For Sale – Villa Van de Velde | A landmark Art Deco modernist work by Blomme, in the heart of the Observatoire district (Uccle)

Built in 1936 by architects Yvan and Adrien Blomme, Villa Van de Velde stands as one of the rare, preserved examples of Art Deco modernist architecture of this scale in Brussels. Listed as a heritage property, superbly restored, and set on a 2,700 m² landscaped plot in the highly sought-after Observatoire district of Uccle, it represents a truly unique opportunity to acquire an architectural work of art with a rich and layered history.

Originally commissioned by industrialist and patron Henry Van de Velde, this exceptional residence has also served as the home of the French ambassador to Belgium, and later as the residence of a renowned Belgian art collector, adding further cultural prestige to its heritage.

Spanning ± 805 m², the house has undergone a complete and respectful restoration, carried out with meticulous attention to historical detail.

On the ground floor, the villa offers:

• Several reception rooms with remarkable volumes

• A light-filled dining room

• A refined and functional kitchen

• A spacious office, ideal for entertaining or working from home
