BRUSSELS
AUDERGHEM - Pétillon
Just steps from Pétillon, in a sought-after neighborhood in eastern Brussels, within walking distance of Collège Saint-Michel, the European School Brussels III, ULB, and Chirec Hospital (Delta), and in the immediate vicinity of all amenities (metro, shops, schools, etc.).
Located on a quiet one-way street, this charming Art Deco house—listed in the architectural inventory of Brussels' heritage—was built in 1932 by Belgian architect François Mees and measures 234 m² (according to the energy performance certificate).
The property makes an immediate impression with its elegant late Art Deco façade, enhanced by modernist elements and adorned with white bas-reliefs featuring naturalistic motifs and exquisite stained-glass windows. Spanning three levels with a multitude of rooms, the interior offers flexible layout possibilities; officially, the property is classified as a two-unit residence (easily convertible into a single-family home). It has retained a wealth of period features, including magnificent colored stained-glass windows, pitch pine interior woodwork, and pink marble fireplace mantels. Situated on a plot of approximately 220 m² (according to land registry records), it boasts a lovely south-east-facing garden of around 155 m².
With its elegant Art Deco façade, beautifully preserved period features, and versatile layout—currently serving as a multi-unit property comprising a private residence and student rentals—this home offers a unique opportunity to create a modern living space while enhancing the elegance of a historic property. It also boasts a charming south-east-facing city garden.
