Description

Elegant Townhouse with Garden and Artist’s Studio in the Heart of Upper Saint-Gilles

Ideally located in the sought-after upper part of Saint-Gilles, close to shops, offices, and public transport, this distinguished townhouse from 1896 is offered exclusively. Designed by architect Hubert De Kock and listed on the Brussels Inventory of Architectural Heritage, it showcases the elegance of neoclassical style and presents a rare renovation opportunity.

Set on a plot of 223 m², the property comprises a main house offering approximately 206 m² of net internal living space, a courtyard garden (45 m²) and a stunning artist’s studio of 110 m² located at the rear of the garden, in the heart of the block. The total built area amounts to around 487 m².

The townhouse features a 7-meter street frontage, with access via a charming carriage entrance on the right-hand side. The property has been featured in design publications — including as an “Urban Green House” — and is considered an iconic expression of 20th-century interior style, shaped by the unique creative vision of its last occupant.

Layout:

• Ground floor: carriage entrance leading to the garden, entrance hall with original staircase; to the left, a spacious front kitchen (18 m²) and a dining room at the rear.
• Mezzanine level: guest bathroom with shower, washbasin, and toilet.
• First and second floors: three rooms per level, including two facing the street (18.5 m² and 7 m²), and a large rear room (20.5 m²) used as an office or bedroom.
• Third floor: front-facing bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a convertible attic with a mezzanine space.
• Basement: two large rooms used as laundry and boiler rooms, two additional cellars, and a hallway.

Outdoor spaces:

A charming courtyard garden features painted cement tiles, lawn, and planting areas, leading to a magnificent artist’s studio. Built in 1952, the studio includes 80 m² at garden level and an additional 30 m² upstairs. It benefits from generous natural light thanks to large windows and a rooftop glass canopy. Subject to planning approval, the studio offers potential for use as a secondary residence, creative workspace, or office.

Additional features:

• Single-glazed wooden window frames
• Gas heating (Buderus boiler)
• Possibility to extend or convert the studio for residential use, subject to planning consent

This characterful property offers charm, potential, and an exceptional location in one of Brussels’ most vibrant neighbourhoods.
