The only clue to the property's past life are the train tracks which traverse the garden.

The ground floor of the two-story structure includes a living room, dining room, and three bedrooms—all with en-suite bathrooms. It also features a huge loft area with an additional living space, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Each level has an outdoor terrace, while the lower terrace has a barbecue.

The property has a soaring sense of space thanks to the vaulted ceilings.

The sleek, renovated kitchen includes a long, almost monastic dining table, a metallic kitchen-bar, and beautiful views. A mix of new and vintage furnishings—including modular beds, a chic bathtub by Agape in the lofted bathroom, and a contemporary fireplace in the living room—complement the dark interior palette and heavy use of wood and stone.

The lower kitchen-bar is fully equipped to semi-professional standards, including a gas stove from Lacanche and a side-by-side refrigerator.

An additional kitchen has been placed in the loft for added convenience.

Each room comes equipped with an en suite bathroom. This one includes a stylish bathtub by Agape.

Notes

Located just an hour away from Brussels, the only visible clue to this vacation home's past life is the train track that traverses its bucolic property. Once a small country train station, La Micheline has been converted into an interesting property that features a timeless silhouette, original stonework, vaulted ceilings, and a rich history.
