However, note that the land is currently leased, which might slightly limit mortgage options for now.

This transition signals greater freedom, a subject prospective buyers should keep an eye on.

Step outside on a February morning and the world is absolutely silent. Fresh snow has buried Vintergatan overnight, the birches are white to their tips, and Funäsdalsberget sits right there in your eyeline, lit pink by a sun that's just cresting the ridge. The cross-country trail runs past the edge of the plot. You clip in and go. That's not a fantasy — that's a Tuesday here. Vintergatan 19 is a rare kind of find in Swedish mountain real estate: a genuine farmstead footprint — 9,750 square meters in total — sitting on the quiet outskirts of Funäsdalen village, with a main house, a fully fitted guest house, snowmobile storage, and a clutch of outbuildings that give you flexibility most holiday properties simply can't offer. The main house dates to 1890 and carries the weight of that age in the best possible way — thick walls, real timber, the kind of construction that makes a wood stove feel like the center of the universe on a January evening. At 55 square meters of living space plus an additional 61 square meters of auxiliary area, it's not big, but it's arranged for how mountain life actually works: a place to dry wet gear, store skis, brew something hot, and gather around a table with the people you actually want to spend time with. Three rooms adapt easily — sleeping quarters, a sitting area, a workspace if you need it. Simple. Functional. Honest. The guest house changes the equation entirely. Having a fully equipped, separate space for visitors means you're not giving up your own routine when friends arrive for a ski weekend. They get independence; you get your mornings back. For those considering rental income — and the holiday rental market in Funäsdalen is genuinely strong, particularly November through April ... click here to read more

Step outside on a January morning in Kringelfjorden and the silence hits you first. Not the absence of sound exactly, but something richer — the muffled hush of fresh snow on spruce branches, the distant crack of ice on the lake, the faint smell of woodsmoke drifting from your own chimney. That's the daily reality of owning this two-bedroom country home on Byggningvägen in Särna, where the Swedish wilderness isn't a backdrop — it's the whole point. Situated on a generous 1,125 square metre plot in Älvdalens kommun, Dalarna County, this 59-square-metre home punches well above its size. Built in 1985 and kept in good condition throughout, it was given a proper kitchen refresh in 2023. New cabinetry, quality appliances, real counter space — the kind of update that makes you actually want to cook, not just heat things up. The open layout means whoever's at the stove stays in the conversation, which matters when you've got family spread across the living area after a long day out on the trails. The living room earns its keep. Large windows frame the tree line directly, so on grey November afternoons the forest comes right into the room with you. Come July, the same view is all green and gold light until nearly midnight — Dalarna sits far enough north that summer evenings go on and on. Two bedrooms handle a family comfortably; both are quiet, with the kind of dark that actually lets you sleep. One bathroom keeps things simple. That's the whole house, and it's enough. The design is about efficiency, not excess. What makes this property genuinely interesting is everything outside the main structure. The private sauna is the social heart of the place — a proper Swedish bastu, heated with wood, where the ritual of warming up, s ... click here to read more

At 10pm on a Swedish summer evening, the sun is still up. Not setting—just hanging there, painting the Kvarken archipelago in shades of amber and copper while you sit in the glass room watching a cormorant land on the rocks below the jetty. That's not a fantasy. That's a Tuesday at Svartviken 44. This 92-square-metre country home on the coast of Täfteå, roughly 25 kilometres north of Umeå, sits at the kind of address that locals don't talk about too loudly. The Rovågern area has stayed quietly itself for decades—real fishing boats at real boathouses, the smell of salt and pine together, and a road that the municipality actually grits in winter. People live here year-round, which tells you something. It's not a summer-only postcode that goes silent in September. It breathes in every season. The house itself was built in 1959, which gives it bones. Not the flimsy bones of something thrown up in a hurry, but the solid, thick-walled kind that holds warmth when October arrives with attitude. Extensive work in 2023 brought the kitchen fully into the modern era—opened up to the living room, reconfigured for how people actually cook and socialise—without stripping out the soul of the place. The plastered open fireplace at the heart of the main living area is the kind of feature that becomes a gathering point within hours of arrival. Light it on a grey August evening when the wind picks up over the water and the whole room rearranges itself around it. Every main room faces the sea. That's not an accident of layout—it's the whole point of this property. The water is visible from the kitchen while you're making coffee. It's there from the living room sofa. And then there's the glass-enclosed room added in 2023, a full-width exte ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the holiday home and waterfront

Step outside on a Tuesday morning in late June and the only sounds are a woodpecker working through a birch trunk somewhere behind the garden, and the faint lap of Lake Bolmen against the reeds a short walk down the track. No traffic. No neighbors visible. Just 2,899 square meters of your own grass, trees, and sky on one of Småland's most sought-after island retreats — and a house that was actually built for year-round living. Bolmsö is a proper island, connected to the mainland by a single bridge over Lake Bolmen, and that bridge does something psychological the moment you cross it. The pace drops. The shoulders drop with it. The lake itself is Sweden's fifth largest, stretching across parts of both Kronoberg and Jönköping counties, and Bolmsö sits right in the middle of it — surrounded by some of the clearest freshwater you'll find anywhere in southern Sweden. The house dates to 2015, which matters more than it might sound. You're not buying someone else's 1970s renovation project with surprises inside the walls. The construction meets contemporary Swedish energy standards, heating costs stay manageable through the long winters, and nothing needs urgent attention when you arrive for your first weekend. Move in, light the fireplace, open the wine. That fireplace, positioned in the open living and dining area, earns its place on every trip from October through April. The floor plan flows openly from the kitchen — centered on a practical island that makes cooking for eight people actually pleasant — through the dining space and into the sitting area without any awkward corridors breaking the momentum. Three separate doors lead directly from these living spaces out to the garden, so on warm July evenings the line betwee ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the air smells like pine resin and lake water. The birds are loud — genuinely loud — and the light comes through the trees at that low Scandinavian angle that makes everything look like it was painted rather than real. This is Hölö, a quiet corner of Södertälje Municipality that most Stockholmers drive past on their way somewhere else. Their loss. Built in 2022, this compact country home on Stavsnäsvägen 10 is one of those rare finds that doesn't try to be more than it is. Twenty-seven square metres of carefully considered space on a 2,431 square metre private plot — that contrast tells you everything. The building is modest. The land is generous. And that balance is exactly what makes it work as a vacation home, a second home, or a weekend escape from the city. The house itself sits elevated on the plot, which matters more than you'd think. You get sun. Real sun. From midday right through to the long Swedish evening, the orientation means the terrace — or wherever you choose to build one — catches warmth while the surrounding birch and spruce provide enough shelter to make it feel private. The neighbouring plots give you space rather than proximity. It rarely feels like anyone is nearby. Inside, the open fireplace pulls all the weight during shoulder season. April and October in this part of Sweden can go either way — a log fire at dusk with the windows fogged and a glass of something warming on the side is not a marketing cliché here, it's just Tuesday. The open-plan layout with large windows keeps things feeling bigger than the floor plan suggests, and the natural materials used throughout — untreated wood, simple finishes — age well and need almost no upkeep. The kitchen is fitte ... click here to read more

Early morning in Furusund, the water is so still it mirrors the pine trees perfectly. You walk out of the front door on Monte Christos väg 17, coffee in hand, and the only sound is the distant chug of a wooden sailboat rounding the headland toward the open Baltic. The jetty is ten steps away. This is what you came for. Furusund sits at the outermost edge of the Norrtälje archipelago, roughly 80 kilometers north of Stockholm — close enough to the city that you can be there in under an hour and a half by car, yet far enough that mobile signal feels like a minor inconvenience rather than a lifeline. The village is small and unassuming: a harbor, a marina, a handful of locals who have been spending summers here for generations, and the Furusund Inn, which has been serving fresh herring and cold snaps since the 1800s. August here smells like sunscreen and smoked fish and salt air. In June, the midsommar poles go up near the harbor and the whole community gathers to dance, eat strawberries with cream, and argue about whose grandmother's dill sauce recipe is better. It is deeply, specifically Swedish in a way that no curated resort can replicate. The house itself was built in 1955 and carries that era's particular kind of confidence — solid timber construction, low roofline, windows placed to catch the afternoon light rather than impress from the street. Seventy square meters doesn't sound large on paper, but the layout wastes nothing. The open-plan living room and kitchen feel genuinely spacious once you're inside, with original wooden floors that have gone warm and honey-gold over the decades. The kitchen has been updated with modern appliances while keeping the proportions and feel of the original, so it doesn't look like ... click here to read more

Stand on the hillside at Heden 42 on a clear October night and the sky does something you won't forget. No streetlights, no neighbors close enough to matter, just the Northern Lights rippling green and violet over the Västerdalälven valley below. This is Storstensgård — a 4.4-hectare estate outside the village of Nås in Dalarna's Vansbro municipality — and this is the kind of moment that explains why people buy a property like this and never look back. The estate takes its name from a natural stone monolith standing over five meters tall at the center of the grounds. That stone has been here longer than the farmhouse, longer than the historic entrance pillars, longer than the original photographs preserved inside the main house that show female soldiers billeted on the property in an earlier century. There's a tangible weight of story here, and the land holds it quietly. The main house dates to 1889. You enter through a glass veranda — the kind of addition that Scandinavian farmhouses have always used to trap winter light — and immediately the high ceilings and original roof lines tell you this was built by people who cared about proportion. The wooden floors have been lived on for over a century. The living room centers on a wood-burning stove, and in January, when Dalarna's temperatures drop hard and the surrounding fields go white and silent, that stove becomes the heart of the entire house. There's also an air-to-air heat pump for the days when you want warmth without the ritual of splitting logs. The kitchen is genuinely large — large enough for a dining table that seats eight without anyone feeling crowded — and it has both a wood stove and a pizza oven. Not ornamental. Actually used. Fully fitted with built-in ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace just after sunrise, coffee in hand, and watch a family of deer pick their way across the fairway below. The pond catches the early light. Somewhere behind you, through cedar-clad walls still cool from the Swedish night, a fire is waiting to be lit. This is a Tuesday morning in Örkelljunga—and it feels like a week away from the world. Woodlands Country Club sits in the heart of Skåne, the southernmost county in Sweden, tucked into a landscape that shifts dramatically with the seasons. Spring brings lime-green birch leaves and the thwack of the first golf round of the year. Summer gets genuinely warm here—Skåne sits closer to Copenhagen than Stockholm, and long June evenings stretch past ten o'clock. Come October, the forest turns amber and rust, and the fairways are yours almost alone. There is something quietly special about this corner of Sweden that visitors from Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK have been discovering for years. Örkelljunga itself is a small town with real character: a bakery on Storgatan that opens at seven, a Thursday market in summer, and a pace of life that makes you realize you've been moving too fast. The house at plot 44 was designed by Henning Larsen Architects—a Copenhagen-based firm with a genuine international reputation, not a name dropped casually. The building sits elevated on pillars, its footprint following the slope of the land rather than flattening it. That decision, which might sound technical, means the forest floor runs uninterrupted beneath and around the structure. You don't arrive at the house so much as into it, the cedar facade having weathered to a silver-grey tone that reads almost like bark from a distance. Built in 2008 and maintained in excellen ... click here to read more

The ferry horn sounds somewhere out on the water, and you're already halfway through your morning coffee on the deck — the one with the birch tree growing straight through the middle of it, branches overhead, Baltic light filtering through. That's the particular kind of morning that Humlegården on Sundholmen delivers, almost every single day from late April through September. This is archipelago life as the Swedes have quietly perfected it over generations, and now it's available to international buyers ready to claim their piece of Roslagen. Sundholmen sits just off Håtö in the Norrtälje archipelago, roughly 90 kilometres north of Stockholm. The island is reached by private boat from the mainland parking area at Håtö — a crossing of only a few minutes, but one that instantly shifts the pace of everything. Your car stays behind. The noise stays behind. What you arrive to is a landscape of granite outcrops, mixed forest, meadow grass blowing in off the sea, and a community of summer cottages that has barely changed in feel since the mid-20th century. The property itself is called Humlegården — hops garden, in Swedish — and the name gives you a sense of its character. There's a generosity to the layout. The main house, built in 1987 and added to over the years, sits at the heart of roughly a third of an acre of garden that moves from mown lawn to wilder woodland without any hard edge between them. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen-living room with an open fireplace and a secondary iron stove for the shoulder seasons. It's 55 square metres inside the main house — compact, honest, nothing wasted — but the real living space extends far beyond those walls. The deck alone changes the equation entirely. Accessed straight ... click here to read more

Main house and deck

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the Baltic is already glittering below you. Seabirds circle above the rocky shoreline. The smell of warm pine from the sauna building still lingers from last night. This is Väbynäsvägen 15 — a two-bedroom summer cottage perched on an elevated lot in Väby, just outside Ronneby in the heart of Blekinge, Sweden's most underrated coastal region. The house itself is compact and honest. Built in 1978 and kept in genuinely good shape, the 43 square metres inside are arranged with the kind of practical intelligence that Scandinavian summer homes have always gotten right. Every room earns its place. The living room faces the sea and its large windows pull the view inside, filling the space with reflected light off the water from mid-morning onward. When the afternoon sun swings around, it catches the surface of the bay and the whole room shifts. You don't stop noticing it. The kitchen works. Nothing fancy, but it handles what a summer household needs — big family breakfasts, late dinners after a day out on the water, quick lunches before heading back down to the jetty. Two bedrooms are quiet and well-proportioned. One bathroom. The layout keeps things simple, which is exactly the point when you're spending most of your time outdoors anyway. And the outdoors here is the real argument for this property. The 1,092-square-metre lot is generous by any standard, terraced into the hillside with several distinct seating areas — one catches the morning sun, another faces west for the long Swedish summer evenings that don't end until past ten. Mature trees give shade without blocking the water view. The garden is tidy, planted with a mix of lawn and flowering shrubs that take care of t ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's six in the morning, the mist is still sitting on Lake Vänern, and you're standing on a west-facing terrace with a cup of coffee watching the water turn gold. No traffic noise. Just birdsong, the occasional creak of a wooden dock somewhere below, and the kind of quiet that takes a few days to fully sink into. That's what mornings feel like at Mellåsen 5. This is a proper Swedish countryside retreat — 75 square metres of well-kept living space on an elevated, private plot in Mellåsen, a small community just outside the town of Mariestad on the eastern shore of Lake Vänern. Sweden's largest lake, and Europe's third largest, Vänern isn't just a view — it's the reason people come to this part of Västergötland and keep coming back. The house itself is two bedrooms, one bathroom, and it's been cared for in a way that shows. The current owners have lived in it, not just visited it. The kitchen has a proper setup — stove, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, good storage — and it opens directly into a dining area where the west-facing window gives you an uninterrupted view of the water. On a clear July evening, when the sun doesn't set until nearly eleven, that window is the best seat in the house. The dining area flows out through the conservatory and onto the main terrace, so summer meals have a way of drifting outside without anyone consciously deciding to move. That 23-square-metre glazed conservatory is one of the property's most practical features, and it's genuinely useful beyond the summer months. Infrared heating panels extend comfortable use well into October, maybe November if you're not too precious about a sweater. Fully opening sliding doors mean it can be thrown open entirely in warm weather, and two a ... click here to read more

Wake up in the sleeping loft on a July morning and the east-facing gable window does the work for you — soft Scandinavian light spilling over wooden floors before the rest of the house stirs. Down in the kitchen, the old double door is already thrown open to the garden, and the smell of apple blossom drifts in from trees that have been growing here longer than most people can remember. This is Komstad, a quiet hamlet in the Österlen countryside of southeast Skåne, and life here moves at a pace that most of Europe has forgotten how to do. The cottage dates to the 1870s and wears its age well. Someone has taken genuine care with it — not the kind of renovation that strips a place of everything interesting, but the kind that keeps the open-beamed ceiling in the living room and the original soul of the layout while quietly upgrading what matters. There's underfloor practicality in the fully tiled bathroom, a shower behind a clean glass wall, and a washing machine tucked in beside it. The kitchen has integrated appliances, a dishwasher, an island that becomes the natural gathering point when friends arrive, and a wood-burning stove that earns its keep from October through to March. The Bang & Olufsen sound system wired into the living room is the one small luxury that doesn't apologize for itself — good music through good speakers, while the fireplace crackles and rain patters against the southwest-facing deck outside. That deck deserves its own mention. Glass doors open directly from the renovated west gable onto a broad wooden terrace that catches the afternoon and evening sun until the last possible moment. A pergola draped in white climbing roses frames the view over open agricultural fields — flat, wide Skåne landscape ... click here to read more

Early morning on Stillingsön, the light comes in sideways off the water — that particular Nordic gold you only get in July, when the sun barely dips below the horizon. You're standing in the kitchen of this 1909 farmhouse, coffee in hand, watching a pair of horses move through the dew-wet pasture outside. Three kilometers down the road is a beach. Three kilometers the other way, a golf club. And here, right here, is 2.7 hectares of your own Swedish countryside. This is Orust. Sweden's third-largest island, tucked into the granite-and-saltwater chaos of the Bohuslän coast, roughly 90 minutes north of Gothenburg by car. People who know it, love it with a quiet ferocity. People who don't know it yet tend to stumble across it on the way to somewhere else and end up staying. The property at Allmag 547 sits on Stillingsön, one of Orust's more sought-after corners, and it's the kind of place that's genuinely hard to categorize. It's a working horse property with a four-box stable. It's a country retreat with old-growth trees and open meadows. It's a holiday home ten minutes from some of the best wild swimming on the Swedish west coast. All of these things are true simultaneously, and that versatility is exactly what makes it so unusual on the current market. The house itself was built in 1909, and it wears its age well — not in a theatrical, over-restored way, but in the way of a building that's been genuinely lived in and properly maintained. Sixty-five square meters. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room arranged in that unfussy, logical way that older Swedish rural homes tend to be. The rooms are bright — large windows on multiple aspects, the kind that bring in the long summer light until almost midnig ... click here to read more

The alarm doesn't go off here. You wake up because the light does — a low Arctic gold sliding across the water at 5am in July, spilling through the bedroom window of the main cottage while the rest of the island is still quiet. Grab a coffee, walk twenty steps to the dock, and watch a pike break the surface of Bäckfjärden. That's the morning. Every morning. This is an island property in the Skellefteå archipelago, about 40 kilometers from the city center, and it is one of the most complete turnkey holiday retreats you will find anywhere in northern Sweden. Complete is the right word — the boat is included, the furniture stays, and the mainland garage with a private dock is part of the deal. You arrive, you unpack, and you start living. The main cottage sits at roughly 90 square meters, used across most of the year rather than just a short summer window, which tells you something important about how it's built. A 2024 air-source heat pump handles the shoulder seasons efficiently, backed up by two wood-burning stoves that turn October evenings into something you actually look forward to. Radiators throughout mean you're not chasing warmth from room to room. The windows have been swapped out gradually over the past 15 years for maintenance-free units — small detail, big difference when you're an owner who isn't always on-site. Step outside and the property keeps going. A separate guest cottage of around 20 square meters has its own kitchenette and a south-facing terrace, which means visiting family members get genuine privacy rather than a fold-out sofa situation. Two insulated cabins — friggebodar in Swedish, each around 10 square meters and both wired for electricity — handle the overflow: a teenage kid who wants their ... click here to read more

At five in the morning in late June, the Gulf of Bothnia goes completely still. The light at Kalvarsskatan doesn't arrive so much as it reveals itself — a slow amber spill across the water that starts around 3am and just keeps going. Standing on the private jetty at this 1-bedroom holiday home in Hörnefors, coffee in hand, you realize this is a kind of quiet that most people only read about. This is Västerbotten, and it earns every superlative Swedes save for their most beloved places. The property at Kalvarsskatan 5 sits directly by the sea on a freehold plot of 1,478 square meters, with the treeline of the boreal forest pressing in close behind the house and open water stretching out in front. The main house — compact, practical, built in 1970 and kept in good condition by careful owners — measures 38 square meters of honest living space. One bedroom, one bathroom, and an open kitchen that flows into the living room without pretense. The layout isn't grand. It doesn't need to be. The large windows do most of the work, pulling the sea inside and making the room feel three times its size on a bright Norrland summer day. The terrace off the main house is where mornings actually happen. Birch pollen on the breeze in May, the smell of pine warming up in July sun, frost-crisped air and aurora discussions over a late October schnapps. The terrace faces the water and gets the kind of exposure that means you're outside more than you planned every single visit. The guest cottage is separate — genuinely useful, not a marketing afterthought. It gives visiting family actual privacy, or frees up the main house for a couple while children pile into their own space. Some buyers will use it as a studio or a gear room for kayaks, fi ... click here to read more

On a clear July morning at Solfältsvägen 2, the first thing you hear is water. Not traffic, not neighbors — water, and the occasional low horn of an Åland ferry carving its way through the Stockholm archipelago somewhere out beyond the treeline. You're sitting on a wide timber deck with coffee going cold in your hand because you keep getting distracted. That's Dyvik. It does that to people. This single-story country home sits on a genuinely generous 2,730-square-meter plot in Dyvik, within Österåkers kommun — one of the few remaining pockets of the Stockholm archipelago where you can still find a freehold property at a price that doesn't require a second mortgage on your first home. The house itself is compact at 25 square meters of living space, but the way it's been used is clever. A hallway that doubles as a sleeping nook, an open-plan kitchen and living room that draws light from multiple windows, and a ceiling that runs all the way up to the roof ridge — making the interior feel considerably larger than the floor plan suggests. The fireplace insert is the kind of feature that earns its keep in early September, when the Swedish archipelago does that particular trick of dropping ten degrees between lunchtime and sundown. Light it at six, and by the time dinner's ready the whole room has that amber, wood-smoke warmth that's basically impossible to replicate any other way. The kitchen runs alongside it — fridge, freezer, dishwasher, gas stove — plus a wood-burning stove that sits in the corner and makes the whole cooking experience feel like something out of a Carl Larsson painting, but without the inconvenience of living in one. Outside is where this property really opens up. The deck is large enough to hold a full ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in Sättra By and the first thing you notice is the silence. Not an uncomfortable silence — the kind that actually has texture. Wind moving through birch trees. A woodpecker somewhere in the treeline. The faint crackle of a fire you're about to light in the pizza oven before lunch. This is Roslagen, a stretch of Swedish countryside northeast of Stockholm that Swedes themselves quietly consider one of the most liveable corners of the country. And this three-bedroom country home on Saxenvägen 75 sits right in the middle of it. The property dates to 1965 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — not flipped and photographed, but actually cared for. At 67 square metres, it's compact in the best sense: every room earns its place, nothing is wasted, and the layout flows naturally between the open living and dining area, the functional kitchen, and the three bedrooms tucked away from the main living spaces. Large windows face the garden, which means the inside of the house is full of green light most of the day. In summer, the boundary between indoors and out practically dissolves. The wood-fired sauna is one of those features that sounds like a nice extra until you've actually used it in late October, when the air outside has that particular sharp coldness and the birches have gone gold. Panoramic windows face the forest — you're not staring at a fence, you're watching the trees. After a long drive up from the city, or an afternoon of paddling on one of the nearby lakes, this is where the week resets itself. Right beside it sits the custom-built pizza oven, which sounds indulgent until you realize it becomes the social core of every weekend gathering. Friends arrive Friday evening, som ... click here to read more

The smell hits you first — pine resin warming in the morning sun, a faint trace of lake water carried on the breeze from Mälaren. You're standing on the south-facing patio at Gäddvägen 35, coffee in hand, watching light fracture across the water through the birch trees, and it takes about four minutes to feel like you've been here your whole life. That's the kind of place Märsön is. Märsön is a small island just outside Enköping, roughly 75 kilometres west of Stockholm. Not famous, not overrun with summer tourists, not the subject of glossy weekend magazine spreads. That's exactly the point. The people who find their way here tend to come back year after year, eventually buying a little red house with a garden, a rowboat, and a long list of nothing urgent to do. This two-bedroom holiday home on Gäddvägen is the kind of property those people fight over when it finally comes to market. The plot itself covers 1,575 square metres — a genuinely generous footprint on an island where land this size doesn't come up often. There's a mature garden with room to grow tomatoes, set up a badminton net, or simply leave as the slightly wild green sanctuary it already is. The patio catches sun from mid-morning right through to evening, which in Swedish summer means you're outside until past nine o'clock, long after the light turns that particular shade of gold that makes everyone reach for their phone cameras. Inside, the 67-square-metre main house is single-storey and well laid out. Four rooms — living area, two bedrooms, and a flexible fourth space that works as a home office, a bunk room for kids, or a proper guest room depending on the week's visitors. The kitchen was renovated in 2017 and still feels fresh: clean cabinetry, funct ... click here to read more
