A 1920s Family Home with a Large Garden, One Hour from Stockholm for $549,000

Hidden among rolling fields and sheltering forests, this charming country home from 1927 feels as though it’s taken straight from the pages of an Astrid Lindgren story. A true “Madicken house”, it welcomes you with classic carpentry details, a delightful veranda, and beautifully preserved period features, including tiled stoves and original craftsmanship.

Set on a generous plot filled with fruit trees and lush greenery, the property offers outstanding opportunities for anyone dreaming of a more self-sufficient lifestyle. There is ample space for gardening, small-scale farming, or simply enjoying nature in peace. The land is also easy to divide, making it ideal for generational living or future development.

In addition to the main house, the property includes a newly built chicken coop, a barn with great potential to become a studio, party venue, workshop, or even a small horse stable.

The home itself is thoughtfully laid out: the entrance floor is designed for social life, the upper floor for rest and privacy, and the basement for flexible use. With its own entrance, the basement is perfect for a teenager, a rental apartment, or a home business.

Completing the experience are several outdoor spaces: a detached sauna, a terrace, and multiple patios where you can follow the sun from morning to evening. Here you can host summer dinners at sunset, pick apples in late summer, or enjoy the warmth of a tiled stove on cold winter days.

Practical comfort is also well taken care of. Geothermal heating was installed in 2020, providing an efficient and environmentally friendly heating system.

Despite the peaceful countryside setting, Stockholm is less than an hour away, making this an excellent option for commuters. The local and school bus stops are just a few steps from the front door, and both the E20 highway and Solberga shopping center are within 5 minutes by car.

From the moment you step into the entrance hall, you are greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere with original details and period character. A beautiful staircase leads you up to the upper floor.

The glazed veranda is a natural favorite all year round, a bright, green living space where you can enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, read in peace, or host dinners overlooking the surrounding countryside.

The kitchen is homely and authentic, preserved with a genuine feel. It offers plenty of room for both cooking and gathering, featuring original cabinetry, charming details, and a classic wood-burning stove that reflects the home’s history. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room, bathed in natural light and centered around a stately tiled stove that adds both warmth and character.

The living room invites relaxation and socializing with its generous space, beautiful wooden floors, and yet another tiled stove that creates a cozy atmosphere in every season. The color palette and interior design strike a harmonious balance between historic charm and personal style.

The elegant staircase leads to a bright upstairs living area with fine wallpaper and preserved original features. From here, you access three bedrooms, each with its own distinct character.

The two larger bedrooms easily accommodate double beds and storage. One of them features built-in wardrobes in a classic style, large windows that let in abundant daylight, and a working tiled stove that adds both warmth and a sense of calm.

Overall, the upper floor is defined by charming details, harmonious colors, and generous windows that frame beautiful views of the garden and rural landscape.

The spacious basement can be reached either via the internal staircase or through its own separate entrance. Here you’ll find a practical boiler room and a large laundry room with excellent storage and workspace.

There is also a furnished guest or teenager’s room, making this level highly versatile, ideal for older children, guests, or a private home office. A bathroom is located next door for added comfort.

Thanks to the separate entrance, the basement is particularly well-suited for rental use or running a business from home without disturbing the main living areas.

The house is listed for sale at BOSTHLM.
