A Renovated 1920s Home with Fine Interiors in South Sweden – $194,000

Stepping across the threshold of this extraordinary home feels like walking straight into a living artwork, one that might just as well have been signed by Carl Larsson himself.

This is a residence where craftsmanship, color, and atmosphere come together in perfect harmony, offering a truly unique place to call home.

Set on a 1,280 m² garden plot with a cozy courtyard atmosphere, this 1.5-storey villa has been lovingly transformed in recent years into a pure turn-of-the-century dream. Joyful carpentry defines both the interior and exterior, from the renewed façade to the green-painted, double-glazed entrance door and beautifully barred windows.

The property also includes a small greenhouse or orangery, as well as an outbuilding with a garage and generous storage space.

Here, you live in a quiet and safe neighborhood, surrounded by nature yet conveniently connected. Scenic cycling paths lead to schools and the city center, while pleasant walking trails follow the Nissan river, winding through the town just a few hundred meters from the house.

The heart of the house is a bespoke kitchen that immediately enchants. A custom-built interior with a large serving cabinet featuring softly arched corners showcases genuine solid-wood craftsmanship.

Pearl-toned beadboard panels, white beveled tiles, classic Swedish paper wallpaper, and a checkered wooden floor create a warm, nostalgic setting, much of it finished in traditional linseed oil paint.

Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated: fridge, freezer, and dishwasher blend discreetly into the cabinetry, while a brand-new induction hob with double ovens from Stoves and a fan from Lofra add a striking British-inspired contrast to the earthy, timeless palette.

Ample storage is complemented by a generous pantry. From here, the home unfolds naturally into the rest of the living spaces.

An ornate infill detail leads from the kitchen into the dining room, where attention is instantly drawn to the freshly sanded herringbone parquet floor. High skirting boards and elegant ceiling moldings frame walls painted in a warm, rusty red, beautifully echoing the hues in the kitchen wallpaper.

Through stately double French doors lies the living room, dressed in the iconic Pimpernel Bayleaf / Manila wallpaper by Morris & Co. The room’s crowning feature is a magnificent bay window, offering tranquil views of the surrounding forest and flooding the space with natural light.

Upstairs spaces continue the home’s careful balance of charm and function. The laundry room and toilet feature a rust-red mosaic floor, beadboard panels, and classic Swedish wallpapers.

The largest bedroom accommodates a double bed and is flanked by mirrored doors leading to a nursery and a storage room. Both rooms feature white-painted wooden floors and light, patterned wallpaper that enhances the airy feel.

Another bedroom showcases a brown-stained wooden floor, complemented by built-in green-painted bedside tables with brown-lacquered tops. These extend into a custom shelving system that blends effortlessly into the green walls. The final bedroom offers a softer green tone on the walls, white-painted wooden floors, and elegant high skirting boards.

The house is listed for sale at Mäklarteamet.
