A Beautiful, Renovated 1930s Villa on Gotland
Tucked into the quiet charm of Ljugarn and just a short walk from the beach on the Swedish island of Gotland, this striking 1930s villa unfolds across four beautifully appointed floors.
Built in 1936, the home has been thoughtfully and comprehensively renovated in 2024, blending its original character with carefully chosen modern comforts.
Classic colors, exclusive materials, and preserved period details create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and refined, while every corner of the house reflects a meticulous eye for craftsmanship and design.
Custom-built furniture and fixed carpentry throughout the house were crafted by local carpenters in Visby, lending the interiors a bespoke character that connects the home to the island’s strong tradition of skilled craftsmanship.
Set on a large, flat plot in one of Ljugarn’s most attractive locations, the property feels both private and welcoming. The main villa is complemented by several renovated outbuildings that extend the lifestyle offered here.
These include guest accommodations and spaces dedicated to wellness and activity, such as a sauna and a fully equipped gym, creating a small retreat-like setting within the grounds.
Stepping inside on the entrance floor, the kitchen immediately reveals itself as the heart of the house. Generous in scale and designed for gathering, it features an open layout with a large dining area, where fixed benches seat many guests comfortably together.
Throughout the home, the kitchen and technical fittings reflect the same commitment to quality found in the architectural details.
The kitchen is equipped with a professional-grade Ilve stove and induction oven from the renowned Italian manufacturer, complemented by Miele refrigerator and freezer units.
Additional refrigeration and freezer space are available in the basement, along with a professional restaurant-quality ice machine.
The kitchen’s elegant cabinetry provides abundant storage with drawers and cupboards crafted with care, while a newly installed wood-burning stove adds warmth and character.
Tucked beneath the staircase that leads upstairs is a practical pantry area with space for a washing machine.
The dining area is lit by two red striped pendants from Pop and Scott.
Beyond the kitchen, two large rooms sit in sequence, creating an inviting flow for socializing, entertaining, or simply relaxing. These interconnected spaces feel bright and airy, offering flexibility for living and dining while maintaining the villa’s gracious sense of proportion.
Upstairs, the upper floor opens into a central hall, featuring a charming window seat with book storage, which leads to four generous bedrooms.
The stylish bathrooms feature Japanese shower toilets on both the middle and upper floors, combining innovation with everyday comfort. The bathroom on the upper floor features a charming checkered floor and a bath facing the windows.
Beyond the main house, the property continues to impress with amenities designed for relaxation and wellbeing. A jacuzzi designed to operate even at temperatures down to –30°C invites year-round outdoor bathing, while a sauna and an outdoor shower enhance the spa-like atmosphere.
The gym is fitted with professional equipment from Eleiko, creating a serious training space within the tranquil surroundings of the garden.
The house is listed for sale at Skeppsholmen.
