A Traditional Country House near Oslo Lists for $639,000

Nestled in an idyllic, rural setting, this attractive detached house from 2014 offers a rare combination of modern comfort, generous outdoor spaces, and immediate access to nature. Set on a sunny plot of just over two acres, the property enjoys a beautifully elevated position with scenic surroundings, where long summer days can be spent undisturbed on several private patios and terraces.

Despite its tranquil location, the home is conveniently situated with short distances to public transport connections to Ski and Oslo, making everyday commuting easy. The property lies in the charming village of Siggerud, part of Nordre Follo, a small, close-knit community known for its peaceful atmosphere and proximity to forests and lakes.

Inside, the home feels warm and welcoming, with a well-planned layout that supports both everyday living and relaxation. The living room is cozy and bright, featuring large windows that draw in natural light and frame the surrounding greenery, as well as a wood-burning stove that adds warmth and character.

The kitchen is both stylish and well-equipped, ideal for family meals and entertaining. On the upper level, a charming loft room opens onto its own covered balcony, an ideal retreat with scenic views and a sense of privacy.

The house further offers two comfortable bedrooms with wardrobes, a bathroom with a bathtub, a practical entrance hall, and a separate laundry/technical room. Additional storage is available in an outdoor shed by the workshop in the garage. Parking is available in both the garage and the spacious gravel courtyard.

The outdoor areas are a true highlight of the property. From the living room, there is access to a partially covered south-facing terrace of approximately 15 m², complete with wooden decking, dark-stained railings, a wide awning, outdoor sockets, and atmospheric lighting, perfect for barbecues and summer gatherings.

Beneath the balcony, a second terrace of around 5 m² is accessed directly from the kitchen, while the balcony itself, also approximately 5 m², is covered and enjoys open views of the surrounding landscape. In addition, a sheltered, built-in patio with plexiglass roofing, sliding doors, and large windows has been created by the courtyard, offering a comfortable outdoor space regardless of the weather.

The landscaped plot combines natural terrain with well-kept lawns, ornamental shrubs, hedges, and gravel areas. Elements of traditional fencing enhance the property’s classic Norwegian character and frame parts of the garden beautifully.

The home is located in a quiet, child-friendly residential area, just a short walk from Langenvannet, where you’ll find excellent swimming and fishing opportunities. In winter, the lake transforms into a natural ice rink, creating a picture-perfect setting.

Siggerud is surrounded by forest and untouched nature, with countless hiking trails, forest paths, and lakes nearby. A bike ride will take you to Bråtetjern, a popular swimming spot featuring a diving tower and a traditional gapahuk shelter. The area is ideal for hiking, camping, and outdoor family activities, with child-friendly paths along the water’s edge.

The house is listed for sale at PrivatMegleren.
