Free time If you masterhome of Kurt and Leen walk into, come to your eyes. The original visgraatparket, the ornate ceilings with special details are worked out, the curiosities, each of which is something to tell. He is fond of music, she is nostalgic and loves to color. The perfect match, as it turns out.

How are you on this unique property cases?

Kurt: “about twenty years ago I worked as a voluntary guide at the buurtproject ‘houses’. In addition, I could show people that it is here in Borgerhout also be pleasant and beautiful to live. So I ended up one day in this house. I was in love. When I made the pledge four years ago to purchase saw on Facebook, I am immediately going to look. It turned out still the house of my dreams. It took me some arguments to Borrow to convince to go along. We lived nice and good, but after her visit was the bullet through the church.”

What exactly drew you over the line to the house to buy?

Leen: “First see and then believe, it is said. I saw that the authentic elements are remarkably well intact, such as those cherubs on the ceiling. The many rooms were very nicely maintained, there was a pleasant garden … and suddenly I understood where Kurt was talking about. (smiles) That we are in the same area could continue, I found an extra asset. “A chance we must seize,’ with that thought, I am the house the first time buitengewandeld.”
