Idyllic Second Home in Karl Gustav: Cozy House with Expansive Natural Plot Near Lake Mäsen

Early on a July morning, the forest around Ljungsjömålavägen is so quiet you can hear a pike break the surface of Lake Mien a kilometre down the road. The coffee's on, the kitchen window is cracked open, and the air coming through smells of pine resin and cool water. That's the kind of morning this place was built for. Completed in 2023, this three-bedroom holiday house sits on a 1,175 square metre plot in Bökemåla, a small community north of Karlshamn in Blekinge — Sweden's southernmost mainland county and one of the country's most underrated corners for a second home. The house is genuinely new, so you're not walking into someone else's renovation backlog. The bones are solid, the materials are fresh, and the energy performance reflects modern Swedish building standards. For an international buyer looking for a move-in-ready Swedish vacation home without the project headaches, that matters. The ground floor opens into a kitchen and living room that share the same open space. Large windows pull light in from the garden side, and the room has the kind of easy proportions that make it work both as a family gathering point and a quiet reading spot when everyone else is out by the lake. The kitchen itself is functional without being fussy — proper counter space, good storage, a layout that doesn't make cooking for six people feel like a military exercise. Two bedrooms sit off the entrance floor, both looking out onto the surrounding green. Upstairs, the attic level holds a third bedroom: a bit more private, a little more tucked away, good for teenagers or guests who appreciate their own corner of the house. A dedicated room on the main floor is pipe-ready for a future bathroom — the groundwork is done, the connections ar ... click here to read more

On a still Saturday morning at Sågbacken 20, you pour coffee in a compact kitchen, crack open the terrace door, and the air that comes in smells like pine resin and lake water. That's the whole point of this place. No traffic noise, no neighbour's TV through the wall — just the occasional woodpecker working away somewhere in the trees behind the garden. It's forty square metres of main house, a separate guest cottage, and 749 square metres of land sitting roughly 300 metres from the edge of Lake Mälaren. Simple on paper. Quietly extraordinary in practice. Bro is one of those Swedish addresses that locals tend to keep to themselves. Sitting in Upplands-Bro municipality, about 40 kilometres northwest of Stockholm, the area hugs the northeastern shore of Lake Mälaren — Sweden's third-largest lake and arguably its most atmospheric, edged with medieval church ruins, small islands, and sailing routes that unfurl for hundreds of kilometres. The E18 motorway puts you at Kungsängen station in under ten minutes, and from there the commuter train runs directly into Stockholm's central station in roughly 35 minutes. You can be eating lunch at Östermalm's food hall and back on the terrace in time for sunset. The house itself was built in 1971 and sits in solid, well-maintained condition. At 40 square metres, the layout is efficient without feeling tight — something Swedish summer house design tends to get right. The bedroom is fitted with built-in wardrobes, keeping clutter off the floor. The living room doubles as a flexible second sleeping space if you need it, with room for a daybed alongside a proper dining setup, and a certified open fireplace anchors the room. On the first cool September evening of the year, when the nights s ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the first thing you notice is the light. Out here on Yxlan, it hits differently — bouncing off Yxlömaren lake just 350 metres down the track, filtering through the old apple trees at the garden edge, warming the west-facing terrace before most of Stockholm has had its first coffee. That terrace, with its outdoor spa already in place, is where you'll spend a disproportionate amount of your time here. Trust that. Yxlan sits in the northern Stockholm archipelago, part of Norrtälje kommun, and it carries that particular quality of Swedish island life that people from the city spend years trying to find. Not the polished resort version. The real kind — where a country store in Köpmanholm sells pickled herring and the ferry to the mainland runs on a timetable that politely refuses to rush you. The island is connected by road and by Waxholmsbolaget ferry from Yxlövik, a few kilometres from Österviksvägen, plus Bus 632 runs several times daily between the island and the mainland. Practical, quiet, close enough to everything, far enough from the noise. The house at Österviksvägen 44 was built in 1955 and has been brought up to year-round standard — proper insulation, heating systems that handle a Swedish February without complaint. That matters more than people expect when they first start thinking about archipelago property. A summer cabin is one thing. A place you can escape to in November, light a fire, and watch the frost settle on the meadow outside — that's a different category entirely, and this property sits firmly in it. Inside, the layout is compact but genuinely usable. Three rooms plus kitchen spread across 66 square metres: a kitchen with a dedicated dining nook that handles four ... click here to read more

The coffee tastes better on this terrace. Something about the birch trees filtering the early morning light, the faint smell of salt air drifting up from Herräng's rocky shore just around the corner, the silence that isn't really silence at all — it's wood pigeons, rustling leaves, the occasional distant outboard motor. You're 350 meters from the sea. It feels like another world entirely. Råvikskroken 1 sits on a generous 2,156-square-meter plot in one of the most quietly coveted pockets of the Stockholm Archipelago. Herräng is not one of those over-photographed Swedish villages that ends up on every travel blog. It's known among those who know — jazz musicians, archipelago regulars, Stockholm families who discovered it decades ago and have been coming back every June since. The Herräng Dance Camp, one of the world's most famous swing jazz festivals, has called this village home for over 40 years. In summer, the sound of live brass carries on the wind and the village takes on a warm, international energy before settling back into its natural quiet. If you want the untouched archipelago without the weekend crowds of Vaxholm or Grisslehamn, Herräng is exactly where you end up. The house itself was built in 1978 and has been kept in good condition — this isn't a renovation project, it's a property you can start enjoying immediately. At 78 square meters across two bedrooms and one bathroom, the layout is compact but genuinely livable, the kind of floor plan that feels right rather than just adequate. The living and dining area opens up around a fireplace that earns its keep every single autumn weekend, when the evenings drop fast and the archipelago turns copper and rust. Large windows pull in the garden and the surroundin ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer evening at Hysängsvägen 36 is the light. It comes low and golden off the Furusundsleden strait, cuts through the pine trees, and lands across the west-facing deck in a way that makes you want to pour something cold and simply sit. That's the rhythm of life on Yxlan — unhurried, quiet in the best possible sense, and astonishingly close to Stockholm. Yxlan is one of the outermost accessible islands in the Norrtälje archipelago, connected to the mainland by a free car ferry that runs year-round. It's not the kind of place that ends up on tourist lists. Swedes who know the archipelago well tend to keep it to themselves. The island sits where the inner skerries give way to open Baltic water, and on clear mornings you can smell the sea before you even step outside. The property on Hysängsvägen sits in the Hysängen area, a pocket of the island where the plots are generous and the neighbors are close enough to wave to but far enough that you can't hear their conversations. The main house is 72 square meters — not large, but used well. The open-plan living room and kitchen share a single bright space with big windows on the western side, which means afternoon light fills the room naturally without any effort on your part. Direct from the living room, a large wooden deck stretches out to meet the garden. The deck is where you'll spend most of your time in June, July, and August — eating, reading, watching the light change. It faces west, which in the Swedish archipelago summer means you're outside until ten at night without a jacket. Two bedrooms in the main house keep things practical. They're quiet rooms, good for sleeping deeply after a day on the water or a long hike through the island ... click here to read more

On a still morning in late June, the lilac hedge at the front of Citadellvägen 37 fills the air with something that stops you mid-step. You stand there a moment, coffee in hand, listening to the sound of a neighbor's trowel working the soil two plots over, a distant church bell somewhere toward the center of Landskrona, and underneath it all — almost nothing. Just wind in the birch leaves. This is what daily life looks like at one of Sweden's most storied colony communities, and it's considerably more addictive than it sounds on paper. Citadellet's allotment colony is genuinely old. Built in 1929 and rooted in Sweden's deep tradition of trädgårdskoloni living, the area around Citadellvägen feels lifted out of another era — in the best possible way. The winding footpaths between plots are narrow and unhurried. The cottages are small and individual. The gardens are lavish, seriously tended, and strikingly varied: one plot is a riot of dahlias, the next a productive kitchen garden with tidy rows of runner beans and dill. Nobody is rushing anywhere. The cottage at number 37 sits on approximately 500 square meters of garden and comes in at 37 square meters of interior space — compact, honest, and designed around what actually matters. Step inside and you're met with a living area that does double duty as a sleeping space, a double bed tucked into the room in a way that feels intentional rather than improvised. Light comes in well. The mood is calm. A few steps down — the floor level drops, which gives the kitchen its own distinct character — you find a room lined with warm wooden paneling and wooden floors that have clearly been looked after. It smells faintly of pine. The kitchen is small but genuinely functional, the kind ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and the smell of ripe cherries drifts in through the kitchen window at Tredje Gatan 5. The garden is already warm. You step outside in bare feet, pick a handful of fruit straight off the tree, and walk down toward Lake Båven with a thermos of coffee before most of the village has stirred. This is what owning a second home in Sparreholm actually feels like—unhurried, real, rooted in the Swedish countryside in a way that no city apartment can replicate. The house itself sits on Tredje Gatan, a quiet residential street in the heart of this small Södermanland community, about 100 kilometres southwest of Stockholm. It's a single-storey home with a basement, 71 square metres of living space, and a 760-square-metre plot that wraps around it with the kind of gentle, lived-in character that takes years to cultivate. Apple, cherry, plum, and pear trees dot the garden—not as ornamental decoration, but as working trees that produce real fruit through the summer and into autumn. Summer water supply runs from May through October for irrigation, so keeping the garden going doesn't demand heroic effort. Recent years have seen solid investment in the fabric of the building. A new air-to-water heat pump was installed, the electrical system was rewired, and interior surfaces were freshly painted and updated. These aren't cosmetic upgrades—they're the kind of infrastructure work that makes a home genuinely comfortable through a Swedish winter and energy-efficient year-round. The indoor climate is stable. You're not walking into a project; you're walking into somewhere that works. The layout is simple and honest. The main floor carries the living room, kitchen, dining area, two bedrooms, ... click here to read more

On a still July morning, you pull on your sandals and walk 250 meters down a quiet gravel path through the birch trees. The lake is glassy. You're the first one in. This is Yxtasjön, and it's essentially your front yard. That's the kind of daily rhythm Hägerbovägen 6 makes possible. A solid, well-kept 1965 house on a 3,680 square meter plot in Yxtaholm, one of the more quietly coveted pockets of Flen municipality in Södermanland — about 120 kilometers southwest of Stockholm along the E20. Three bedrooms, 104 square meters of living space, a wood-burning stove crackling in the corner come October, and more outdoor room than most people know what to do with. Swedes have been quietly holding onto places like this for generations. And they're not wrong to. The house itself is genuinely move-in ready. The interior has been freshly painted throughout — white walls that bounce light around the rooms rather than absorbing it. Large windows face the greenery, and on a summer afternoon the effect is something close to living inside a forest. The main living room is generous, anchored by a newer air-source heat pump that handles both heating and cooling efficiently across all four seasons, and the wood stove supplements it beautifully when January temperatures drop into the minus digits and you want actual warmth, not just circulated air. The kitchen has enough counter space to be functional, modern appliances, and real storage — not the kind of Swedish summer cottage kitchen where you're fighting over drawer space every morning. Three bedrooms sleep family and guests comfortably, and the bathroom covers everything you'd need for extended stays. Out back, the 3,680 square meter plot is the real conversation. Mature trees — mostl ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at Skyttsveden 39A is the light. It comes in low through the big windows, catches the surface of Lake Väsman about 150 meters down the slope, and turns the whole room the color of warm honey. By eight o'clock you're already pulling on your shoes for the walk to the water. That's just life here — quiet, unhurried, and genuinely good. Sunnansjö sits in Dalarna, the province that Swedes themselves treat as the country's emotional heartland. Midsommar is taken seriously here. Maypoles go up in the meadows, fiddle music drifts across the water, and the smell of wild strawberries and woodsmoke is so thick you could bottle it. This isn't a region performing its identity for tourists — it's just how things are. Owning a holiday home in this part of Sweden means buying into a way of life that most people only read about. The house itself was built in 1983, single-storey and solid, and it's been looked after with obvious care. Freshly renovated, it has solid wooden floors throughout, pale walls that stay cool even in July heat, and a layout that makes the most of every one of its 54 square metres. Two bedrooms sit on the entrance level — one easily doubles as a study or reading room — and above the main living space there's a sleeping loft that kids immediately claim as their own. The loft isn't counted in the official floor area, which means the actual usable space feels noticeably larger than the figures suggest. The living room is the heart of things. The windows face the lake and on grey November afternoons, when the birch trees have dropped their leaves and frost is forming on the grass, the approved fireplace in the corner earns its keep completely. There's a new air-to-air h ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a Friday evening arrival is the silence. Not the uncomfortable kind—the kind that has depth to it, layered with the creak of pine, the distant pull of the Lagan river, and maybe a woodpecker going at a birch somewhere in the 5,000-square-meter plot that's entirely yours. You cut the engine, step onto the gravel, and already the week behind you starts to dissolve. Skogsstugan—"the forest cottage"—at Putsered 64 outside Knäred is the kind of second home that Swedes have quietly kept to themselves for generations. A proper year-round house, not a draughty summer shack. Built in 1974 and significantly extended in 1996, the 77-square-meter main home has been maintained with real care: quality Traryd insulated windows, a bathroom that was fully renovated in 2011, a heat pump installed for modern efficiency, and a Vissenbjerg wood-burning stove that makes winter weekends here genuinely cozy rather than just survivable. The wooden floors, paneled ceilings with wainscoting, and wallpapered walls give the interior a Scandinavian warmth that you don't get from places renovated to look like an IKEA showroom. This is a home with character that's earned rather than staged. The open-plan living room, dining area, and kitchen form the social heart of the house. Large panoramic windows and double patio doors—new ones, high quality—open directly onto a stone-paved terrace laid in Öland limestone. On summer mornings, that terrace catches the light early. The covered section, roughly 12 square meters, has an outdoor kitchen, which means you're frying fish straight from the Lagan regardless of what the weather's doing overhead. The Kvik kitchen inside, fitted during the 1996 extension, comes with wooden counte ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a October morning and watch the mist lift off the birch trees at the edge of your nearly nine-thousand square metre lot. The wood stove in the corner is already ticking with warmth. The coffee is on. Beyond the treeline, Lake Summeln sits about a three-minute walk away, still and grey-green, waiting. This is the particular kind of quiet that people from Stockholm or Amsterdam or Hamburg spend years trying to find—and here it already comes with the house. Rud Byggningen is a 1909 farmstead-style home on the outskirts of Säffle in Värmland, Sweden's great inland lake county. The building has the solid, unhurried bones of Swedish rural construction from that era: thick walls, steep roof, a floor plan that was designed around actual living rather than architectural showmanship. Over the decades it's been updated carefully rather than gutted—the 2022 bathroom renovation brought in clean, contemporary fittings without turning the place into something soulless, and a newer air-source heat pump keeps running costs sensible year-round. The original wood-burning stove in the hallway, though? That stays. There's no good reason to remove the one thing that makes January feel like a pleasure rather than an endurance test. The house runs to 108 square metres of main living space across four rooms plus kitchen, with an additional 48 square metres of secondary space—utility rooms, storage, the kind of square footage that quietly absorbs the overflow of family life. Three bedrooms sit at the upper level, each genuinely private, each with the countryside view that you stopped noticing after a while when you first moved in but that visitors always comment on immediately. The attic is unfinished, which sound ... click here to read more

Picture this: a midsummer Saturday, and you're sitting on a wide southwest-facing wooden deck with a cup of coffee that's gone slightly cold because you kept getting distracted by the light. It does something particular here in Strömstad — bounces off the open landscape behind the house, turns everything amber by late afternoon, and just refuses to let you go inside. That's the daily reality of owning this 1930s house at Stora Ytten Karlslund, and it's the kind of thing you can't fully appreciate until you've experienced it yourself. Built in the 1930s and kept in genuinely good condition, this is a two-bedroom wooden house with 90 square meters of living space sitting on a 975-square-meter plot. Not a renovation project. Not a compromise. A proper Swedish house with original wooden floors, period architectural details, and the kind of proportions that newer builds just don't replicate — rooms that feel considered rather than squeezed. The large windows weren't put there for the listing photos. They're there because someone who built this place understood that Scandinavian light is precious, and you catch every last beam of it when you can. The layout is practical without being rigid. Two bedrooms handle the sleeping comfortably, and the third room flexes well — home office one weekend, guest room the next, quiet reading corner the one after that. The kitchen opens directly onto the garden deck, which matters more than you'd think. Breakfast outside in August, herb pots on the railing, someone grilling something that smells good from next door — that's the rhythm of this place in summer. The bathroom has been updated with modern fixtures while the rest of the house keeps its older bones intact, which is exactly the bal ... click here to read more

Step outside on a Saturday morning in October, the air sharp with the smell of pine resin and leaf smoke drifting from a neighbor's garden two fields over. The Lagan River catches the low autumn light about a ten-minute walk from your front door. You're at the end of a road — there is literally no through traffic — and the only sound is the occasional creak of the old apple trees along the garden edge. This is what 200 square meters of well-kept Swedish countryside living actually feels like at Grönö 3551. Built in the 1930s when Swedish rural construction was about permanence rather than speed, the house has the kind of bones that later decades couldn't replicate — solid framing, generous room proportions, and a relationship with natural light that feels genuinely considered. The large windows don't just let daylight in; they frame views of open countryside that change week by week through the seasons. Snowfall turns the 2,401-square-meter plot into something from a Carl Larsson painting in January. By June it's all long grass, wild strawberries along the fence line, and evenings that don't get properly dark until almost midnight. The owners have made the practical investments that really count. A modern air-to-water heat pump handles the heavy lifting on heating, backed by solar panels with battery storage that meaningfully cut running costs year-round. Two fireplaces — one in the main living area, one elsewhere in the house — mean you're never dependent on a single heat source, and they bring a particular kind of warmth that thermostats simply can't replicate on a February evening when the temperature outside drops to minus ten. The roof is recently replaced, which matters enormously in a Swedish climate where freez ... click here to read more

Early July mornings at this place have a particular quality. The mist sits low over Lake Nömmen, the water is glassy and completely still, and the only sound from inside the glazed conservatory is the occasional knock of a woodpecker somewhere deep in the birch trees behind the garden. You pour your coffee. You're not going anywhere in a hurry. That feeling — that specific, unhurried Swedish summer morning feeling — is what this cottage in Kristinelunds stugområde has been quietly delivering to its owners for decades. Sitting on a generous 770-square-meter plot in one of Vetlanda municipality's most established holiday home communities, this 60-square-meter house was built in 1960 and has been kept in genuinely good condition. It's not a project. You won't be calling contractors the week you arrive. Move in, open the windows, and start living the life you bought it for. The lake is 100 meters from the front door. Lake Nömmen is one of Småland's cleaner freshwater lakes — the kind where you can actually see the sandy bottom at the swimming spot, and where perch and pike fishing is taken seriously by the locals who've been doing it for generations. The private boat dock that comes with this property is the detail that changes everything. You don't have to share a communal slip, queue for access, or drag a kayak down a muddy bank. Your boat is there when you want it, full stop. Inside, the layout is honest and practical. The kitchen is well-equipped with real storage — enough bench space to actually cook a proper meal, not just heat something up. It opens into a living room where large windows frame the lake view and drag light deep into the room even on grey autumn afternoons. Two bedrooms handle a small family or a cou ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a still morning at Paradistorg 23 is the silence. Not the absence-of-something silence of a city apartment at 3am, but a full, living quiet — birdsong threading through birch trees, the distant creak of a wooden gate, the smell of damp grass after a night of Swedish rain. This is what people mean when they talk about getting away from it all, except here, you actually mean it. Built in 1909 and standing on a generous 4,480 square metres of garden in the small village of Finnerödja, this two-bedroom house has the kind of unhurried solidity that only comes with age. The walls have held warmth through more than a century of Värmland winters. The kitchen's wood-burning stove — still in daily use — has fed generations. You get the sense that the house has already been through everything and come out just fine. Inside, 100 square metres of living space is thoughtfully arranged across four rooms. The bedrooms are proper-sized, not architectural afterthoughts. The recently renovated bathroom brings in clean, modern fittings without erasing the house's original personality. And the living room, anchored by a pellet stove that clicks on with a low hum and fills the room with radiant heat within minutes, is exactly the kind of place where you abandon plans to go out and end up reading until midnight instead. Large windows face the garden on multiple sides, and in the long golden stretch of a Swedish summer evening, the light through those windows does something extraordinary — the whole interior turns amber, and time slows down noticeably. The garden is the real story here. Nearly half a hectare of lawn, mature trees, and open sky. Space enough for a kitchen garden, a fire pit, a trampoline, a green ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late June, and the Baltic light is already streaming through the west-facing windows by seven. You pull open the terrace door, coffee in hand, and the smell of pine and cut grass drifts in from a garden that stretches out across 1,462 square meters of your own land. The neighbor's kids are already on their bikes. Somewhere down the road, toward the water, a motorboat engine turns over. This is Enviken life — and once you've tasted it, it's hard to let go. Himlajordsbacken 14 sits on an elevated plot in the Enviken area of Norrtälje municipality, about 550 meters from the shoreline of the Stockholm Archipelago's southern reaches. Norrtälje itself is one of the most sought-after second-home corridors in Sweden — a fact that has kept property values here consistently strong while the area has held onto its genuine, unpolished character. This isn't a resort development. It's a real community with working families, local traditions, and a landscape that changes dramatically with the seasons. The house was built in 1975 and covers 56 square meters of interior space — a compact but intelligently laid out footprint that doesn't waste a centimeter. Living room, open kitchen, two bedrooms, one bathroom. The layout is honest and functional. Large windows pull in light from morning to dusk, and the open connection between the kitchen and living area means the space lives larger than the numbers suggest. The west-facing terrace off the main room is the kind of outdoor space that justifies everything: dinner outside on long summer evenings, a glass of wine as the light softens over the garden, a spot for the kids to leave their boots after a muddy afternoon in the woods. Critically, this is ... click here to read more

Step outside on a September morning, coffee in hand, and the air carries the faint sweetness of fallen plums from the old orchard. Nothing moves except a pair of cranes crossing low over the meadow. No traffic. No sirens. Just the slow exhale of the Swedish countryside doing its thing. That's what you get at the end of Nordankil Annelund — a gravel track that the rest of the world simply forgot to follow. This three-bedroom house in Möklinta, Sala kommun, sits on a full 5,000 square meters of mixed garden, paddock, and open lawn, with forest pressing quietly at the edges. Built in 1909 and in good condition throughout, it carries that particular solidity you find in old Swedish rural homes — thick walls, purposeful rooms, windows sized to frame the landscape rather than just admit light. At 80 square meters, the interior is compact but not cramped. Everything is where it needs to be. Heating here is a combination that makes sense for this latitude: a modern air-source heat pump takes the heavy lifting, a wood-burning stove in the living room handles the mood-setting, and direct electric heating fills in wherever needed. Sit by that stove on a January evening when the thermometer dips to minus fifteen and the birches outside are glazed with frost, and you'll understand why Swedes have perfected the art of being indoors. The kitchen is functional and generous — proper counter space, room to move — and it faces out toward the garden where those apple and plum trees have been producing for longer than anyone can remember. High-speed fiber internet is already installed, which matters if you plan to work remotely or split your time between here and an urban base. The three bedrooms are quiet in the way that only genuinely r ... click here to read more

Early July in Kvarnfors and the sun barely dips below the horizon. By ten in the evening, the light outside is still this warm amber gold, and you're sitting on the grass with a coffee, listening to absolutely nothing except a woodpecker somewhere in the birch trees behind the shed. That's the kind of quiet that takes a few days to get used to — the kind you start craving the moment you leave. Kvarnfors 117 sits along the quiet rural road of Kvarnfors-Gravmark, about 30 kilometres southwest of Umeå in Västerbotten county. The address means very little to most people outside northern Sweden, and honestly, that's part of the appeal. This isn't a property on a tourist circuit. It's a proper Swedish countryside retreat — the kind of place Swedish families have been returning to summer after summer for generations — and it's now available to international buyers looking for something real. The house itself was built in 1975 and covers 59 square metres across a sensible, uncluttered layout: a living room, a functional kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Nothing excessive. That's deliberate. Swedish summer houses at this price point aren't about square footage — they're about the 1,996 square metres of land around them, the trees at the border of the plot, the water 550 metres down the track. The house is the base camp. Life happens outside. Inside, large windows pull the greenery in. The living room catches afternoon light well, and in midsummer, the brightness lasts so long you keep forgetting what time it is. The kitchen is practical — set up for real cooking, not just reheating — and after a day picking wild blueberries or paddling on Kvarnforssjön, the ability to cook a proper meal matters. Both bedrooms sleep adults ... click here to read more
