Designed in 1924 by architect René Doom, this house caught our attention with its mixed, but certainly elegant, facade details.
First, this imposing four-sided gable, made with superb masonry work and sculptures representing chestnut leaves.
Also note the very elaborate stained glass that adorns the windows and the front door.
The octagonal window on the right bay is decorated with an owl, a bird frequently illustrated in the Art Deco period.
