Charming retail space in Mechelen's famous shopping street

Just a few meters from the Grote Markt, in Mechelen's most famous shopping street. A more central location is simply impossible in the city of the "Maneblussers."

Immensely charming, full of original details, and with tremendous potential—this 19th-century townhouse, with a stylish, classically influenced shopfront, has it all. The building is a protected architectural heritage site, with a generous area of 243 m².

Be enchanted by the beautiful shop window, classic built-in cupboards, oak parquet flooring, and authentic wrought-iron sign. It’s easy to imagine the residents of Mechelen shopping here over the decades. At the front, there’s the retail space, followed by two rooms, one with original cement and wall tiles. The former courtyard, covered for additional storage, can be reopened and transformed into a patio. The hallway tiles are also authentic, as is the elegant staircase leading up to the attic.

On the first floor, there’s a very spacious room at the front. The middle and rear rooms still retain the original wooden flooring. The second floor is identical, except the front room here has been split into two. Lastly, there’s an attic for extra storage.

While the property needs a full renovation, its original charm makes this townhouse a true time capsule with incredible potential.
