On the Leuvensesteenweg in Kortenberg, just twelve kilometres from Brussels and ten kilometres from Leuven, stands this exceptional mansion with 541 m² of living space on a spacious plot of 2,961 m². The property forms part of an officially protected village streetscape and originated around the turn of the century in an eclectic style with neo-Gothic elements, as part of an ensemble of stately villas that attracted the affluent bourgeoisie of the time to Kortenberg.<br><br>Its architectural presence is unmistakable. The red-brick façade with round-arched windows and ornate brick detailing, the high ceilings with authentic mouldings, the marble floors and the preserved decorative fireplace give this property a character that new construction cannot match. In 1998 the building was fully converted into an office building with updated technical installations. The spaces are now bright and functional, while the heritage character has remained completely intact.<br><br>The south-facing orientation ensures maximum natural light and pleasant outdoor living. A very large terrace, an outbuilding and more than twelve parking spaces make the whole exceptionally complete for this location. The walled plot boundaries also provide the privacy that befits a property of this calibre.<br><br>What truly makes this mansion special is the combination of heritage value and contemporary flexibility. Both conversion into an exclusive single-family home and a multi-family development fall within the urban-planning possibilities. Kortenberg station is within walking distance and the E40 can be reached within minutes, meaning this property functions equally well as a family residence as it does as a strategic investment.<br><br>A property with this character, this floor surface and this potential rarely comes onto the market.
