A large modern Scandinavian style house (210m2 main house) that also includes two cabins in the forest that form part of the large garden of 2500m2 (one cabin 25m2 and the other cabin 15m2).
The main house was newly built in 2014, is made up of large open spaces and furnished to a high standard with modern design pieces from Scandinavia and Paris.The house includes all modern amenities, a large open plan kitchen and bar area that leads into the dining area with a large dining table that seats 10, two living rooms (one with a large 55 inch flat screen tv with cable channels), a toilet and large bathroom including shower and bath tub and a double bedroom that is currently also set out as a toy room. The downstairs of the house includes one double bedroom with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the forest and terrace, one double bedroom with bunk beds and also one single bedroom on this floor, a large family bathroom including sauna, shower, bath tub and toilet, a large laundry room (including washing machine and separate dryer) and a separate large storage room that also includes a gym area with a running machine.
The house has large floor to ceiling windows in most rooms that look out onto the forest that is situated right by the house and also makes up part of the garden. The remaining garden right by the house has been landscaped by well known Swedish landscape architects Zetas, and contains both fruit and conifer trees and a large grassy space that is good for children to play. The house has large wooden terraces adjacent to both the upper and lower parts of the house with seating spaces suitable for eating, sun bathing, relaxing for drinks or just chatting on the two large outdoor sofas and arm chairs situated facing the forest. There is a sandbox for toddlers to play. We also have a large outdoor grill (Landmann smoker, Tennessee 300).
Both cabins located in the garden, newly built in 2017, are furnished to a high standard in modern Scandinavian style and both have bathrooms with showers, most of the cabin walls are glass looking out onto the forest offering private views of the forest and a true Scandinavian experience right outside Stockholm City.
Given the house is adjacent to a nature reserve, it is very peaceful and serene and gives a true sense of being in Sweden. The house is situated 5 minutes from a popular swimming lake (you just walk through the forest to get to the pier to jump in, or otherwise there is a beach on the other side of the lake a 15 minute walk or 5 minute drive away). The house is also close to the sea and the closest beach is 5-10 minutes walk away also. The adjacent forest has many walking, running and biking trails (one wider one suitable for prams that is approx. 4 km long) and two little lakes that are pleasant to picnic by. The trails are lit in winter and cross country tracks are made when there is enough snow.
It takes 15 minutes to drive into the centre of Stockholm and there are also boats taking you into town from a harbor approx. 10 minute drive away.
The fact that the house is so close to the town centre of Stockholm means that it is perfect to get the best of both rustic wooded Sweden with a real sense of Scandinavia, whilst being just moments away from the culture and city life that Stockholm has to offer.
This is a family house and neighborhood and therefore not suitable for parties.
