Sörmland, Gnesta
With a magnificent location, within commuting distance of Stockholm, this stately villa sits on a large 19,442-square-meter property next to Lake Storsjön. The stucco facade, the hipped metal roof, and the generous lot give this villa, dating from around 1850, a distinct historical character, while the interior has been thoughtfully adapted for comfortable and modern living. Views of the water can be seen from several parts of the property, and the outdoor spaces are positioned to capture the sun from different directions throughout the day.
On the entry level, old-world charm blends with well-chosen materials and color schemes. The custom-built kitchen features a rustic style with white cabinet doors, a Carrara marble countertop, and custom storage in a green hue. Adjacent to the modern stove with an induction cooktop stands a wood-burning stove from the 19th century—a fine example of how the villa’s history has been preserved. The dining room opens directly onto the patio, offering views of the beautiful landscape and the lake. Downstairs, there is also a library, a guest room, and a total of two tiled stoves. The bathroom on the entry level is partially tiled, with a shower and Carrara marble flooring. Beautiful wallpaper, Öland limestone, and wedge-sawn pine floors are a recurring feature throughout, giving the interior a warm and period-appropriate character.
The solid staircase to the upper floor is made of limestone from the year of construction and leads up to four bedrooms and a large living room. Here you’ll find another bathroom featuring a bathtub by the window and custom-made Victorian tiles in a classic pattern, as well as a separate toilet finished in Öland limestone. All rooms have pine floors, some of which are painted white. Most rooms have practical built-in closets, and the upper level features a total of three beautiful tiled stoves and a fireplace. The entire villa is characterized by the many windows that run around the facade, letting in plenty of sunlight and offering lovely views of the forest, fields, and water.
The property offers opportunities for both privacy and socializing. There are several outdoor seating areas and a large, sunny garden with a terrace where the sun lingers from lunchtime until late in the evening. The property also includes a traditional storage building, constructed around 1918. The ground floor can be used for storage or as a party room, complemented by a small storage area for garden equipment and tools. The upper floor offers generous space for a hobby room or home theater. At the rear of the storage building are a chicken coop and a wood shed.
The property also includes a stable/garage and a boat slip with the possibility of a dock through a right of use via an easement. Building rights allow for the construction of an additional garage. An electric car charging station is available. All in all, this is a property where a historic setting, generous spaces, and a scenic location come together to offer a unique character.
