Tilburg Town House

A monumental masterpiece with a new life

Some properties tell a story. About style, craftsmanship, a time long past and what has proven to be timeless. Tuinstraat 112 is such a property. Architect Jan van der Valk built it in 1903 for himself as a residence with studio. He designed it in Art Nouveau style and today it is a listed national monument. Over time, it has become a rare and beautiful piece of Tilburg’s history. A home that is more than just a residence, but a living work of art, carefully and respectfully restored. A city villa designed not only for living, but for truly experiencing life.
History and character

The exterior still radiates the same grandeur as it did in 1903. The façades are an ode to craftsmanship and symmetry, featuring elegant wrought iron details, stained glass windows with symbolic representations, characteristic bay windows and a unique loggia that accentuates the vertical lines of the front façade. Behind this impressive exterior, where Jan van der Valk once lived and worked, lies a high quality residence. All four residential levels exude style and elegance, from the basement with its living kitchen, to the bel étage with living and study rooms, and the two upper floors dedicated to bedrooms.

Transformation to the present
The current owner restored the property in 2009 and adapted it to meet contemporary standards. The entire building was renovated with meticulous attention to detail, aiming to preserve its history while meeting modern living requirements. The result is a home where past and present blend seamlessly, a place where monumental elegance merges with modern comfort.

Authentic elements such as stained glass transom windows, original ceilings, wooden details, staircases and ornamental features have been preserved and restored. At the same time, the electrical systems, heating, kitchen and bathrooms have been completely renewed to meet today’s standards. This is a monument in which you can live without compromising on comfort or atmosphere.
