A 2,626 sq ft Country House in East Central Sweden for $213,000

Tucked away in the tranquil surroundings of Mörtebo, this charming 1909 villa offers a rare blend of historic character and modern comfort. Set on a generous 3,002-square-meter plot, the property offers both space and serenity, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle close to nature.

The home spans 244 square meters of living space and features six rooms, including four to five spacious bedrooms. Inside, you are welcomed by a warm, inviting atmosphere, where carefully selected finishes create a harmonious balance between rustic charm and contemporary living.

Wooden floors, classic tiled stoves, and tasteful wallpaper lend the home its timeless character, while modern updates ensure everyday comfort.

Significant upgrades have been carried out to enhance both comfort and efficiency. A brand-new geothermal heating system, installed in December 2023, along with new radiators and completely updated plumbing, ensures energy-efficient, cost-effective heating throughout the year. Earlier improvements include a roof replacement in 2013 and a bathroom renovation around 2016.

The outdoor environment is just as appealing. The southeast-facing garden is easy to maintain and enjoys abundant sunlight throughout the day. It features a variety of flowers and fruit trees, creating a lush and vibrant setting. A large vaulted cellar dating back to 1901 adds both character and practical storage space.

Complementing the main house is a versatile outbuilding that expands the property’s possibilities. It includes a workshop, carpentry space, storage areas, and a carport.

The insulated workshop area, approximately 23.5 square meters, is fully equipped with water and electricity, wet-room flooring, a floor drain, and a sauna, shower, and toilet. Previously used as a spa area, it offers exciting potential for customization to suit your needs and ideas.

The location completes the picture. Surrounded by peaceful nature, the property offers excellent opportunities for outdoor activities and relaxation, with a nearby swimming area just a short distance away.

A school bus stop is conveniently located close to the property, while central Ockelbo can be reached in under 15 minutes by car. The city of Gävle is only 45 minutes away, providing access to a wider range of services and amenities.

At the heart of the house lies a homely and well-proportioned kitchen, designed for both cooking and social gatherings. Adjacent living and family rooms provide ample space for relaxation and entertaining, making it easy to gather with family and friends.

The property also offers two bathrooms, one conveniently located on the entrance floor, finished with elegant marble tiles, and a newly renovated bathroom upstairs, completed in 2023.

The house is listed for sale at Fastighetsbyran.
