Description
Designed by the famous architect Henry van de Velde and commissioned by the jeweller Raymond Wolfers, this exceptional modernist residence was built in 1929 in the Place Brugmann and Avenue Lepoutre district. Set in a plot of 4.84 acres, this house, spread over 4 levels of around 200 m² each (for a total gross floor area of around 800 m²), stands majestically with its cascading terraces in the heart of a garden created by landscape architect Jacques Boucher. Known as the Hôtel Wolfers since it was built, this residence has been meticulously maintained and has preserved most of its original features, offering a refined setting for architecture enthusiasts. Listed since 1983 and included in the architectural heritage inventory, the 'Hôtel Wolfers' stands out not only for its unique architectural character, but also for the scale of its spaces and the quality of its finishes. On the ground floor, past the entrance hall and pantry, through doors that were once silver-leafed, there is a succession of three spacious lounges with solid oak parquet flooring. A light-filled staircase leads up to the first floor, where the master suite opens onto a pleasant terrace, with en suite bathroom/shower room. Two further bedrooms and a kitchen complete this floor. The second floor offers four bedrooms, a bathroom and a bright sports room with cork flooring, opening onto an unoverlooked terrace. On the mezzanine level, the kitchen opens onto an English courtyard with views over the garden. Other features include a dumbwaiter, laundry room, boiler room, numerous cellars and a double garage. Place Brugmann is renowned for its quality of life, offering a quiet, leafy environment surrounded by shops and restaurants. Public transport is easily accessible, and the district is close to several renowned educational establishments. For further information, please contact Jean Marc Delcroix on + 32 (0) 474 74 08 07.
