Apartment for sale in Turnhout

Living in a protected monument, with today's comfort In the heart of Turnhout, one of the city's most iconic mansions gets a new chapter. Residence The Court of First Instance is the stylish renovation of the former House Van Hal, a protected neoclassical monument dating from 1886, designed by architect Pieter-Jozef Taeymans. Over the years, the building served as a private residence, labour court and later as a backdrop to the VTM programme My Pop-Up Restaurant. Today, this exceptional heritage is restored with respect and transformed into an exclusive residence with only four generous villa apartments. Authentic elements are carefully restored, while modern techniques, contemporary comfort and lift are discreetly integrated. Each apartment covers a full floor and offers maximum peace, privacy and space. The villa apartment on the second floor This apartment offers almost 210m2 of generous living space. The space that we would typically term as "inkomhal" is so large that this space is also suitable as relaxation room, desk, or 2 e seating area.

Open doors open onto a lovely private terrace at the rear, with a beautiful view over a magnolia and the historic buildings of the Holy Grave. The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, the 2 other bedrooms share the 2nd bathroom. Each owner has a private cellar storage (27 to 39 m2).
