Bold 70s brutalism by Roger Vanhoof with large garden Eetveldstraat 4, 1980 Zemst

—Ref. 7207551

Rural Eppegem, near Zemst in Flemish Brabant. Just 16 km from central Brussels, close to Mechelen and with two train stations nearby – a major benefit for commuters. Lovely walking routes, such as the Zenne Meanders Trail, lead along quiet paths to the Wormelaar domain and Daelemansbos. Restaurant De Schranshoeve, with playground, is even within walking distance. Green, safe and easily accessible living: the ideal balance between city and nature.

Roger Vanhoof is one of the architects who reshaped housing in the 60s–70s. This very well-kept semi-detached home reflects his pure, uncompromising brutalism.

Entrance hall with cloakroom and guest toilet. On the left, a separate office ideal for home-working or a freelance practice, also accessible via a sliding door from the living room. A glass door leads to the bright sitting area with stone carpet flooring and large windows that bring in generous light. The rear dining room overlooks the garden with striking artworks. Rounded details, concrete accents and a fine view toward the stainless-steel Bulthaup kitchen (2002). Behind the kitchen: shower room, laundry and built-ins. Cellar and large double garage.

Upstairs: three bedrooms, two with a small terrace, and a bathroom. Attic via retractable stairs, offering extra potential.
Brutalism in its purest form for true enthusiasts.
