Located in the heart of the medieval centre of Bruges, this exceptional five-storey mansion on the waterfront – dating back to the 11th century or earlier – offers a perfect combination of timeless elegance and modern luxury.

The property was restored with the utmost care, using the most noble materials, by craftsmen recognized by Queen Elizabeth II. It has a peaceful garden that extends to the iconic Bruges canals, offering incomparable tranquility in the heart of the historic centre.

A large entrance hall, with an authentic floor and ceilings culminating at 5.5 metres, is bathed in natural light thanks to a glass roof located three floors higher. On both sides there is a cherry library and a warm living room covered in leather – both heated by wood stoves – which invite relaxation.

The art deco music room, decorated with magnificent stained glass windows and a gas stove, opens onto a bright dining room under a glass ceiling, equipped with a second gas stove. Large windows offer stunning views of the canal, enhancing the culinary experience. Adjoining, a state-of-the-art gourmet cuisine features a separate bar and one of the property's two refrigerated beer pullers.

The reception room, covered in silk and equipped with a large open fireplace, opens with window doors on a Juliette balcony covered with roses, overlooking the garden and the canals.

The first floor accommodates the main areas, designed for optimal comfort. Two spacious bedrooms with living areas form separate suites, each with its own bathroom and connected by a discreet passage. The largest suite has a dressing room and gas stove. Two additional bedrooms, one with private bathroom, complete this floor. A peaceful reading area on the landing provides an intimate refuge.

The second floor includes a refined office with panoramic views of the Bruges silhouette – ideal for work or reception. It also houses an independent apartment on two levels, with its own kitchen, living room, bathroom and a mezzanine furnished in bedroom: ideal for guests, staff or as a private workshop. An additional bedroom with ensuite bathroom completes this level.

The third floor, which offers an unobstructed view of Bruges and its canals, has two spacious bedrooms and a living area – ideal as a private space for a large family or to accommodate additional guests.

At the garden level is a real haven of relaxation including an elegant bar (equipped with the second beer puller), a billiard room with a gas fireplace without a fireplace, as well as a double vaulted playground with a huge wood stove and an integrated barbecue. The summer dining room opens onto the garden and is complemented by a wine cellar, a fitness room, a sauna and an additional bathroom.

The technical room can accommodate 15 bicycles and includes a modern laundry room, a new gas boiler and the necessary infrastructure for refrigerated beer pullers. The urban garden and the water garden, carefully arranged, extend harmoniously to the canals and form an oasis of calm in the heart of Bruges. A rare private docking bridge – one of the only in the city – highlights the exclusivity of this property. This exceptional home offers a unique opportunity to own a historic masterpiece in one of the most popular locations in Bruges.
