Heimdalsvägen 17 A & B - Svalnäs, Djursholm
Situated in an elevated and private location in the sought-after neighborhood of Svalnäs, this exceptional property offers a beautiful view of the lake, generous living spaces, and a setting that feels almost like its own private estate. The large 2,226 m² lot accommodates two residential buildings—a stately main house with 345 m² of living space and the original gardener’s residence, designed by Ferdinand Boberg, with an additional 89 m² of living space. Together, the buildings offer a total of 434 m² of living space and 84 m² of auxiliary space.
This is a property with a character that is difficult to replicate: the main building’s generous proportions, the detached Boberg house, the mature garden, and the views of the water all combine to create the feeling of a private and cohesive environment in the heart of one of Djursholm’s most attractive areas.
The main house is a spacious family home with 345 m² of living space and 55 m² of ancillary space, spread over three levels. The ground floor covers 165 m², the upper level 121 m², and the basement level an additional 59 m² of living space as well as 55 m² of ancillary space.
The house is characterized by classic architecture with a gray wooden facade and mullioned windows. Inside, you’ll find spacious living areas, high ceilings, mirrored doors, strip parquet flooring, fireplaces, and large windows that allow plenty of natural light and connect the home with the surrounding greenery.
The ground floor is designed for both family life and entertaining. Here you’ll find a living room with a bay window and a fireplace, a library with built-in bookshelves and another fireplace, as well as a spacious kitchen with a large kitchen island and a gas stove. The glass-enclosed veranda serves as a year-round dining area and connects to two balconies overlooking the garden and the water.
The upper level houses the home’s more private area, featuring three spacious bedrooms and a central family room. The master bedroom has a spacious bathroom with dual showers, dual sinks, and a sauna. An additional bathroom serves the other bedrooms.
The basement level has its own entrance and offers a separate, fully equipped living area with a family room, bedroom, and bathroom. It also features a wine cellar, boiler room, and garage. This gives the house exceptional flexibility—whether for teenage children, guests, an au pair, multigenerational living, a home office, or, for those who wish, rental income.
The detached house is perhaps the property’s most distinctive feature. The original gardener’s residence, designed by Ferdinand Boberg, comprises 89 m² of living space and 29 m² of ancillary space, distributed as follows: 50 m² on the ground floor, 39 m² on the upper floor, and 29 m² of ancillary space in the basement.
The ground floor features a modern kitchen and living room, the upper floor has a bedroom, and the basement level offers additional utility spaces. The large terrace running along the side of the house creates an additional private outdoor space and makes the building a fully-fledged second residence within the property.
The 2,226 m² lot is mature and private, featuring natural areas, rock, greenery, and several outdoor seating areas facing different directions. The elevated location offers beautiful views and enhances the sense of seclusion, while water, nature, and Djursholm’s amenities are all within easy reach.
This is not just a large villa. It is a cohesive property with two residential buildings, history, lake views, and a level of flexibility that is unusual even for Djursholm. A home for a large family today, with the potential to evolve alongside the family’s needs over time.
There are two houses on the property; the smaller one was built in 1911 and the larger one in 1990. The houses have been renovated in stages: the smaller one in 2018 and 2020, and the larger one in 2016 and 2025.
