The Signature of Ernest Blérot

Facing the Ixelles Ponds, this Art Nouveau townhouse designed by Ernest Blérot in 1904 embodies one of the most distinctive expressions of Brussels architecture. Fully listed as a protected heritage property, it offers approximately 665 sqm of gross floor area across six levels, connected by lift. Restored between 2006 and 2008, the residence has regained its former splendour while preserving the qualities that define its character: an architecture conceived down to the finest detail, where façade, proportions and ornament form a remarkably coherent whole.

Entertaining by the Ponds

The principal reception rooms occupy the piano nobile, giving the house its most spectacular outlook. From the front salon, the historic bow window frames direct views over the Ixelles Ponds. Beyond it, a double reception room opens onto the city garden, creating a succession of spaces that feel both generous and intimate. The garden level features a professional kitchen with back kitchen, alongside an elegant dining room with fireplace opening onto the garden. A library or cinema room with bathroom completes this level, equally suited to entertaining and quieter moments of everyday life.

A House of Many Possibilities

The upper floors offer remarkable flexibility, with up to seven bedrooms and six bathrooms depending on the configuration. The first floor is dedicated to a true principal suite, comprising a generous bedroom, dressing room, bathroom and shower room. The following two floors accommodate four en-suite bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own private terrace. The top level offers an additional bedroom, bathroom and laundry room. A configuration that lends itself equally well to an exceptional family residence or a home designed for hosting guests.

Heritage in Every Detail

Here, the character of the house lies not only in its address or proportions, but in every carefully preserved detail. Art Nouveau ironwork, stained glass, woodwork, original joinery, mouldings and mosaics have all been meticulously retained. From the entrance, the historic mosaics and central staircase set the tone for a residence in which ornament is an integral part of the architecture. A wine cellar and private city garden complete the property. Currently operated as a guest house, the residence will be available from 1 January 2027.
