Characterful Engineer's House

This characterful engineer’s house from 1939 is located at Gentweg 14 in Evergem, on an exceptionally spacious plot of more than 10,000 m². The property is situated in a green environment, characterized by historical industrial heritage, and enjoys a unique combination of space, tranquility, and privacy. In 2018, the house was thoroughly renovated, respecting its original architecture and authentic character.
The stately architecture is complemented by high-quality finishes, generous living spaces, and a thoughtful layout. Authentic elements, including the original wooden staircase, distinctive parquet floors, and a remarkable fireplace by Joris Van Apers, have been harmoniously combined with contemporary materials. The large windows and carefully rounded window sills ensure optimal natural light, while the light-filled orangery provides a pleasant connection between the living areas and the garden. The refined use of materials is also evident in the kitchen, featuring a green marble countertop by Joris Van Apers.
On a technical level, the house has been modernized. A heat pump boiler, underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom, wall insulation, and 14 solar panels contribute to contemporary living comfort.
The expansive and meticulously maintained garden is an absolute asset of this property. The green domain includes an orchard and an impressive Lebanese cedar over 100 years old, which gives the whole a unique character. Thanks to the existing irrigation system and two boreholes, maintaining the garden is made easier. The green surroundings serve as a pleasant extension of the house and provide an exceptional sense of space and privacy.
On the property, there are two separate outbuildings. The spacious barn features 14 solar panels on the roof and an outdoor shower. Additionally, there is a garage building of approximately 93 m² with space for four cars. The spacious driveway also offers ample parking for multiple vehicles.
The combination of authentic architecture, refined materials, seven bedrooms, generous living spaces, and an exceptionally green domain makes this property a remarkable family home with a distinctive character.
