Originally a traditional country residence, the main house has been carefully renovated with respect for its history. The result is a warm, inviting home where old-world charm and contemporary upgrades live side by side.
On the entrance level, a bright hallway leads into the kitchen, airy and stylish, with a wood stove as its centerpiece. Just beyond, a generous living room welcomes light from two directions and is anchored by an open fireplace.
Upstairs, the private quarters include a spacious bedroom with a pipe stove and a cozy family room, currently serving as a guest room, with yet another wood stove. (Please note: except for the inspected wood stove in the kitchen, other fireplaces are under burning restrictions pending fire-safety approval.)
Outdoors, the property transforms into a lush oasis. Fruit trees, berry bushes, and flowering plants create a setting as vibrant as it is serene, ideal for morning coffee, leisurely afternoons with a book, or evenings spent with friends and family. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of seasonal harvests, while others may simply enjoy the beauty of the landscape.
The property also includes several outbuildings that extend both its charm and functionality.
- A smaller structure, once a chicken coop, has been cleverly reimagined into a cozy summer sleeping cabin, perfect for overnight guests.
- An additional building houses a shower, sauna, and incineration toilet, bringing extra comfort to country living.
- A traditional barn provides ample storage and space for hobbies or even small-scale projects.
Despite its peaceful seclusion, the property is conveniently close to town. Askersund with its lively waterfront, shops, restaurants, and cultural offerings is just a short drive away. The larger city of Örebro can be reached in around 40 minutes, offering additional amenities and transport links.
