Imagine waking up to the gentle rustle of leaves and the sweet scent of pine in the air. This is the everyday reality at Göksby 303, where the hustle and bustle of city life feels a world away.

A Glimpse into Swedish Heritage
Upon entering, you're greeted by a spacious living room, the heart of the home, where a beautiful tiled stove stands as a centerpiece. This classic feature, reminiscent of early 20th-century elegance, promises cozy evenings by the fire. The original paneled doors have been preserved, adding to the home's authentic atmosphere.
The kitchen, equipped with a wood-burning stove, offers a rustic cooking experience that harks back to simpler times. Adjacent to the kitchen is a chamber with another tiled stove, providing additional living or sleeping space.
Upstairs, a small hallway leads to a furnished family room and a smaller bedroom, each featuring a wood-burning stove for added warmth and ambiance. This upper floor is versatile, ideal for guests, children, or as a quiet study.
Embrace the Outdoors
The property sits on a picturesque 900 square meter garden plot, adorned with mature trees and shrubs.
