Art Deco Garden Apartment with Fireplace near EU Institutions

Description

This elegant one-bedroom furnished apartment has been fully renovated in a refined Art Deco–contemporary style, with great attention to craftsmanship, durability, and quality of life. Designed by an architect, it reflects a thoughtful approach to living that values sustainability, comfort, and beauty in everyday spaces. As a professor working in the field of circular economy, construction, and architecture, I have approached the renovation of this apartment with the intention of creating a home that is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also durable, functional, and respectful of materials and resources. Many elements have been carefully restored, reused, or custom-made, favoring long-lasting solutions over short-term trends. The apartment is located in a lively yet calm and safe neighborhood of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, offering an excellent balance between urban life and comfort. More than 200 shops, cafés, and daily services are within walking distance, as well as the Stockel metro station (line 1) and tram 39. Universities, research centers, and European institutions are easily accessible in approximately 15 minutes door-to-door, making this an ideal base for visiting academics and professionals. Apartment highlights: - Architect-designed renovation with high-quality, durable finishes - Custom furniture crafted by a Swiss-based artisan, designed to last - Very luminous living spaces with restored herringbone parquet flooring - Warm living room with a working fireplace, ideal for reading and reflection - Large solid-wood kitchen, fully equipped and comfortable for daily cooking - High-end coffee machine and all useful utensils available - Private southwest-facing garden, sunny and peaceful, extending the living space outdoors - Private laundry room and private cellar - Bedroom with acoustic door so that your partner can still play music in the living room while you have your siesta - Air conditioning and heat pump for energy-efficient year-round comfort The apartment offers a calm and focused atmosphere, despite being in a vibrant neighborhood. The quality of the materials, comfort, and generous natural light make it particularly well suited for writing, creative work, research, and longer stays. Internet can be adapted according to the tenant’s needs. A professional cleaning service is available monthly. This home has been designed for people who appreciate thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and a sense of place. It is especially well suited for academics, researchers, and creatives looking for a comfortable, inspiring, and well-connected home during a sabbatical or extended stay in Brussels.
