Some mornings you wake up to absolute silence. No traffic. No neighbors. Just the soft creak of old timber, the flicker of light through dormer windows, and the faint smell of birch forest drifting in through the glass. That's the reality of life at Flahult Norra Hult — a 1888 Swedish torp with a completely renovated interior, sitting on nearly 2.4 acres of meadow and deciduous woodland outside Vittaryd in Ljungby municipality, southern Sweden. This is not a fixer-upper dressed up in nice photos. The renovation work here spans 2012 to 2025 and covers virtually everything except the original timber frame — which is exactly the part worth keeping. New floor structure, new exterior cladding, new insulation, new electrical and plumbing, new kitchen, new bathroom, a raised roofline, and a brand-new 45-square-meter terrace completed just this year. The bones are 19th century. Everything else is essentially new construction inside a historic shell. Let's talk about that shell for a moment. The entrance veranda sets the tone immediately — beadboard walls, a painted wooden ceiling, wide cross-laminated oak plank floors that feel solid and warm underfoot. A custom-built staircase carries you upstairs, but down here on the ground floor, the open kitchen and living room flow around a central chimney with a Scan wood-burning stove installed in 2016. Light it on a November evening and the whole room changes. The stove draws outside air, burns efficiently, and throws out real heat — not the performative warmth of something decorative. The kitchen itself was fitted in 2015 and keeps the country aesthetic honest: beadboard, compact cabinetry, an oak countertop, and a preserved Norrahammar No. 3 baking oven tucked in beside the modern c ... click here to read more

Step out of the front door in the early morning, coffee in hand, and the Baltic Sea is already right there — maybe forty meters away, maybe less. The water shifts color depending on the hour: slate grey before sunrise, then suddenly copper-gold, then the particular blue-green that Öland seems to reserve for itself. Church swallows cut low over the coastal meadow below the garden. That's the daily reality of this three-bedroom house at Össby 251, and it's one of those rare situations where the property genuinely delivers on every inch of its promise. Össby is a small village on the southeastern tip of Öland, the long narrow island off Sweden's Baltic coast that stretches between Kalmar in the north and the Ottenby nature reserve at its southern tip. This isn't a tourist village in any commercial sense. There's a local restaurant and not much else in the way of retail, which is precisely the point. The nearest grocery run takes you eight kilometers north to Grönhögen — a short drive past windmills and limestone alvar — where you'll find a supermarket, a couple of restaurants, an ice cream café that gets genuinely busy in July, and a golf course that sits above the sea with views that golfers tend to photograph more than they play. Grönhögen also has the old Neptuni åkrar limestone quarry, a shallow natural swimming hole etched into ancient rock where Swedes have been cooling off for generations. The Ottenby Bird Observatory, one of Scandinavia's most important ornithological stations, is just a few kilometers south. Spring and autumn migration here is extraordinary — raptors, waders, and songbirds funnel through Öland's southern tip in numbers that attract serious birdwatchers from across Europe. But you don't need to be ... click here to read more

Seaside villa exterior with sea view

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in July, the kind that only happens in the Swedish archipelago. You've got the kitchen window cracked open, coffee brewing, and across the water you can see a handful of wooden sailboats drifting past the islands. Nobody is honking. Nobody is rushing. The light out here—that long, gold, Baltic summer light—hits the water at an angle that makes you feel like you're living inside a painting. That's Trappviksstigen 10 on a normal morning. Set on the Jogersö peninsula just outside central Oxelösund in Södermanland, this two-bedroom holiday home sits on a generous 2,084-square-metre plot with the kind of sea outlook that makes you rethink everything you thought you needed from a property. At 108 square metres inside, it's not enormous—but it's all the right size. Compact enough to feel genuinely cosy, spacious enough to host family for two weeks without anyone stepping on each other's nerves. The house has been steadily improved since 2005, and it shows. Not in a showy, over-renovated way, but in the way a well-loved home shows its care—tile floors with underfloor heating in the bathroom, a kitchen with bright cabinetry and just enough room for a proper breakfast table by the window, a wood-burning stove in the living area that earns its keep from September through April. The open-plan living and dining space gets real water views through large windows. On grey November afternoons, you'll light the stove, pour something warm, and feel genuinely glad you own this instead of a city flat. The two bedrooms are tucked away from the main living areas—a thoughtful layout detail that matters enormously when you've got kids crashing early and adults wanting to linger over dinner. The bathroom i ... click here to read more

Step off the dock at Vansjö 13 on a July morning—water so still it mirrors the pine trees, a coffee going cold on the table behind you, a pike rippling the surface twenty meters out. That's what owning this place actually feels like. Not a postcard version of Swedish summer. The real thing. Sitting directly on the shores of Vansjön in Avesta kommun, this two-bedroom winterized home occupies a 1,585 square meter lot with its own private beach, wooden jetty, lakeside guest cottage, traditional sauna, and wood-fired hot tub. Properties with this kind of water access in Dalarna simply don't come up often. When they do, they go fast. The house itself was originally built in the 1950s—that solid, unfussy postwar Swedish construction that was built to last—and received a substantial renovation and extension in 2017. The result is 84 square meters of well-considered living space that manages to feel both genuinely cozy and entirely functional. The kitchen added during the renovation is the kind you actually want to cook in: full-sized appliances, proper counter space, room to move around when you've got guests. The original kitchen space was converted into a wet room handling laundry and utility storage, which frees up the rest of the house for living rather than logistics. The living room anchors the home with a traditional Swedish fireplace—a kakelugn-style setup that radiates a deep, even heat that no electric radiator ever quite replicates. On a February afternoon when the temperature outside is sitting at minus fifteen and the lake is frozen solid, this room becomes the entire world. Two bedrooms handle family configurations or the classic Swedish summer scenario: parents in one room, kids in the other, grandparents inst ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late June, coffee in hand, and the Baltic light is already doing something extraordinary — bouncing off Korsfjärden in long silver ribbons that reach right through the south-facing windows of the living room. The nearest beach is a two-minute walk. There are no traffic sounds. Just birdsong, the faint creak of a boat somewhere in the channel, and the smell of warm pine from the garden. This is what daily life at Sandenvägen 30 actually feels like. Sankt Anna is one of those places that Swedes have quietly kept to themselves for generations. Tucked into the Östergötland archipelago south of Söderköping, it comprises around 6,000 islands, islets, and skerries — and unlike the more crowded Stockholms skärgård to the north, it still has that unhurried, genuinely local feel. Sanden itself is a small village with real character: a tennis court, beach volleyball courts, a playground, and walking trails that wind through coastal woodland down to the water. The grocery store and a handful of restaurants are close enough to reach by bike, which is exactly how most people get around here in summer. The house sits on a 2,122-square-meter plot between two of the area's best swimming beaches. One faces west toward Lagnöströmmen — a sheltered stretch that stays reliably clear of algae throughout the season. The other faces south toward Korsfjärden, which means sun from mid-morning until the long Scandinavian evenings fade into a pink-orange dusk sometime after 10pm in July. That south-facing beach is the one you'll find yourself walking to most mornings. It becomes yours very quickly. Built in 1986 and architect-designed from the ground up, the house spans 173 square meters of living space with a ... click here to read more

Six o'clock on a July morning and the light here is already gold. You push open the kitchen window and catch the faint salt-and-pine smell drifting up from the water at Räfsnäs, just five minutes down the track on foot. The coffee is on. Somewhere across the garden, a wood pigeon is doing what wood pigeons do. This is Bokenäs — and if you've never spent a summer on this stretch of the Bohuslän coast, you're in for a genuine revelation. Hjalmars väg 5 sits on a southwest-facing plot in the Eriksberg neighborhood, a quietly sought-after pocket of Uddevalla municipality where most houses go dark from September to May and come magnificently alive in June. The property dates from the 1930s and carries that era's unhurried sensibility: proper rooms with real proportions, large windows that pull the garden indoors, and the kind of robust timber construction that has laughed off nine decades of Swedish winters without drama. Three bedrooms, two living rooms, one bathroom — 76 square meters of main house that feels bigger than the number suggests, partly because of those windows and partly because the layout was designed for actual living, not a floor-plan brochure. The garden is the heart of everything. Southwest aspect means sun from late morning until the evenings go rose-pink around ten o'clock in high summer. There's room for a long table under the trees, a hammock, a patch for growing tomatoes that never quite ripen but you keep trying anyway, and enough grass for children to run themselves properly tired. The guest cottage — a simple, functional annex on the same plot — handles the overflow when friends arrive, which they will, repeatedly, once word gets out you have this place. The share in the local community associat ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Fide and the air already carries warmth before nine o'clock. The limestone fields stretch out behind the garden, a pair of lapwings call from somewhere beyond the stone wall, and the smell of sun-warmed grass drifts through the open kitchen window. This is southern Gotland — unhurried, specific, and unlike anywhere else in Sweden. This two-bedroom stone house in Fide Österby is the kind of place that makes you stop checking your phone. Built in 2016 in the island's traditional plastered stone style, the house sits on a quiet plot in Fide parish, one of the southernmost corners of Gotland. The island is at its narrowest here, which means you're genuinely a short bike ride from both the east and west coasts simultaneously. That geographical quirk is one of the quiet pleasures of this location — you can catch a sunrise over the Baltic at Grynge algerna one morning and watch the sun drop into the sea from Hoburgen's dramatic cliffs the next evening, all without getting in a car. The building itself is compact and considered. Seventy-four square meters sounds modest until you step inside and notice the ceiling height, the way light moves through the large glass panels throughout the day, and how the open kitchen and living room feel genuinely social rather than squeezed. The fireplace with its insert draws the eye immediately — a five-meter chimney rising through the roof, solid and well-proportioned. On a grey November afternoon, that fire changes everything about the mood of the room. Underfloor heating runs throughout, fed by a ground-source heat pump, so the warmth is even and quiet and costs far less to run than you might expect. The doors and windows were made by local Gotland crafts ... click here to read more

Step out onto the wraparound deck on a July morning and count the sailboats threading between the islands. The water catches the early light in that particular Baltic way — sharp, almost silver — and the only sound is birdsong and the distant put-put of an outboard motor heading out toward Nämdöfjärden. This is Hässelmara, Värmdö, and it gets under your skin fast. Åkerblomsvägen 14 sits on a 4,140-square-metre plot that feels genuinely private. Mature pines and birch trees ring the boundary, which means you're not staring into a neighbor's living room — you're looking at forest. For buyers used to European plots measured in the hundreds of square metres, this kind of space reads almost absurdly generous. Children can tear around the garden all afternoon. You can grow tomatoes and courgettes in raised beds on the south-facing side. There's room to do nothing at all, which is sometimes the entire point of a second home. The house itself was built in 1992 but tells very little of that story today. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2023 — proper high-spec work, new appliances, clean cabinetry with serious storage — and it opens through to a living area where large windows pull in light from multiple angles. On grey November days, that light matters. On long midsummer evenings when the sun barely drops below the horizon, the whole room glows in a way that makes you want to open every window and cook something slow on the stove. The flooring throughout is fresh, the tones are neutral without being boring, and everything is genuinely move-in ready. No punch list waiting for you. The bathroom was redone in 2022 with underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, and tiling that doesn't apologise for itself. Small detail, but underflo ... click here to read more

Exterior view of Åkerblomsvägen 14

You wake up to the sound of birdsong drifting through the window, the smell of pine and lake water on the morning air. Through the kitchen glass, the garden stretches out in a wash of green — old fruit trees, a flat lawn still wet with dew, and somewhere beyond the tree line, Bodatorpsträsket glinting in the early light. This is a Tuesday in July at Bodatorpsvägen 14. And it's yours. This three-bedroom summer house in Djurhamn, on the island of Djurö in Värmdö municipality, sits on a generous 2,793 square metre plot in the Bodatorp area — one of the most sought-after pockets of the Stockholm archipelago for Swedish families and international buyers alike. The property is in good condition, ready to use from day one, and carries that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in rather than staged. Every corner has a story: the covered terrace where evenings tend to stretch long, the wood-burning stove that makes October here not just bearable but actually cosy, the great room that somehow fits everyone when the whole family descends in August. The main house is 55 square metres of practical, warm living space — compact enough to run easily, large enough for real comfort. There's a kitchen with a proper dining area where long lunches happen naturally, a bedroom tucked away for quiet, a separate toilet with an incineration toilet, and a shower room with a shower cabin. The wood stove in the great room is not decorative; it's the heart of the space, doing real work on those shoulder-season weekends when midsummer has passed but nobody wants to stop coming up. The covered terrace off the main house is where the day tends to begin and end — coffee in the morning light, wine as the sun drops behind the spruce trees. But the ma ... click here to read more

Main house and garden

On a quiet morning in early June, you step outside your back door at Björnmossevägen 60 with a coffee in hand. The garden stretches out ahead of you — a full 2,560 square meters of it — and somewhere beyond the treeline, maybe 300 meters off, you can hear the faint splash of a swimmer at one of the nearby lakes. The air smells of pine resin and wet grass. Stockholm feels like a world away, even though it's only about 35 kilometers north. That's Brottby. That's what draws people here. Tucked into the Garns-Ekskogen forest landscape within Vallentuna municipality, this two-bedroom house sits on a generous private plot that gives you something increasingly rare around the Swedish capital: genuine space, genuine quiet, and genuine proximity to nature that isn't manicured or managed into blandness. Built in 2018, the house covers 82 square meters with a clean, light-filled interior that needs nothing done to it. Move in, hang your coat, and start living. The layout makes sense for the way people actually use a second home or holiday base. The main living area runs open between the lounge and dining space, with oversized windows pulling in the kind of northern light that makes everything look slightly better than it is. The kitchen is modern and properly equipped — not the hollow showroom kind, but the kind where you can actually cook a Sunday elk stew after a long autumn hike. Two bedrooms give you flexibility: one for sleeping, one for a bunk room for kids, or a proper home office if you're splitting time between Stockholm work and forest-life weekends. The bathroom is contemporary, finished well, and does exactly what it needs to. Outside is where this property earns its price tag. The 2,560-square-meter plot is the rea ... click here to read more

On a quiet July morning at Gnejsvägen 9, you step out onto the enclosed balcony with a mug of coffee and the garden is already alive — bees working the raspberry canes, light cutting through the birch canopy, a woodpecker hammering somewhere behind the guest house. This is the version of Sweden that Swedes themselves keep to themselves. Mariefred is one of those small towns that gets everything right without trying too hard. Cobblestone streets, a waterfront that hasn't been over-developed, and the unmistakable silhouette of Gripsholm Castle rising above Lake Mälaren — one of the oldest Renaissance fortresses in Scandinavia and the unlikely backdrop to your afternoon walk. The town sits about 65 kilometres west of Stockholm, just over an hour by car, or you can take the steamboat Mariefred from Klara Mälarstrand in the capital — a genuinely beautiful two-and-a-half-hour crossing across the lake that makes every arrival feel like an event rather than a commute. The property itself carries the name 'Skogsgläntan' — Forest Glade — which tells you exactly what the current owners experienced here over the years. The plot is flat, deeply private, and ringed with mature trees that do the work of any fence. From the street you'd barely know the house was there. Inside, the layout makes immediate sense: three generous bedrooms, a living room with enough space to actually live in rather than just admire, a period-style kitchen that still has its original character intact, and a renovated bathroom that handles the modern comforts without erasing the soul of the place. The carport is new. The heating system has been updated. These are the upgrades that matter — not cosmetic, but structural and practical, the kind that mean you mov ... click here to read more

Picture a Tuesday morning in late July. You've left the house on Gata 29 with a thermos of coffee, walked the five minutes down to Grönemad harbor, and you're untying your boat before most of the village has woken up. The Bohuslän archipelago stretches out in front of you — smooth granite skerries, dark green islands, the kind of light that northern Sweden does in summer that you simply cannot photograph well enough to explain to people who haven't seen it. That's the morning this property makes possible. Grebbestad sits on the western coast of Sweden, tucked into the Tanums municipality on the Bohuslän coast about 130 kilometers north of Gothenburg. It's one of those small Swedish coastal towns — population hovering around 1,500 — that somehow punches well above its weight in the summer. The harbor fills with sailboats from Norway and Denmark. The seafood shacks along the promenade sell some of the freshest oysters and langoustines you'll find anywhere in Scandinavia; the Grebbestad oyster in particular has a mild, mineral flavor that local restaurants have been building menus around for decades. During the Grebbestad Oyster Festival in October, the whole town turns into something between a food market and a street party, and it draws visitors from across Sweden and Norway every year. This is a house that has been sitting quietly on its 1,301-square-meter plot since 1964, and it still has the original bones of that era — the kitchen with its period detailing, the compact layout that was designed for real living rather than Instagram staging, the deep basement running the full length of the ground floor. It's been inspected by Fukt & Byggkonsult and the sale includes insurance against hidden defects, so you're not walk ... click here to read more

Picture this: a Saturday morning in late June, pale Nordic light filtering through hand-printed wallpaper at six a.m., the smell of birch smoke drifting up from the kitchen's wood-burning stove, and absolute silence outside — except for the soft shuffle of ducks settling onto the garden pond. That's what mornings feel like at this 18th-century country house in Stjärnhov, just outside Gnesta in Södermanland. It's a rare thing, a property that actually delivers on the rural Sweden fantasy rather than just hinting at it. The house sits on 4,299 square meters of mature garden in Herrökna Sofielund, a quiet hamlet surrounded by forest and farmland roughly 80 kilometers southwest of Stockholm. From the capital you're looking at just over an hour by car, or a train to Gnesta station followed by a short drive. For buyers based in Stockholm who want a proper country escape without the half-day journey, this area — locally called Sörmland — is something of an open secret. The land rolls gently here, dotted with red-painted timber houses, small lakes, and riding trails through spruce forest. No dramatic mountains, no coastal circus. Just unhurried Swedish countryside at its most honest. The garden alone makes this place worth serious attention. Whoever planted it thought long and hard: established fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, herb patches near the kitchen door, climbing roses over the wooden fence, and a pond with enough depth to attract frogs in spring and ice-skaters' shadows in February. Gravel paths loop between beds of peonies, hollyhocks, and what appears to be a small cutting garden for the house. It's the kind of garden that has its own rhythm through the seasons — you're not maintaining it so much as participating ... click here to read more

Stand on the plot at Måsvägen 31 on a Tuesday morning in late May and the birch trees are already full and loud with wood pigeons. The water is just 500 meters away—you can't see it yet through the pines, but you can smell it. That particular mix of cold saltwater and sun-warmed granite that defines the Stockholm archipelago. This is Strömma, a quiet fold of Värmdö municipality where you don't arrive accidentally. You come because you've heard about it from someone who has a place out here and won't stop talking about it. The house itself was built in 1958 and it shows its age in all the right ways—solid bones, a low roofline that sits comfortably in the landscape, and windows that frame the surrounding greenery like paintings. Forty-three square meters, two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's compact, but it's fully winterized, which in this corner of Sweden means something real: you can be here in February when the ice on the canal turns blue-white and the thermometer drops below minus ten, and the house holds warmth. Swedes build for winter the way coastal Italians build for earthquakes. This place has been doing its job for over sixty years. What makes Måsvägen 31 genuinely different from most holiday properties in this price range isn't the house—it's the land and what you can do with it. The plot runs to 2,925 square meters, which is a serious piece of ground. It backs directly onto a large public green area, so the sense of space extends far beyond the legal boundary. And the building rights here are unusually generous: up to 250 square meters of building footprint (BYA), a total gross floor area of 360 square meters across all floors, a permitted height of 6.5 meters, plus additional outbuildings up to 80 square meter ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in September, the smell of pine drifting in through the bedroom window, the surface of Bullaresjön completely still. You pull on a sweater, put coffee on, and stand at the kitchen window watching the mist lift off the water. That's not a fantasy—that's a Tuesday here at Klageröd 5, in one of Bohuslän's quieter, less tourist-trampled corners. Bullaren sits in Tanums kommun, about 20 kilometers inland from the dramatic granite coastline of the Swedish west coast. If you know the area, you already know why people keep coming back. If you don't, here's the short version: it's the kind of place where your phone starts feeling irrelevant by mid-afternoon. The house itself is a single-story 78-square-meter property in solid condition—renovated, clean, and genuinely move-in ready. Two bedrooms, one well-fitted bathroom with a proper shower, and an open-plan living and dining area built around a wood-burning fireplace. That fireplace isn't decorative. Come November, when the temperature drops and the lake turns gunmetal grey, it's the center of the whole house. Evenings are spent there. Long weekends are organized around it. There's a reason Swedish interior culture puts such stock in the concept of eldstad—a real fire changes the character of a room entirely. The kitchen has been updated without losing the practical, unfussy character that Swedish country homes do so well. Enough counter space to actually cook a proper meal—and you will, because the local food culture here is built around doing exactly that. The village store in nearby Östad stocks local honey, smoked meats, and seasonal produce. In summer, the roadside stands along Route 163 sell strawberries and new potatoes by the ki ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the first thing you notice is the smell of warm pine resin. Not the synthetic kind you find in a candle — the real thing, rising from the forest floor as the sun climbs over the eastern gable of this 1969 house in Havängs Sommarby. The birds are already going. Somewhere down the lane, a bicycle bell rings once and fades. This is what summer sounds like in Österlen. Havängsvägen 6 sits on a freehold plot of 1,289 square meters in one of the genuinely rare corners of Swedish coastal property — Havängs Sommarby, a small community tucked between Kivik and Brösarp on the Skåne coast. Freehold plots in this particular village are uncommon. Most of the surrounding vacation properties sit on leasehold land, which makes this one a different proposition entirely for buyers who want clean, uncomplicated ownership. The same family held it for over fifty years. That kind of tenure tells you something about a place. The house runs to 79 square meters across one and a half floors, sensibly arranged with two bedrooms on the ground level, both catching morning light through south- and east-facing windows. The open living room pulls you in with original wooden floors and a proper fireplace — the kind that makes an October weekend here feel genuinely cosy rather than just possible. There's something quietly satisfying about a house that still has its original bones intact. The spiral staircase leads up to a third bedroom tucked into the eastern gable, and beyond that, an attic space with real potential for conversion if the family grows or the guest list expands. The kitchen is compact but works well — room for a small table, good light, the kind of setup where breakfast happens unhurriedly and nobody ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning here is the light. By seven o'clock it's already cutting low and golden across Bräckeviken, bouncing off the water and right through the kitchen window while the wood-burning stove crackles to life. That's the rhythm of a day at Vårviks-Backa Bräcke 1 — unhurried, deeply Swedish, and utterly removed from the noise of ordinary life. Set on a 5,510-square-metre plot in the Dalsland region of western Sweden, this 1840s farmstead sits just 150 metres from the calm inlet of Bräckeviken, which feeds directly into the celebrated Dalsland Canal. The canal — a 250-kilometre waterway connecting dozens of lakes across Värmland and Dalsland — is one of Scandinavia's great slow-travel routes, and having it practically at your doorstep changes the texture of daily life in ways that are hard to overstate. You can kayak from the property's public jetty to the next village before breakfast. You can watch narrowboats drift past in the evening from the terrace, awning cranked out, glass in hand. The main house is 110 square metres of considered, authentic renovation. The original structure from 1840 has been kept honest — thick walls, low doorways, the kind of spatial logic that only comes from buildings that have weathered nearly two centuries of Swedish winters. Walk into the kitchen and the centrepiece is a traditional wood-burning stove with a proper baking oven. Not decorative. Actually used. The smell of fresh bread on a Sunday morning in here is reason enough to buy the place.

Main house and garden with lake view

The first thing you notice on a July morning is the light. It comes off Valdemarsviken early — pale gold, almost white — and it finds its way through those big water-facing windows before most people are awake. You're standing in the kitchen, the wood stove ticking with the last of last night's birch logs, and the bay is out there doing that glassy, still thing it does before the wind picks up. That's the daily reality of owning Lövudden Kaptensbostället. Built in 1909 as a captain's residence, this four-bedroom house carries its age well. Not in a dusty, museum way — the original pine floors still have their warmth, the paneled walls still have their craft — but in the way that a well-sailed boat does. Things were built to last here. The bones are honest. Set on a 1,909 square meter plot at the edge of Lövudden, the property sits just 50 meters from the shoreline on Valdemarsviken, the long sheltered inlet that cuts into the eastern Östergötland coast. The plot itself is thick with mature trees — mainly birch and pine — that create a natural screen between you and the outside world. Somewhere in there, wood pigeons call back and forth through the afternoon. The garden has multiple spots where you can watch the water change color through the day, from silver-grey at dawn to deep blue by afternoon to something almost copper when the sun drops behind the ridge. The house stretches across 107 square meters of thoughtfully arranged living space. A later extension gave the ground floor a proper living and dining room with large windows that frame the bay like a painting you never get tired of. This is the room where winters happen — long dark evenings with the wood stove going, candles on the table, the kind of coziness th ... click here to read more
