Residence for sale
1030 Schaarbeek
This remarkable 19th-century mansion, listed in Brussels’ architectural heritage inventory, is believed to have been built for Baron Ludovic de Hody and originally included stables. Its generous proportions, mouldings and impressive ceiling heights give it a rare character in the heart of Brussels. Ideally located between Marie Louise Square and the Royal Palace district, close to the European institutions, the property enjoys a central and sought-after setting, combining residential, institutional and historic surroundings. Offering approximately 400 m² behind a 6.5 m-wide façade, the house features spacious interiors across several levels and a rear garden—an exceptional asset in the centre of the capital. The property will appeal both to private buyers seeking a prestigious character residence and to investors looking for a high-potential project. It was recently operated as tourist accommodation, generating around €200,000 in annual revenue, although this potential remains subject to assessment. The current configuration differs in certain respects from the available plans, and several planning irregularities should be anticipated. The purchaser will need to assess the possibilities for regularisation and the required permits according to the intended project. A truly exceptional property combining history, architecture, generous proportions, a garden and a strategic Brussels location.
