Detached house with big garden in enchanting Bornem, 30 min drive to all big Belgian cities (Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Louvain)

The house was built in 1995. It has a huge garden and big windows that make sure there is lots of natural light. There is a big garage and a playroom for the kids. We recently bought the house and moved in December 2025. The colours of the walls might change in the course of 2026. We will add pictures from the other bedrooms and the playroom once we have installed our furniture. There are four bedrooms. Outside there is a terrace with a big table and chairs to eat outside. We also have a barbecue you can use. The train station is at 1km from the house. There is a big recreational park (public and free playground, swimming pool) at 1km from our house. The centre of our vibrant town is a 5 to 10 minutes walk. There are many restaurants, bars and lovely shops.

My name is Liesje (40) and I am a secondary school teacher (English). My husband Jan (47) is a planner for Lineas (a company that transports goods by train). We recently bought a bigger house and we will move in December 2025. We are very excited, as well as our children. We also love to travel and discover other places, which is the reason we enlisted on Intervac. We have done about 20 exchanges and loved each one. We have 2 children, our son Cyriel who is 6 years old ( October 2019) and daughter Rosalie - 4 - who was born in September 2021.
