Townhouse for sale in Tienen with 4 bedrooms

We are pleased to welcome you to this completely asbestos-free historic building, formerly known as 'Hemelrijk'. This stately townhouse, with an impressive facade of no less than 22 meters, is located in the historic center of Tienen.

The exact year of construction is not known, but some writings refer to the 14th century. Throughout the centuries, the property has been demolished, rebuilt, and renovated multiple times. It has had various inhabitants and functions: it once housed a notary and, after 1860, a horse trader. Around the turn of the century, it was owned by lawyer, alderman, and municipal council member Jaco Mertens.

Upon entering the house, you are immediately surprised by the unique combination of authentic elements and completed renovations. The high ceilings of approximately 3.50 meters, the characterful paneling, the authentic framework, the wooden beams, and the two original maid’s rooms testify to the rich historical character of this townhouse.

With a usable floor area of approximately 500 m², according to the EPC, this property offers numerous possibilities. It is extremely suitable as a spacious family home, but its generous layout also makes it excellent for a combination of living and working.

An absolute asset is the private city garden of over 250 m², an exceptional oasis of tranquility in the city center. On the various sun terraces or in the charming oak garden room, you can enjoy the outdoors in complete privacy, sheltered from the liveliness of the city.

Additionally, two adjacent parking spaces located about 100 meters from the house can be purchased optionally.
