Classic Period Elements in a Comfortable Two-Bedroom Apartment
This beautiful two-bedroom apartment is located on the ground floor of a turn-of-the-century apartment building in Gothenburg. The house used to be the gatekeeper’s lodgings, and therefore it has its own private entrance, giving the feeling of a townhouse instead of an apartment.
In the apartment, timeless turn-of-the-century charm meets modern elegance. Period features like wooden floors, high skirting boards, classic cast iron elements, beautiful stucco, and a ceiling rose have been preserved. The open-plan layout and modern comforts perfectly blend two periods.
The apartment has an open-plan living space, but thanks to the corner and nooks, there is a dedicated space for lounging, dining, and cooking.
The walls in the living space are painted in Jotun’s “Silke” and paired with an oak parquet floor with high skirting boards and beautiful original stucco work.
The kitchen is built in a typical period style with light gray profiled doors and a Carrara marble countertop and backsplash.
The niche in front of the large, deep window is the perfect spot for a dining table. The large, dark wooden table is surrounded by Hans J. Wegner wishbone chairs, and above the table hangs a Louis Poulsen lamp.
A classic, orange Flos Snoopy lamp stands on the deep windowsill.
The sitting area is comfortable and typically Scandinavian with two gray sofas, built-in cabinets, and a glass Gubi coffee table.
The two bedrooms are located next to each other with a door between them (though they can also both be accessed via the hall).
The smaller room is now a charming children’s room with a wooden bunk bed and the “Ava” wallpaper by Sandberg.
The master bedroom is a large and calm space with two large windows and walls painted in the warm gray shade “Sheer Gray” by Jotun that makes the white-painted stucco stand out beautifully.
The bedroom also features the original wooden floorboards.
The hall connects the rooms in the house with the open-plan living space on one side and the two bedrooms on the other. The walls are painted in Jotun’s “Froströk”, a warm beige hue that gives a welcoming atmosphere to the space.
The apartment was listed for sale at Alvhem.
