Our loft-style home is a recent modern renovation of an old farm building. It is a very spacious house making as much as possible use of natural lighting. The living area is one big space with integrated kitchen area, fitted with modern appliances ( dishwasher, oven, microwave). The kitchen island is vary spacious and is the center of the living area, perfect for an aperitif. The dining table sits up to 8 people.
In the living area there is a television, with Netflix and Apple TV. And a decoder to watch cable TV. Furthermore downstairs, there is a cosy study, ideal for relaxing and reading a book from the large library, and a toilet. Here there is also a foldable double bed for extra sleeping options.
Upstairs there is a master bedroom, with windows on both sides, one of them with a view down into the living area and the garden. There is also a spacious bathroom (with bath and walk-in shower), and two bedrooms. One has a double bed, the other one has a foldable single bed and a toddler bed. There is also a secondary bathroom with a shower.
Centrally in the house there is an atrium, providing natural light throughout the house and the two floors. In the summer this is ideal for sitting outside to gaze up to the stars.
We have a very spacious garden, with a large terrace and garden furniture. In the back of the garden there are a few trees, ideally for climbing and hanging a hammock. They also provide lovely shade when it gets hot.
We are a couple in our forties, with two lovely kids. Arvid is a Flemish sports & adventure lover, who manages clients in an advertising company. Currently his main passions are triathlon and crossfit. Before this rugby was his main obsession. Mairi, from Scotland, is a competition lawyer. She is totally into yoga. She practices very regularly and even has a teachers certification. Hot yoga is her preference. Our kids, Skye and Jack, are respectively 3 and 0 year old.
We love traveling and are always ready to discover new places and meet new people. Exchanging homes is new for us and we look forward to discovering this way of traveling. We are very sociable and would love if people chose our house as a base to explore Belgium. We will do everything we can to make you feel welcome and have a nice holiday.
Our house is located about 10min by car from the city center of Mechelen, a beautiful town, with lots of historic buildings, shops, bars and restaurants. A 1min drive or 10min walk also takes you to a big nature reserve nearby where you can enjoy nature. There is also a big lake to practice all kinds of water sports.
Near our house there is also a river that connects to other rivers and canals, making for great opportunities for cycling and walking. Further attractions include Technopolis, a fun experience center about technology for kids. De Nekker, a large outdoor recreation park with all kinds of activities and a large lake for swimming. And many more museums and attractions for old and young.
Mechelen is very centrally located in Belgium:
- Brussels 35min
- Antwerp 30min
- Gent 45min
And there is also easy access to bigger cities abroad like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Paris.
