There are investment properties… and then there are those you simply don’t come across twice.
In the heart of the ultra-residential Transvaal district of Auderghem, directly bordering the Sonian Forest, By the Way presents a truly unique, character-filled investment property.

As the very first house of the neighbourhood, it is today the only one benefiting from an inner-block location, offering a level of peace and quiet that is rare in Brussels: away from traffic, surrounded by greenery and single-family homes. A real cocoon… yet perfectly connected.

Mobility is seamless: bus 41 at 70 m, Hermann-Debroux metro and tram 8 at 900 m. Everything is within walking distance: local shops, supermarkets, 5 schools (FR & NL), ADEPS sports centre, Rouge-Cloître, fast access roads… A location that ticks every box, both for owner-occupation and investment.

The building is immaculately maintained, very well insulated (3 EPC certificates rated C!) and offers 3 radically different registered units, making it a smart, resilient rental investment.

👉 Ground floor: an absolute coup de cœur apartment of 118 sqm, fully renovated in 2022. High-end fully equipped kitchen, warm living spaces, 3 bedrooms, 2 shower rooms, double-flow ventilation. Outside, a true urban luxury: a 50 sqm side courtyard and a private south-east facing garden of approx. 100 sqm. The kind of property tenants never want to leave.

👉 First floor: an apartment of approx. 73 sqm to renovate, with planning permission already granted (costs already included in the yield calculation): living room with open-plan kitchen, large and quiet 9 sqm terrace, 2 bedrooms, shower room and separate WC. Clear value-enhancement potential.

👉 Second floor: a charming and bright attic apartment of approx. 72 sqm: spacious living room, open fully equipped kitchen, bedroom with independent bathroom, separate WC and a mezzanine offering a second bedroom or cosy atypical space. High-performance insulation and air conditioning (rare and appreciated).

Technical features include: 3 EPC C, thermal solar panels, efficient shared gas condensing central heating, 700-litre insulated solar hot water tank, double glazing throughout, common security system, separate Wi-Fi per floor, two rainwater tanks of 2,000 litres each, several cellars including one very large cellar that can be rented separately. Electrical installation compliant until 2036 and even 2046 for the ground floor.

Charges are currently ALL-IN on a flat-rate basis, with the possibility of individualisation.

💰 Current net rental yield: approx. 4.30% (total income approx. €5,000/month)
🚀 Clear upside towards 5% net with rent updates from mid-2026 for the ground and first floors.

A rare, coherent, profitable and highly appealing building, as pleasant to own as it is to rent.
A true “heritage + yield” investment.
