Description
This exceptional residence for sale in Gent is a unique investment opportunity offered at the price of 795,000 €. The property comes with a lifelong lease contract, under which the current occupant—a 71-year-old seller—retains the right to live in the home indefinitely. During the first five years, no rent is required from the occupant; thereafter, a monthly rent of 2,500 € applies, subject to annual indexation according to legal provisions. This arrangement provides security for the investor, as the occupant acts as a reliable tenant and there is no need to search for one. The lifelong notarial lease can only be terminated by the tenant, ensuring a worry-free and stable investment in this prestigious, culturally significant property. This spacious and characterful city house spans a generous 283 m² of living space and features four bedrooms and four bathrooms, complemented by three toilets. The home is steeped in history, with a facade dating back to 1730 that has been carefully restored by renowned architect Dirk Steyaert. Protected as architectural heritage, the brick facade with its distinctive cornice tells a story of centuries past. Inside, original oak beams adorn the ceilings alongside two fireplaces and antique Burgundian terracotta tiles, all evoking the grandeur of stately townhouses from times gone by. The property benefits from multiple renovations while preserving its authentic soul, including a compliant electrical installation, an energy performance certificate rating of 265 kWh/m²/year, a renewed insulated roof installed in 1999 with Boom tiles, three condensing boilers for gas heating, and double-glazed window frames dating from 2010. Additionally, it offers a small city garden and an inner courtyard garden, providing tranquil outdoor spaces oriented southeast on a total plot of 135 m². Located in Gent city center (postcode 9000), this residence sits near cultural landmarks such as the Gravensteen castle and within walking distance of vibrant areas like Patershol and the historic Prinsenhof district. The house’s situation within a residential zone with cultural value underscores its heritage significance while offering an urban lifestyle rich in history. The property holds a cadastral income of 461 €, is not subject to pre-emptive rights, and is situated outside any flood risk zones. With no lift installed but featuring essential utilities including gas and water connections, this home represents not only a remarkable piece of Gent’s architectural heritage but also a sound financial opportunity. Interested parties are invited to contact the seller for further information or to arrange a viewing of this rare and distinguished residence.
