A Timber Home with River Views in North Sweden – $97,600

Perched in a high, scenic position overlooking the river, this charming and thoughtfully renovated villa offers a rare opportunity to live close to nature without compromising on comfort. With efficient geothermal heating, a cozy soapstone stove, and a modern wood-burning system, the home combines timeless character with practical, energy-smart living.

The villa has been extended and rebuilt in stages, resulting in a well-planned home with four rooms and a spacious country kitchen, plus the potential to create additional bedrooms if desired. Genuine materials and carefully chosen finishes give the house a welcoming, authentic feel throughout.

Stepping inside, you’re greeted by a hallway with exposed timber walls that immediately set the tone for the home’s rustic charm. Laminate flooring and practical storage sit alongside the geothermal heat pump, installed in 2002 and discreetly located beneath the staircase.

From the hall, you enter the heart of the home: a large, bright country kitchen. Natural light pours in from three directions, while a new glazed patio door frames beautiful river views and opens onto the generous rear terrace.

There’s ample space for a large dining table, and a built-in bench with wood storage adds both character and functionality. The renovated kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge/freezer, a stove with a hob, and a dishwasher, making it as practical as it is inviting. The soapstone stove not only enhances the atmosphere but also provides excellent supplemental heating.

The centrally located living room on the ground floor is adjacent to the kitchen. With windows on two sides, light walls, and matching plank floors, this room feels airy and flexible. The former bathroom next door is currently used as storage, allowing the living room to be expanded further.

Upstairs, a beautiful wooden staircase leads to a landing with generous wardrobe storage. The upper floor features two spacious bedrooms with attractive flooring throughout. One bedroom is particularly large and was previously divided into two, making it easy to adapt for different needs.

The property sits on a large garden plot of 2,764 m², with most of the land spread out in front of the house, ideal for gardening and outdoor activities. At the rear, a newly built, expansive terrace, accessible from both the kitchen and the ground-floor bedroom, offers sun for most of the day and uninterrupted river views.

Just below the house, you’ll find access to a barbecue area as well as spots for swimming and fishing, making this a perfect home for those who appreciate outdoor living, water, and nature right at their doorstep.

The house is listed for sale at Greta Sävenstedt.
