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 begins a new chapter. Residence The Court rises in the former House of Hal: a protected neoclassical monument from 1886, designed by architect Pieter-Jozef Taeymans. The building served as stately private residence, labor court and decor for the VTM program 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 parquet floors, high ceilings, walls and historical details are restored. At the same time, modern techniques, energy-efficient comfort and a lift are discreetly integrated. Each apartment covers a full floor and offers maximum space, peace and privacy. The ground floor villa apartment Via the monumental entrance hall you enter a house with almost 270 m2 of living space. The impressive ceiling heights and spacious rooms create a living experience that can hardly be found today.

Large windows bring abundant daylight and connect the house to the terrace and garden. The absolute eye-catcher is the central hall with authentic staircase and beautiful light dome.
