French Style Brussels Townhouse
The New York Times 3.3.09

The four-story Belgian townhouse featured in The New York Times international real estate section is chock-full of interesting details and design elements. Located in the Ixelles neighborhood of Brussels, the home has a French-style facade with lots of French style elements: rounded windows, French doors, Juliette balconies, etc. The home, built in the early 1930s, also has a garage, dumbwaiter and lots of space for outdoor living...

The three-bedroom property has a garden-level patio, balconies AND a rooftop terrace — it is listed for €850,000 (about $1 million).

See the full listing, For Sale in ... Belgium and the slideshow with all the pictures.

But do the Belgians consider this "French style"???

Looks nice, but I had lived in Brussels in a similar house - five rooms on four levels (including a basement kitchen) connected by a staircase so steep it's more like a ladder - no, thank you. Ever since, I insist on bungalows.

Not really, this looks suspiciously Belgian to my patriotic eyes.

That's a Smeg oven. Comes in many colors, too.

Doesn't look French to me either - more of a neo-Romantic interpretation of Jugendstil.

Johan - I am fairly certain that this home is near Rue de l'Abbaye/Vleurgat/Chaussee de Waterloo - I saw it today but can't remember where I was. Near Rue de Tenbosch.

It's a beautiful home, the only problem is you'd have to live in Brussels...
