Villa “Les Hêtres” – A Landmark Art Deco Residence by Émile De Boelpaepe Set within approximately one hectare of private grounds, on the border of Berchem-Sainte-Agathe and Dilbeek and adjoining Brussels’ Green Walk (Bois du Wilder), Villa Les Hêtres represents a rare opportunity to acquire and restore a distinguished architectural landmark. Designed by renowned architect Émile De Boelpaepe in 1927, the residence embodies the elegance of Art Deco enriched with subtle Anglo-Norman influences. The villa is fully listed as a protected monument, while the entire park is recognised as a protected heritage site — a testament to its historical, artistic and aesthetic significance within the Brussels-Capital Region. The residence reflects the refinement and prosperity of the interwar bourgeoisie. Ground floor: A grand central entrance hall sets the tone, leading to formal living and dining rooms (61 m² in total). A further 44 m² reception space — comprising a second salon, bar and smoking room — emblematic of the lifestyle of the period. A generous kitchen with a pantry (21 m²) completes the level. First floor: Five bedrooms (14, 14, 17, 17 and 34 m²), some with washbasin or shower, a 15 m² study and a period bathroom are arranged around a wide landing. A vast attic accessed via a fixed staircase. Lower ground floor: Extensive cellars, basement air-raid shelter and a double garage. Additional exterior garage. Total surface area, including basement: 476 m². Art Deco landscaped park of 1 ha 16 ca.
