The building at Van Breestraat 98 has a rich architectural history. Originally built in 1905, it is part of the classic urban development of the Museum Quarter at the beginning of the twentieth century. The architecture is rooted in the late neo-Renaissance style: brick facades with refined ornamentation, tall windows, and a balanced vertical articulation. In 1923, the facade was modified to accommodate a meat hall and smokehouse, a change that remains subtly visible in the streetscape. This transformation added a layer of urban functionality to the building without compromising its original symmetry and dimensions. The interplay of old and newer elements makes the façade visually interesting: a modest composition in which craftsmanship and adaptation go hand in hand. The staircase to the upper apartment was redesigned in 1988, giving the building its current layout. Nevertheless, many original elements have been preserved, from the façade structure to the rhythm of the window frames. You can still feel that layering: a house that has grown over time without losing its character. What is striking is the tranquility of the whole. No excessive ornamentation, but rather refinement in proportion and detail. The façade blends seamlessly into the homogeneous streetscape of Van Breestraat, where unity and nuance reinforce each other.
The living area unfolds as a bright, understated composition. An elongated space that stretches from facade to facade, with large windows and French doors to the balconies on either side. The front of the house exudes tranquility: a comfortable sitting area bathed in the soft light filtered through the stained glass. The greenery of the street serves as a natural backdrop. Also at the front is a pleasant study, which can be accessed from the living room and/or hall. The dining area is located at the heart of the home. It is spacious, inviting, and visually connected to both the living room and the kitchen. The wooden floor runs uninterrupted, reinforcing the unity of the space. The kitchen has an efficient and open design, with a practical L-shaped layout at the rear. Sleek white fronts, a dark worktop, and a large window above the sink provide brightness and light. The hall also has a separate toilet and cloakroom.
The sleeping floor offers peace, balance, and a clear layout with four full-size Rooms, spread across the front and rear of the house. At the front are two bright bedrooms, both with double windows and a pleasant view of the green street. The largest room on this side is ideal as a master bedroom, with space for a king-size bed, wardrobe, and a sitting area. At the rear, there are two more Rooms similar quality. The room with a workspace shows that these spaces can also be used multifunctionally, as a children's room, guest room, or home office. The central landing is lit from above by a skylight and provides access not only to the Rooms but also to the spacious bathroom. This is equipped with a bathtub, separate walk-in shower, double sink, and a separate toilet, making it a complete and comfortable family bathroom.
The apartment has a balcony at both the front and rear, allowing you to enjoy the sun at any time of the day. In addition, in accordance with the deed of division, there is the possibility of Roof terrace a Roof terrace , subject to obtaining the necessary environmental permit from the Local authority .
