Stadswoning for sale in Brugge

Some houses are old. Other breathing history. In the Eekhoutstraat, a stone's throw from Dijver, Groeninge and the Markt, lies behind a discreet 19th-century facade a surprisingly large and special town hall. A former pharmacy - later antique shop - whose authentic shop interior was preserved, coupled with a characterful Secret Annex with 17th century core. A rare combination of living, working and Bruges history. The separate private entrance hall immediately sets the tone: antique bluestone, nut and child beams, original joinery and a decapitated staircase. In addition, a living room/office with double terrace door to the casside terrace, and an attractive back salon with beamed ceiling and Leuven stove. On the first floor the house becomes surprisingly bright and open. The spacious L-shaped living literally connects two centuries: a bright sitting area in the 19th-century front house, with thanks to its façade a wonderful perspective on the Eekhoutstraat, and a dining room in the historic annex. Then lies the very charming kitchen with old beams, ceiling in brick vaults, antique bluestone and authentic joinery. From the landing you also reach a spacious second terrace. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, each with visible roof and a bathroom with bathtub and sink. Two large attics offer additional potential for those wishing to create more living or sleeping space. And downstairs? That might be where the biggest surprise awaits. the former pharmacy with private access, five high windows and its beautiful historical shop design. Ideal as an office, professional, gallery, studio or commercial space - nicely separated from private life. Not a smooth renovation, but a house with patina, soul and exceptional layering. Two construction periods, two terraces, live and work under one roof and surprisingly much space, in the middle of one of the most beautiful historical neighbourhoods of Bruges. A house for those who are not looking for just four walls, but a place that exists nowhere else.
