This wooden house, built in 1923, sits on the edge of Stockholm’s Stureby district. Development here only began in the early 1920s, so this home was one of the very first on the street.
Spanning 170 m² (1,830 sq ft), the two-story house features seven rooms and a spacious basement housing laundry and storage areas.
Originally designed as a duplex, the home had separate entrances for each family. The attic—accessible via a back entrance from the kitchen—was rented out, and early residents relied on wood-burning stoves for heat.
A major plus today is that Slussen metro station is just 2,130 ft (650 m) away, making the long, slow bus rides to the city center a thing of the past.
Modernized in the 1960s, the house gained a full bathroom and an open terrace, though its second entrance was removed at that time.
The current owners, here since 2008, carried out a renovation in 2013 but made a point of preserving original details—especially the 1920s kitchen cabinet doors, which they still proudly use.
A restored wall-mounted cabinet from previous owners now stores dishes, while a 1960s buffet remains in the kitchen, passed down through generations.
On the kitchen floor corner stands a buffet that’s been in the house since the 1960s, passed down through generations of tenants.
The pantry, a nod to the 1920s, once held preserves and supplies. Today it houses canned goods, BBQ gear, and seldom-used appliances.
The turquoise kitchen walls add a fresh, cozy feel without being overwhelming.
In the adjacent living room, a different mood takes hold. Two large windows flood the space with sunshine, and art and furnishings warm up the white walls.
Waxed wood floors and a rug underfoot complete the homey vibe.
Though the radiators handle most heating, the original stoves and fireplaces still stand—for looks and the occasional fire on cold nights.
No curtains are needed—the windows are beautifully framed with fairy lights. A vintage bookcase holds a small library, elegant yet understated.
The bathroom remodel in 2017 introduced a window and underfloor heating.
Subtle details catch the eye: brass faucets and towel bars, dog figurines, and a palm-shaped candleholder—charming without being flashy.
The toilet seat matches the floor, the brass faucet ties in, and inset shelves keep your toiletries handy.
A staircase leads upstairs, where the landing has become a cozy lounge with heated floors.
A little nook serves as a workspace, drenched in daylight by day and lit by a floor lamp at night.
Behind a sunny yellow door (seen in earlier photos) hides a second WC.
The master bedroom is simple yet atmospheric: a yellow throw, decorative lanterns at the window, a wall-hung garland, and mint green radiators.
All three upstairs bedrooms boast built-in closets.
In one children’s room, a stool stands in for a nightstand, and a built-in wardrobe hides behind the headboard.
The basement utility room houses washer, dryer, and ironing board—keeping bulky appliances out of the bathroom.
Inside, the front doors are painted bright yellow to match the wood floors.
All coats and outerwear stay neatly hung in the entryway cupboard.
That little corner—mixing patterns and hues—somehow feels perfectly harmonious and warm.
Outside, an open terrace invites summer barbecues and family meals.
Restored windows with green frames complement the soft yellow façade.
After 15 years here, the family is moving to central Stockholm. The house is now on the market, and the owners’ only wish is that its original details and furniture—especially those vintage kitchen doors—be lovingly preserved.
