place that invites you to stay, although for us the time has now come to leave this special place. We have been very happy here with our children for 25 years. Wonderful times!
