Original Charm in a Light Green Swedish Country House
On an elevated position in a charming neighborhood in Gothenburg stands a former summer residence that is now turned into a beautiful villa with stylish rooms and a lovely garden.
The light green wooden villa was built at the beginning of the 20th century and still features original details like stucco, ceiling rosettes, beautiful mirror doors, pearl plaster panels, and preserved wooden floors.
The turn-of-the-century country house is now decorated in typical Scandinavian style with a muted color palette, Scandinavian design classics, and an inviting atmosphere.
The ground floor has an open layout where the living room, dining room, and kitchen are situated in a social floorplan but where the rooms still feel cozy.
The living room, with windows on two sides, is a calm room with warm beige walls, a large jute rug, and a fireplace in the corner.
The beautiful stucco and the tiled fireplace show the history of the building. The owners created a unique cabinet with old glass wooden doors and reclaimed timber.
Next to the living room lies the grand dining room, which can be closed off with a pair of wooden doors to create a cozy and intimate atmosphere.
A large wooden table, seating eight, stands in the center of the room surrounded by classic Danish wishbone chairs.
The kitchen is designed in a classic style with gray cabinets and paneled walls.
The veranda/entry has colored glass, which you often see in historic Swedish houses. The wooden floor is painted in a white and green checkerboard pattern.
On the first floor are four bedrooms and an extra space that is now used as the television room.
The master bedroom is decorated in warm earth tones and features its own walk in closet.
A second bedroom is decorated with the ‘Ava Dark Blue’ wallpaper from Sandberg.
The hallway is decorated with the ‘Willow’ wallpaper from William Morris.
The house is listed for sale at Bjurfors Västra Göteborg
