This renovated country home for sale in Norrtälje sits on a 2,165 m² plot, a rare amount of land for a 53 m² house within reach of Stockholm. Built in 1976 and updated in recent years, it has two bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and living room, and a fireplace for the colder months.
It is a small house on a big piece of land, and that balance is what makes it interesting. You get a cabin-sized footprint that is cheap to heat and easy to look after, with a garden large enough that you won't hear the neighbours' lawnmower over your own barbecue.
The House: 53 m² Renovated for Year-Round Use
The layout is simple and sensible. Three rooms: two bedrooms and a combined kitchen and living area, with one bathroom. Large windows bring in plenty of daylight, which matters a great deal in Sweden between October and March. The renovation has updated the kitchen appliances, the bathroom fixtures and the interior finishes, while the 1976 character of the building has been kept.
The open-plan space is where you will spend most of your time. Cook, eat, and then move twenty steps to the fireplace with a coffee. Storage has been planned into the layout, which is a relief in a house this size.
The seller describes the property as suitable for year-round use, with insulation and heating that cope with winter. That widens your options. It can be a summer house, a weekend base outside Stockholm, or something closer to a permanent home.
The 2,165 m² Plot and Outdoor Living
A plot of over 2,000 m² is generous by any standard near the capital. The garden has several seating areas and patios, so you can follow the sun from morning coffee to the evening meal. There is a private driveway with room for several cars, which is handy when friends and family come to stay.
There is space to plant a vegetable garden, set up a play area or simply leave the grass to grow. Any extension or additional building would be subject to local planning rules, so check with Norrtälje municipality before making plans.
Living in Norrtälje and Roslagen
Norrtälje is the main town of Roslagen, the stretch of coast and islands north-east of Stockholm that Swedes have long used for summer living. The town has a harbour, shops, restaurants, a summer programme of cultural events and healthcare facilities, so day-to-day errands don't require a trip to the city. Around it you find forests, lakes and the Baltic coast, with hiking, fishing and boating all close by, and the outer Stockholm archipelago is within easy reach for days out on the water.
It is a good fit if you are looking for a holiday home in Stockholm County that you can also use outside July. Winters are cold and can be snowy, and the fireplace and heating are there for that reason.
Getting There: Airports and Drive Times
Stockholm Arlanda Airport is roughly 45 to 60 minutes away by car, depending on traffic, and most European capitals have direct flights. Central Stockholm is about 70 km south-west, normally just over an hour by road. The ferry port at Kapellskär, with sailings towards Åland and Finland, is about 30 minutes from Norrtälje.
Buying a Second Home in Sweden
Sweden has no special permit requirement for foreign buyers of ordinary homes, which makes a second home in Sweden simpler to organise than in some other countries. This house is small, in good condition and on a large plot, so running costs should be modest. The seller describes them as reasonable. For anyone shopping for Sweden real estate with low maintenance in mind, that is worth noting.
