Lightning Storm Brussels

Property Description

There's nothing run of the mill about this unique apartment, set in a period building overlooking the pretty Place Stephanie. It's on the top floor, with plenty of stairs to contend with, but we guarantee the climb is well worth it. Spacious and stylish, with a few quirky features that make it stand out from the crowd, it's been fully renovated to create a modern home in the historic city centre.

The living space is open-plan, keeping everything sociable during your stay, and there's a comfy sofa area, a dining table for six and a really well-equipped kitchen. With a double-height space above the dining area, lit by skylights, and stairs up to a loft level, it's every bit the smart city pad. And yes, that is the front end of a 1950s Cadillac on the wall. Why not?

The bedrooms and bathrooms are all immaculate, and some come with impressive views. But our favourite spot has to be the secret terrace, accessed through the fourth bedroom at the top of the building. It's such a rare treat to get a bit of outdoor space in this central location, we bet you'll be sneaking out here to gaze across the rooftops with a glass of wine at every opportunity.

Famous for its Louise quarter, this area is much sought-after, with great shopping and entertainment nearby. It's just an eight-minute walk to the Palace of Justice and fifteen to the Place Royale.
