An original architect house in a trendy area 20' away from downtown Brussels

Designed by an architect, this mini-house is charming and intimate.
It has been refurbished indoor/outdoor in year 2022. Gardening works is still ongoing, but will be ready for summer 23.
Situation is ideal, because pretty isolated from the busy traffic of the avenue, at 5 minutes walk from the contemporary museum "Wiels" and around 25 minutes to historical center of Brussels with public transports.
Public transports (tram & bus) are just opposite the avenue.
This house is located among an ancient industrial site, with former warehouses and aligned houses of workers with mini-gardens.
The house has a nice wooden terrace and a sitting area for summer lunches or evening barbecues.
The train line 124 is running down our garden. Frequency of trains is around 15' during the week. For us it has never been an annoyance of any kind though.
