A Romantic Countryside Villa North of Stockholm

In a coastal area north of Stockholm lies this charming yellow villa that was built in the 1930s by stonemason Gustav Karlsson in a ‘national romantic’ style. The villa has only had three owners since its construction, and now it has been put up for sale.

The owners of the charming house have preserved original features like fireplaces, wooden floors, joinery, and windows, adding a nice historical touch to the spaces. The layout has also stayed the same, with a living room, kitchen, and a dining room on the ground floor and two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
