Beaux-arts villa with a swimming pool and spacious garden Stationsstraat 118, 9260 Wichelen

—Ref. 7675127

Living between Ghent and Aalst in the heart of Schellebelle, with Wetteren, the Kalkense Meersen and the Scheldt in the immediate vicinity. Schellebelle station is within walking distance, at the end of the street.

With its striking mansard roof, natural stone cladding and many authentic Beaux-Arts features, Villa Mon Rêve is a striking presence on the streetscape of Schellebelle. This villa was built in 1932, commissioned by the Dandoy-De Waele family. The unique design is by Ghent architect Georges Merlé.

Large entrance hall. Beautiful study with stunning, original parquet flooring. Open the stylish double doors to connect with the living area, or close them for a more secluded workspace. At the rear, a lovely reading nook with a cosy stove and a wide window offering pleasant views of the greenery. Adjacent is the sun-drenched dining area, next to which is the semi-separate kitchen, renovated in 2013. The property has a full basement, including a utility room and even an old kitchen and shower.

An elegant staircase leads to the first floor, with three bedrooms – each featuring the same authentic herringbone parquet flooring and beautiful stained-glass details – and the bathroom with double washbasin, bath and toilet.
