This 1919 house for sale in Dragør has a sea view over the Øresund, an 871 m² plot and a short walk to the old harbour. It is a half-timbered home with a red tiled roof, five bedrooms and a mature garden, on a quiet street south of Copenhagen.
The house is in good condition and has been looked after for decades. Plank floors, large windows and an open fireplace give it the character of an old Dragør home. The kitchen and bathroom have been updated, so you can move in without a building project.
The House and Its 871 m² Garden
You arrive at a half-timbered facade under a red tiled roof, with mature trees and flower beds around it. The garden is the main attraction here. It has established shrubs, lawn, and a terrace for morning coffee or summer barbecues. At 871 m², it is large for a town this close to the capital, with room for children to play, a vegetable patch, or a later extension, subject to the usual local planning approval.
Inside, the 181 m² of living space is spread over two floors, with seven rooms in total. The ground floor has the living and dining areas, and the living room is the one to see. Its large windows face the garden and, beyond it, the water. The kitchen is open to the dining area, so cooking and conversation happen in the same room.
Upstairs are the bedrooms, with wooden floors and plenty of built-in storage. The master bedroom looks straight out over the Øresund. One of the other rooms can serve as a home office or guest room, depending on how you live. There is also a 22 m² basement and a separate 46 m² commercial area, which is worth asking about at a viewing.
Living in Dragør: Harbour, Old Town and Beaches
Dragør is an old fishing and pilot town on the southeast tip of Amager, facing the Øresund and, across the water, Sweden. Its cobbled lanes and yellow-washed cottages are among the best-preserved in Denmark. Løkkevej is a short walk from the harbour. In summer the cafés and restaurants there fill up, and the marina is busy with sailing boats.
Beaches, coastal paths and cycle routes are close by. Sailing, fishing, golf and horse riding are all available locally. For families, Dragør Skole is about 285 m away, Nordstrandskolen is around 800 m, and St. Magleby Skole is about 2 km.
Getting There: Copenhagen and the Airport
Copenhagen Airport at Kastrup is only a short drive from Dragør, usually 10 to 15 minutes. Central Copenhagen is roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car, depending on traffic, and buses and main roads make commuting realistic. That combination is why this village works both for people who live here all year and for a second home near Copenhagen with easy flights from the rest of Europe.
