Description
Step into a slice of Scandinavian serenity at Kolmilevägen 11, nestled in the tranquil village of Skyttorp, in the heart of Uppsala Municipality, Sweden. As a real estate agent at a global agency, I can assure you this country home presents a true oasis for those looking to escape the clamor of city life without entirely forgoing modern conveniences. It’s quite the gem, and I've got so much to tell you about it!
Where to start? Well, the house sits pretty on a quiet street, offering a generous layout within its cozy 46 square meters. While modest in size, it’s all about how you use the space, and let me tell you, this property has already made a great head start. This winterized cottage comprises two snug yet inviting bedrooms, making it a delightful nook for a small family or a perfect retreat for a couple looking for relaxation.
The heart of this abode is a wonderful half-open floor plan that seamlessly connects the kitchen and the living room. It’s just perfect for those cozy nights in or when you feel like uniting the family around the table for a hearty meal. The renovations have been done tastefully—not too over the top, just a good, solid job, making the living environment comfortable and liveable right away, without any pressing need for immediate updates.
But wait, there’s more! A lovely little guest house sits on the property too. With a shiny new roof overhead, it’s poised and ready for guests or even a growing family. The guest house is spacious, featuring a large room and a smaller kitchen area, which is quite flexible, should you need an extra bedroom. It’s accommodating without being grandiose, lending itself to multiple uses depending on your needs.
Outside, there's a practical workshop ready for tinkering, creating, or just storing all those bits and bobs that you’ll want to keep out of the main living spaces. The shower room has been conveniently renovated and situated with outdoor access, making it ideal for guests or kids running in from outside adventures.
Skyttorp itself is an area any nature enthusiast would love. Here, you're not just buying a home; you're investing in an outdoor lifestyle. The dense, lush forests brimming with wildlife and trails are perfect for hiking, berry-picking, and mushroom foraging. It’s a slower pace of life here, ideal for those who prioritize peace over hustle.
And if you're concerned about connectivity, don’t worry. Though tranquil, this place is surprisingly well connected. Just a short stroll away, you’ll find a bus stop on road 290, which conveniently takes you to Uppsala and other surrounding areas. Need to do a big shop? The quaint town of Österbybruk is just a 10-minute drive away, offering grocery stores, a hardware store, and sports facilities. You’d be surprised at how quick errands become a leisurely weekend outing with the family with such beautiful scenery along the way.
You’ll also enjoy seasonal changes here in Skyttorp, from stunning snow-laden winters perfect for cozying up indoors by the fire to refreshing summers enjoyed with jaunts to the local swimming area, complete with a diving tower. It’s a vibe—a real taste of Swedish countryside living with just the right touch of modern conveniences.
Immersing yourself in this community means jumping into a comfortable, albeit simple, lifestyle. It’s not too high-brow with luxurious trimmings, but it has warmth and potential, effortlessly blending practicality with peaceful country living.
For overseas buyers or expats seeking an authentic Swedish lifestyle without being too off-grid, this property is a sound consideration. There’s comfort here, potential for minor tweaks to suit your tastes, a thriving local environment, and superb connectivity, making it ideal for a small family or couple looking to make a home away from home.
I’m always buzzing around helping clients find just the right place to call home, but I urge you to take the time to explore what Kolmilevägen 11 has to offer. Give it a look, and just maybe, it might be the slice of Sweden you've been dreaming of. Interested in seeing it for yourself? Don't hesitate to reach out.
