This exceptional townhouse stands on a historic site that originated around 1300 following the division of a larger medieval domain. The present building, rebuilt in an elegant late Neoclassical style on the instructions of the noble Coppieters family, forms a remarkable bridge between Bruges then and now.
Beneath the house lies a Gothic cellar dating from around 1300, complete with authentic rib vaults, keystones decorated with detailed masks and floral motifs, and a central supporting column made of Balegem stone. Upon entering, the imposing vestibule immediately catches the eye with its classical Corinthian finish. The monumental staircase leads to an impressive, circular stairwell beneath an elegant domed vault supported by stately Corinthian columns.
The interior radiates style, with rich historic details blending effortlessly with contemporary comfort. At the front are refined living areas featuring elaborate stucco work, classical marble fireplaces and generous mirrors. A striking 1907 bow window, designed in the style of architect A. De Pauw, floods the rooms with daylight and offers a beautiful view of the greenery behind the property.
The property is exceptionally spacious, with eight bedrooms, three bathrooms, a unique library extending across two floors, a wine cellar and a comfortable lift. Practical convenience is also assured: the authentic carriage entrance provides covered parking for two cars. In addition, the deep, beautifully landscaped park garden forms a rare and tranquil green oasis in the heart of the historic city centre.
