A Light and Spacious Apartment with a Cozy Social Kitchen

In one of the most beautiful turn-of-the-century houses from 1903 in Gothenburg lies this spacious and light-filled apartment with a social kitchen space. The 87-square-meter apartment has only one bedroom, which means that all the rooms are wonderfully spacious.

The turn-of-the-century charm is well preserved in the form of beautiful joinery, mirrored doors, high skirting boards, two tiled stoves, original wooden floors, and fine window niches. The ceiling is also generous, at 3.3 meters, with stucco and ceiling rosettes. 

The living room is a charming and light space thanks to the three opening windows with an overhead window. The room features original elements like well-preserved wooden floorboards, a working fireplace, and stucco.

Like many historic apartments in Sweden, the master bedroom is located next to the living room, connected with pretty double wooden doors.

The master bedroom is spacious and wonderfully bright thanks to large windows and glass doors leading to the balcony.

The walls are painted in a light gray shade, making the period features stand out beautifully.

As the room is so big, there is plenty of room for a home office. A beautiful midcentury desk stands by the balcony door and is paired with simple wooden shelves.

The fireplace is not in use, so the owners turned it into a creative plant stand.

One corner is fitted with wardrobes, hidden by light, sheer curtains.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. It is a grand room (especially for an apartment) with a dedicated cooking area and space for a large dining table. The kitchen island with bar seating adds another social element to the space.

The kitchen has a classic design, which suits the apartment’s building style very well. Classic white cabinets are paired with brass handles and knobs, a butler sink, glass-fronted upper cabinets, and a classic black and white checkerboard floor. You can’t go wrong with pairing such classic elements.

There is also a small pantry off the kitchen for even more storage space.

A wonderful dining area is created on the other side, with a large dining table surrounded by a mixture of chairs. The light pink walls make the original joinery and stucco stand out beautifully.

The bathroom is simple but stylish, with white wall tiles and Moroccan-style floor tiles.

The hallway connects all the rooms in the apartment. Classic black and white tiles line the floor and three walls are decorated with tongue-and-groove paneling.

The apartment is listed for sale at Alvhem.
