Description

In the quiet Aaigemstraat, within walking distance of Gent-Sint-Pieters station, you'll find this contemporary home with a thoughtful layout and a distinctive architectural touch. The neighborhood has evolved in recent years into a dynamic and desirable residential area, with schools, parks, and local shops nearby. Designed as a grand apartment, the house combines practical living spaces with playful architecture and energy-efficient properties (EPC label B). On the ground floor, there's a spacious integral garage, complemented by a multipurpose room currently used as a guest apartment with a bedroom and bathroom. Ideal as a care unit, office space, or for a live-in student. You name it! The first floor forms the heart of the home: a bright living space with an open-plan stainless steel kitchen, where a wall of cabinets with yellow accents adds warmth and character. From here, you have direct access to the spacious sun terrace, a perfect spot for enjoying an aperitif in the evening sun or enjoying the tranquility of the city center. The second floor features two bedrooms, one smaller and the other a suite with a unique interplay of organic shapes, where the bedroom and bathroom seamlessly flow together. This home (206 m² of usable space) offers a rare combination of architecture, comfort, and energy efficiency – perfect for those who appreciate urban living with character, close to the city center yet on a quiet street.

owner speaks out

My favorite place in the house is the terrace, which can be used in sunny weather from March to November and gives the feeling of a calm, green oasis. The master suite, with its warm and intimate atmosphere, as well as the ground-floor shower equipped with an integrated infrared radiator, also provide extra comfort every day. I chose this home because I was already very familiar with the neighborhood and enjoyed living there. The proximity of the train station was important to me, as was the favorable solar orientation. I was looking for a contemporary home with a sense of warmth, which I found in the project by architects Defraeye & Vandervreken. The neighborhood offers many great addresses, such as Café Parti with its beautiful inner courtyard, the Spoorloos brasserie, the Limerick bookstore, and the packaging-free shop Ohne. For relaxation and physical activity, the Blaarmeersen are a major asset. What makes this location so special is the combination of peace and quiet, greenery, and proximity to the historic city center, as well as its excellent accessibility. I will certainly miss this pleasant, low-maintenance home, the friendly neighborhood, the neighbors, and the many transport and leisure options.
