You wake up to the sound of birdsong drifting through the window, the smell of pine and lake water on the morning air. Through the kitchen glass, the garden stretches out in a wash of green — old fruit trees, a flat lawn still wet with dew, and somewhere beyond the tree line, Bodatorpsträsket glinting in the early light. This is a Tuesday in July at Bodatorpsvägen 14. And it's yours. This three-bedroom summer house in Djurhamn, on the island of Djurö in Värmdö municipality, sits on a generous 2,793 square metre plot in the Bodatorp area — one of the most sought-after pockets of the Stockholm archipelago for Swedish families and international buyers alike. The property is in good condition, ready to use from day one, and carries that rare quality of feeling genuinely lived-in rather than staged. Every corner has a story: the covered terrace where evenings tend to stretch long, the wood-burning stove that makes October here not just bearable but actually cosy, the great room that somehow fits everyone when the whole family descends in August. The main house is 55 square metres of practical, warm living space — compact enough to run easily, large enough for real comfort. There's a kitchen with a proper dining area where long lunches happen naturally, a bedroom tucked away for quiet, a separate toilet with an incineration toilet, and a shower room with a shower cabin. The wood stove in the great room is not decorative; it's the heart of the space, doing real work on those shoulder-season weekends when midsummer has passed but nobody wants to stop coming up. The covered terrace off the main house is where the day tends to begin and end — coffee in the morning light, wine as the sun drops behind the spruce trees. But the ma ... click here to read more

Main house and garden

On a still July morning, the smell of salt air drifts through the kitchen window before you've even made coffee. The Swedish west coast does that — pulls you outside before you're ready. From Gustav Bäcks väg, it's a ten-minute walk down to Eriksbergs beach, where the water is clear enough to see your feet and the only sound is the occasional creak of a sailboat. This is what you bought it for. Built in 2023, this compact year-round house in Bokenäs sits on 631 square metres of manageable garden, a short drive from the Bohuslän coastline that artists and writers have been quietly obsessing over for a century. At 45 square metres, it's not trying to be something it isn't — it's a proper escape, designed to be easy. One bedroom, one bathroom, an open-plan living and kitchen area that catches the afternoon light, and a loft upstairs that fits a double bed with room to spare. The layout means two people can genuinely live here without stepping on each other, and a third or fourth can sleep comfortably when you want company. The patio deserves a mention early, because you'll spend a lot of your time there. Long Swedish summer evenings — and they are genuinely long, light until eleven or later — make outdoor dining less of a nice-to-have and more of a daily ritual. The garden itself is low on demands. Mow it, water the odd plant, done. If you've had a holiday home in France or Italy and spent half the visit managing the grounds, you'll appreciate this. Bokenäs is one of those places that regulars are slightly reluctant to talk about too loudly. The peninsula sits between the Gullmarn fjord to the north and the open coastline further south, and the result is a patchwork of inlets, rocky outcrops, sea pines, and small boat ha ... click here to read more

On a quiet morning in early June, you step outside your back door at Björnmossevägen 60 with a coffee in hand. The garden stretches out ahead of you — a full 2,560 square meters of it — and somewhere beyond the treeline, maybe 300 meters off, you can hear the faint splash of a swimmer at one of the nearby lakes. The air smells of pine resin and wet grass. Stockholm feels like a world away, even though it's only about 35 kilometers north. That's Brottby. That's what draws people here. Tucked into the Garns-Ekskogen forest landscape within Vallentuna municipality, this two-bedroom house sits on a generous private plot that gives you something increasingly rare around the Swedish capital: genuine space, genuine quiet, and genuine proximity to nature that isn't manicured or managed into blandness. Built in 2018, the house covers 82 square meters with a clean, light-filled interior that needs nothing done to it. Move in, hang your coat, and start living. The layout makes sense for the way people actually use a second home or holiday base. The main living area runs open between the lounge and dining space, with oversized windows pulling in the kind of northern light that makes everything look slightly better than it is. The kitchen is modern and properly equipped — not the hollow showroom kind, but the kind where you can actually cook a Sunday elk stew after a long autumn hike. Two bedrooms give you flexibility: one for sleeping, one for a bunk room for kids, or a proper home office if you're splitting time between Stockholm work and forest-life weekends. The bathroom is contemporary, finished well, and does exactly what it needs to. Outside is where this property earns its price tag. The 2,560-square-meter plot is the rea ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

On a quiet July morning at Gnejsvägen 9, you step out onto the enclosed balcony with a mug of coffee and the garden is already alive — bees working the raspberry canes, light cutting through the birch canopy, a woodpecker hammering somewhere behind the guest house. This is the version of Sweden that Swedes themselves keep to themselves. Mariefred is one of those small towns that gets everything right without trying too hard. Cobblestone streets, a waterfront that hasn't been over-developed, and the unmistakable silhouette of Gripsholm Castle rising above Lake Mälaren — one of the oldest Renaissance fortresses in Scandinavia and the unlikely backdrop to your afternoon walk. The town sits about 65 kilometres west of Stockholm, just over an hour by car, or you can take the steamboat Mariefred from Klara Mälarstrand in the capital — a genuinely beautiful two-and-a-half-hour crossing across the lake that makes every arrival feel like an event rather than a commute. The property itself carries the name 'Skogsgläntan' — Forest Glade — which tells you exactly what the current owners experienced here over the years. The plot is flat, deeply private, and ringed with mature trees that do the work of any fence. From the street you'd barely know the house was there. Inside, the layout makes immediate sense: three generous bedrooms, a living room with enough space to actually live in rather than just admire, a period-style kitchen that still has its original character intact, and a renovated bathroom that handles the modern comforts without erasing the soul of the place. The carport is new. The heating system has been updated. These are the upgrades that matter — not cosmetic, but structural and practical, the kind that mean you mov ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

Stand at the kitchen window on a Tuesday morning in July, coffee in hand, and the only sounds reaching you are birdsong and the distant knock of a wooden hull against a dock. That's Matrosvägen 8. It sits at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac, three kilometres south of Grisslehamn village, on a natural plot that feels far wilder and more private than 2,727 square metres should feel. This is a proper Swedish coastal property — year-round insulated, intelligently laid out, and set up for a lifestyle that moves between the pool, the sea, and the archipelago in easy, unhurried steps. The main house runs to 80 square metres, and it earns every one of them. The living room centres on a wood-burning stove that pulls the whole room together — on October evenings when the birch trees outside have gone amber and the temperature drops fast, this becomes the most important piece of furniture in the house. Large windows look out directly onto the garden, and in spring, when the wild cherries flower along the boundary, the view through that glass is genuinely something to stop and look at. The kitchen is generous enough to seat people around a table while something is cooking — a proper sociable kitchen, not a galley you have to take turns standing in. The bedroom is calm and well-proportioned, and the tiled bathroom with shower and WC is clean, modern, and functional. Nothing overcomplicated. The whole house is designed to be easy. What makes this property genuinely unusual for the area is the garden setup. In the middle of the plot sits a large insulated swimming pool with a retractable roof. In practice, this means you're swimming in May and still swimming in September, which in the Stockholm archipelago is not something to take ... click here to read more

Main house and garden view

Picture a Tuesday morning in late July. You've left the house on Gata 29 with a thermos of coffee, walked the five minutes down to Grönemad harbor, and you're untying your boat before most of the village has woken up. The Bohuslän archipelago stretches out in front of you — smooth granite skerries, dark green islands, the kind of light that northern Sweden does in summer that you simply cannot photograph well enough to explain to people who haven't seen it. That's the morning this property makes possible. Grebbestad sits on the western coast of Sweden, tucked into the Tanums municipality on the Bohuslän coast about 130 kilometers north of Gothenburg. It's one of those small Swedish coastal towns — population hovering around 1,500 — that somehow punches well above its weight in the summer. The harbor fills with sailboats from Norway and Denmark. The seafood shacks along the promenade sell some of the freshest oysters and langoustines you'll find anywhere in Scandinavia; the Grebbestad oyster in particular has a mild, mineral flavor that local restaurants have been building menus around for decades. During the Grebbestad Oyster Festival in October, the whole town turns into something between a food market and a street party, and it draws visitors from across Sweden and Norway every year. This is a house that has been sitting quietly on its 1,301-square-meter plot since 1964, and it still has the original bones of that era — the kitchen with its period detailing, the compact layout that was designed for real living rather than Instagram staging, the deep basement running the full length of the ground floor. It's been inspected by Fukt & Byggkonsult and the sale includes insurance against hidden defects, so you're not walk ... click here to read more

Front view of the house and garden

Step outside on a January morning and the ice on Storsjön stretches further than you can see, perfectly groomed, with the faint scrape of skate blades drifting up from the plowed track that runs just 100 meters from your front door. In summer, that same shoreline smells of warm pine resin and lake water, and your private boat is already tied up at the berth, ready to go. This is Ångersnäsvägen 30 in Årsunda — a 2020-built year-round house in Sandvikens kommun that genuinely earns the word "practical" without ever feeling dull. Built four years ago to current Swedish energy standards, the 74-square-meter main house is single-level, which matters more than people expect. No stairs to navigate after a long ski day, no awkward layout to work around when you're hosting family for midsummer. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space flows naturally, and the large windows pull in so much Nordic light during summer that the interior almost glows. On a grey November afternoon, that same layout means a single source of warmth fills the whole space quickly and evenly — a small but real advantage in this climate. The kitchen is fully fitted with modern appliances and enough counter space to actually cook in, not just reheat things. The dining area handles a proper table for six without crowding anyone. Two bedrooms, proportioned sensibly — one for a double bed with room to spare, one flexible enough to swap between guest room, kids' room, or a quiet place to work when the rest of the house is busy. The bathroom has been finished with clean, contemporary fixtures and practical storage. Nothing over-engineered, just a house that works. What makes this property a genuinely interesting purchase is the guest cottage sitting sepa ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning in Hallstavik and the air smells like warm pine resin and wet grass. The forest starts just beyond the wooden fence. Coffee in hand, you sit on the deck and watch a thrush work its way through the raised beds. This is not a fantasy—this is a Tuesday. Sandgropsvägen 26 is a red-painted Swedish cottage from 1887 sitting on a 1,860-square-metre plot that has been shaped, planted, and cared for over many years into something genuinely worth seeing. The garden alone would justify the visit. Gravel paths thread between fruit trees, mature perennials, and raised planting beds that produce through late spring all the way into October. There's a small greenhouse where you can start seedlings in March while snow is still piled against the fence outside. A guest cottage sits separately on the plot—useful whether you have friends coming for midsommar or you need a quiet room away from everything to read, paint, or work. Inside the main house, the kitchen sets the tone immediately. Open shelving, beadboard paneling, natural light coming through small windows at an angle that makes the whole room feel like it belongs to a different century—in the best way. Nothing is showy. The materials are honest and the proportions are right. You can cook a proper meal here: Swedish classics like raggmunk with lingonberries or a slow-simmered fish soup made from whatever the local fishermen brought into Grisslehamn that morning. The living room next to it is quiet and warm, the kind of room where you sit down intending to read for twenty minutes and look up two hours later. Soft colors, natural textures, windows facing the garden. Upstairs is more compact but well thought out. A newer bathroom handles the practical ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and walk 300 meters through the trees in your bathrobe. That's how close Lake Kolmaren is. The water is clear, the dock is quiet, and you're back at the kitchen table with coffee before anyone else in the house has stirred. This is the kind of thing that happens when you own a place on Boängsvägen in Spillersboda — and it happens every single day you're here. The house sits at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Frötuna-Spillersboda area of Norrtälje municipality, roughly an hour north of Stockholm by car or SL bus. It borders a public green area on one side, which means no future neighbor crowding in. The plot runs to 2,262 square meters — a generous spread by any measure — and it moves through the property in layers: a southwest-facing terrace catching afternoon sun, flat grass wide enough for a proper game of kubb or badminton, then rocky outcrops that push up through the ground and form natural sheltered spots where you can sit with a book without anyone finding you. The apple trees are old and reliable. Currant bushes produce more than any one family can eat. In August, you'll find wild blueberries and lingonberries along the forest edge without walking more than a few minutes. Come September, the same forest throws up kantareller — chanterelles — in quantities that make you wish you'd brought a bigger basket. Lilacs bloom hard in May and fill the downstairs rooms with scent when you leave the windows open. Inside, the house is 64 square meters across three bedrooms, which is compact but genuinely well-used. The living room has a soapstone wood-burning stove — not a decorative one, a real working heat source that makes late-October weekends here entirely viable. Large windows look out ov ... click here to read more

Step out onto the deck at Söderstig 3 on a July morning and the Gulf of Bothnia is barely a two-minute walk away. The air carries that particular mix of pine resin and salt water that you only get along this stretch of the Gävleborg coast. The soapstone stove inside still holds a little warmth from the evening before. This is what owning a holiday home in Axmar actually feels like — unhurried, deeply restorative, and about as far from city noise as you need it to be. Axmar sits on the Hälsingland coastline, roughly 40 kilometres north of Gävle and about a 2.5-hour drive from Stockholm. It is not the kind of place that shows up on tourist maps, and the people who live here — both year-round and seasonally — tend to like it that way. The village has developed quietly around its harbour, its community association, and the kind of neighbourly traditions that are increasingly rare. Midsommar here is the real thing: a maypole goes up near the marina, someone brings out a speaker, and the long Nordic evening stretches past midnight with no one particularly in a hurry to go anywhere. The house itself sits on a 1,520-square-metre plot on Söderstig, a quiet residential road lined with similar summer properties and year-round homes. The building has been methodically updated over recent years — new roof, new windows, a new front door and patio door, and an air-source heat pump that keeps running costs manageable in the colder months. None of these are flashy improvements, but they are exactly the kind that matter: the ones that mean you arrive in May and everything just works. Inside, the ground floor runs as an open plan from kitchen to living room, which gives the 75-square-metre main house a sense of space that the floor area ... click here to read more

Exterior view of Söderstig 3

Step outside on a July morning, coffee in hand, and the air already smells like warm pine and cut grass. The Enviken community pool is a five-minute walk away, someone is dragging a kayak toward Vaxtunasjön down the road, and the Baltic is close enough that you can be on the water before the day heats up properly. This is Galoppbacken 4 — a solid, move-in ready holiday home in Bergshamra that gives you all of that, plus a 1,425-square-metre garden, a guest cottage, and a hot tub on the patio for when the sun finally goes down. Bergshamra sits in the heart of Norrtälje municipality, the great coastal retreat for Stockholmers who want archipelago access without giving up convenience. That matters for buyers thinking about rental income or resale: demand for holiday homes within 90 minutes of Stockholm has stayed remarkably firm, and this corner of Roslagen — the name locals use for the string of coastal parishes north of the capital — is especially popular because it combines genuine waterfront access with year-round infrastructure. The SL bus to Norrtälje town runs from a stop you can walk to in minutes, and from Norrtälje it's a direct ride into Stockholm. Practical, and that's the point. The house itself was built in 1978 and covers 58 square metres — compact, but thought through. The living room anchors the ground floor, and in winter the fireplace does exactly what a fireplace should do: it makes you want to stay inside with a book. There's also an air-source heat pump installed, so heating costs are reasonable even through January and February when Norrtälje can drop well below zero for weeks at a stretch. A covered terrace opens directly off the living room, and that covered part is key — Swedish summers are brill ... click here to read more

Exterior view of the house and garden

Picture this: a Saturday morning in late June, pale Nordic light filtering through hand-printed wallpaper at six a.m., the smell of birch smoke drifting up from the kitchen's wood-burning stove, and absolute silence outside — except for the soft shuffle of ducks settling onto the garden pond. That's what mornings feel like at this 18th-century country house in Stjärnhov, just outside Gnesta in Södermanland. It's a rare thing, a property that actually delivers on the rural Sweden fantasy rather than just hinting at it. The house sits on 4,299 square meters of mature garden in Herrökna Sofielund, a quiet hamlet surrounded by forest and farmland roughly 80 kilometers southwest of Stockholm. From the capital you're looking at just over an hour by car, or a train to Gnesta station followed by a short drive. For buyers based in Stockholm who want a proper country escape without the half-day journey, this area — locally called Sörmland — is something of an open secret. The land rolls gently here, dotted with red-painted timber houses, small lakes, and riding trails through spruce forest. No dramatic mountains, no coastal circus. Just unhurried Swedish countryside at its most honest. The garden alone makes this place worth serious attention. Whoever planted it thought long and hard: established fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, herb patches near the kitchen door, climbing roses over the wooden fence, and a pond with enough depth to attract frogs in spring and ice-skaters' shadows in February. Gravel paths loop between beds of peonies, hollyhocks, and what appears to be a small cutting garden for the house. It's the kind of garden that has its own rhythm through the seasons — you're not maintaining it so much as participating ... click here to read more

Stand on the plot at Måsvägen 31 on a Tuesday morning in late May and the birch trees are already full and loud with wood pigeons. The water is just 500 meters away—you can't see it yet through the pines, but you can smell it. That particular mix of cold saltwater and sun-warmed granite that defines the Stockholm archipelago. This is Strömma, a quiet fold of Värmdö municipality where you don't arrive accidentally. You come because you've heard about it from someone who has a place out here and won't stop talking about it. The house itself was built in 1958 and it shows its age in all the right ways—solid bones, a low roofline that sits comfortably in the landscape, and windows that frame the surrounding greenery like paintings. Forty-three square meters, two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's compact, but it's fully winterized, which in this corner of Sweden means something real: you can be here in February when the ice on the canal turns blue-white and the thermometer drops below minus ten, and the house holds warmth. Swedes build for winter the way coastal Italians build for earthquakes. This place has been doing its job for over sixty years. What makes Måsvägen 31 genuinely different from most holiday properties in this price range isn't the house—it's the land and what you can do with it. The plot runs to 2,925 square meters, which is a serious piece of ground. It backs directly onto a large public green area, so the sense of space extends far beyond the legal boundary. And the building rights here are unusually generous: up to 250 square meters of building footprint (BYA), a total gross floor area of 360 square meters across all floors, a permitted height of 6.5 meters, plus additional outbuildings up to 80 square meter ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in September, the smell of pine drifting in through the bedroom window, the surface of Bullaresjön completely still. You pull on a sweater, put coffee on, and stand at the kitchen window watching the mist lift off the water. That's not a fantasy—that's a Tuesday here at Klageröd 5, in one of Bohuslän's quieter, less tourist-trampled corners. Bullaren sits in Tanums kommun, about 20 kilometers inland from the dramatic granite coastline of the Swedish west coast. If you know the area, you already know why people keep coming back. If you don't, here's the short version: it's the kind of place where your phone starts feeling irrelevant by mid-afternoon. The house itself is a single-story 78-square-meter property in solid condition—renovated, clean, and genuinely move-in ready. Two bedrooms, one well-fitted bathroom with a proper shower, and an open-plan living and dining area built around a wood-burning fireplace. That fireplace isn't decorative. Come November, when the temperature drops and the lake turns gunmetal grey, it's the center of the whole house. Evenings are spent there. Long weekends are organized around it. There's a reason Swedish interior culture puts such stock in the concept of eldstad—a real fire changes the character of a room entirely. The kitchen has been updated without losing the practical, unfussy character that Swedish country homes do so well. Enough counter space to actually cook a proper meal—and you will, because the local food culture here is built around doing exactly that. The village store in nearby Östad stocks local honey, smoked meats, and seasonal produce. In summer, the roadside stands along Route 163 sell strawberries and new potatoes by the ki ... click here to read more

Picture a Saturday morning in late June. The Swedish sun has been up since four, and by the time you pull on your jacket and step onto the wrap-around terrace with a mug of coffee, the birch forest at the edge of the garden is already doing that thing it does in Södermanland summers — throwing long gold light through the leaves while the air smells faintly of pine resin and damp earth. Lake Långhalsen is a four-minute walk down the path. Nobody else is awake yet. This is Utterspåret 11. It's a compact, honest house — 57 square meters built in 1979, maintained with genuine care, and set on a 1,620 square meter plot that gives you the kind of breathing room that's increasingly hard to find at this price point in Sweden. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen that works, and a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove that you'll use far more than you expect once October settles over Nyköping and the lake mist starts rolling in each morning. The stove isn't decorative. Come winter, it's the heart of the house. The terrace wraps the exterior and has both open and covered sections — a deliberate design that Swedes know well. You want sun in May when the temperature is still erratic. You want shade in July when it isn't. You want cover in August when the afternoon rain passes through. The terrace handles all of it, and it's large enough for a proper outdoor table, a couple of sun loungers, and whatever outdoor project you get absorbed in over a long weekend. The plot itself borders forest on one side, with no immediate neighbours on that flank. The garden is flat, open, and generous — room for a vegetable patch, a trampoline, a fire pit, a hammock between the birches. The side building currently runs as a small workshop a ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in late September, the birch trees along Kantarellvägen have gone full gold, and you're sitting on a wide timber terrace with a mug of coffee watching mist lift off Nedingen lake. No traffic noise. Just the faint knock of a rowboat against a dock somewhere down the hill, and the occasional rustle of something moving through the undergrowth at the edge of your 1,958-square-meter garden. This is the rhythm of life at Fornbo Kantarellvägen 58 — and it's about 100 kilometers from Stockholm's Centralen station. The house sits on a peninsula that juts into Nedingen, one of the cleaner and quieter lakes in Södermanland, within the well-established Fornbo recreational community. It was built in 1980 and has been kept in genuinely good condition — this isn't a project property requiring gut renovation before you can enjoy a single weekend. The structure is solid, the winterization means you can use it from January ice to December snow, and municipal water and sewage connections spare you the headaches that come with private wells and septic systems on older Swedish holiday properties. Move in, turn the key, light the fire. That fireplace deserves a moment. The living room has large windows that face toward the water, and on evenings when the temperature drops, the fireplace does real work — not decorative work, but actual warmth-producing work that makes the room feel like somewhere you'd genuinely want to spend three hours after a day of hiking. The living area flows naturally, 65 square meters used efficiently without feeling cramped, and the kitchen is practical and well-equipped for the kind of cooking that happens at a lake house: big pots of elk stew, fresh-caught perch fried in butte ... click here to read more

Step outside on a July morning and the first thing you notice is the smell of warm pine resin. Not the synthetic kind you find in a candle — the real thing, rising from the forest floor as the sun climbs over the eastern gable of this 1969 house in Havängs Sommarby. The birds are already going. Somewhere down the lane, a bicycle bell rings once and fades. This is what summer sounds like in Österlen. Havängsvägen 6 sits on a freehold plot of 1,289 square meters in one of the genuinely rare corners of Swedish coastal property — Havängs Sommarby, a small community tucked between Kivik and Brösarp on the Skåne coast. Freehold plots in this particular village are uncommon. Most of the surrounding vacation properties sit on leasehold land, which makes this one a different proposition entirely for buyers who want clean, uncomplicated ownership. The same family held it for over fifty years. That kind of tenure tells you something about a place. The house runs to 79 square meters across one and a half floors, sensibly arranged with two bedrooms on the ground level, both catching morning light through south- and east-facing windows. The open living room pulls you in with original wooden floors and a proper fireplace — the kind that makes an October weekend here feel genuinely cosy rather than just possible. There's something quietly satisfying about a house that still has its original bones intact. The spiral staircase leads up to a third bedroom tucked into the eastern gable, and beyond that, an attic space with real potential for conversion if the family grows or the guest list expands. The kitchen is compact but works well — room for a small table, good light, the kind of setup where breakfast happens unhurriedly and nobody ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning here is the light. By seven o'clock it's already cutting low and golden across Bräckeviken, bouncing off the water and right through the kitchen window while the wood-burning stove crackles to life. That's the rhythm of a day at Vårviks-Backa Bräcke 1 — unhurried, deeply Swedish, and utterly removed from the noise of ordinary life. Set on a 5,510-square-metre plot in the Dalsland region of western Sweden, this 1840s farmstead sits just 150 metres from the calm inlet of Bräckeviken, which feeds directly into the celebrated Dalsland Canal. The canal — a 250-kilometre waterway connecting dozens of lakes across Värmland and Dalsland — is one of Scandinavia's great slow-travel routes, and having it practically at your doorstep changes the texture of daily life in ways that are hard to overstate. You can kayak from the property's public jetty to the next village before breakfast. You can watch narrowboats drift past in the evening from the terrace, awning cranked out, glass in hand. The main house is 110 square metres of considered, authentic renovation. The original structure from 1840 has been kept honest — thick walls, low doorways, the kind of spatial logic that only comes from buildings that have weathered nearly two centuries of Swedish winters. Walk into the kitchen and the centrepiece is a traditional wood-burning stove with a proper baking oven. Not decorative. Actually used. The smell of fresh bread on a Sunday morning in here is reason enough to buy the place. The living room is anchored by a Royal Viking fireplace, a cast-iron Swedish classic that throws serious heat and creates the kind of amber glow on a November evening that you'll remember long after you've gone ... click here to read more
