Monumental mansion with park garden Sint-Jansstraat 13, 8000 Brugge

—Ref. spir2991

This extraordinary property, built on a yard that originated around 1300 as an offshoot of a larger estate, offers a unique insight into the history and grandeur of Bruges. The present building, in late-classical style, was later rebuilt on behalf of the noble Coppieters family.

The building retains traces of its medieval origins: from the Gothic cellar under the rear house, built around 1300, with its magnificent cross-ribbed vaults and a central pillar of Balegem stone, to the carefully decorated masks and floral motifs on the vault keys and consoles. The impressive vestibule has a classical Corinthian finish with a monumental winding staircase, leading to a magnificent round stairwell with domed vaulting, supported by stately Corinthian columns.

The interior exudes elegance and combines historic details with contemporary comforts. The property boasts eight spacious bedrooms, three luxurious bathrooms and a convenient lift. The lounges on the street side are richly decorated with stuccos, classic marble fireplaces and large mirrors, while a 1907 bow window in the style of architect A. De Pauw overlooks the green park garden.

With a unique library over two floors, a wine cellar, and parking facilities within the old carriage gate for two cars, this property offers the perfect balance of luxury and comfort. The beautifully landscaped park garden, a rare green oasis in the city centre, is a restful place to enjoy nature and privacy to the fullest.
