In a small French speaking municipality, in Belgium, located in the Wallonia region there is a village called Lasne. And a beautiful house which attracts attention from the very first photos is put on sale there. It seems like it was copied from the movies, that date to the beginning of the XX century, and at the same time it fits the modern world perfectly. But what to say — let’s look at this house that you can buy in Belgium for €1,395,000.

Lasne is the third largest municipality in Belgium, which occupies approximately 4700 square hectares. This area is very curious and special due to several number of reasons. Firstly, it is here, where the Waterloo battle took place. Secondly, the income of the village’s residents is 48% higher than the average country’s income (judging by the residents’ average taxable income). Another interesting feature is the country’s lowest tax rate among all the municipalities of Belgium. 

Probably, this is the reason why the first Environmental police unit in the country was formed here. Its officers carefully monitor the process of waste sorting, dealing with nature protection and ecology improvement issues in this region. 

In such a remarkable place you will find a cottage on sale for €1,395,000. Just in general, real estate in Belgium has a range of distinctive features, and this property is not an exception. Its red pitched roof has windows on the attic floor, brick walls of bright colours and a driveway in front of the house attract attention from the very first minutes. The house seems to be built on the example of the cottages from movies dated to the beginning of the XX century. It’s not hard at all to imagine that this is a summer residence of a duke or a duchess who is waiting a carriage with guests to come in a few minutes. 

As soon as you get inside the house, the flair of history fades away giving a place to the modern interior. Large panoramic windows, bright walls, sufficient lighting and avangard pieces of art which fulfill the house make you feel like staying inside.

The house was built in 1977 and consists of 9 rooms. The total area of 353 square metres includes four bedrooms, a laundry room, two living rooms, a kitchen, a cloakroom, a cabinet and two bathrooms. In the main living room a central place is occupied by a royal, there is also a well-decorated relax-zone with two leather armchairs near the fireplace. 

The kitchen design is as laconic as possible: white facades of strict shapes, graphite panels on the walls and household appliances of black and steal colour. So nothing distracts from cooking. 

Bedrooms also have not much details:there is a bed, storage systems and bedside tables. However, the premises still look really cosy thanks to the warm colour of walls or the shape of the beds which obviously play a remarkable role.

The plot of land nearby looks well-maintained. Here you will see a terrace for summer gatherings, walking paths, and fully wild part with a pine forest. A gravel road visible from the end side of the house leads to the underground garage with two parking spaces, and a living fence successfully hides this part of the territory. In addition, the property has a small woodshed for equipment and tools storage, near which a caring owner put another table with chairs. 

According to the seller, there is a bus stop not far from the plot, as well as stores, a primary school, a doctor’s office and a sport centre. However, it is obvious that the life here may turn out to be a little complicated without a car.
