Magnificent turn-of-the-century villa in a prime location

In a beautiful and secluded location in the sought-after neighborhood of Hersby stands this exceptional turn-of-the-century villa from 1910, designed by architect Nils Gustafson—a villa with a distinctive architectural character where the elegance of the Art Nouveau era meets the design language of the emerging National Romantic movement. Here, period-appropriate architecture, exquisite original details, and a comprehensive renovation of the highest caliber come together in a setting where every element has been treated with great respect for the house’s history and character.

The interior is characterized by beautiful proportions, generous ceiling heights, and a lovely flow of light through large, mullioned windows. Preserved stucco work, decorative wall murals, wood-burning fireplaces, and other period-style woodwork create a natural elegance and give the house the atmosphere that only a genuine turn-of-the-century home can offer.

The ground floor serves as the home’s natural social hub, where the parlor and living room offer ample space for both large dinner parties and everyday family life, while the bright and well-equipped kitchen serves as a natural gathering place. The rooms are connected by beautiful sightlines and a harmonious flow, with views of the lush garden.

The upper living level constitutes the home’s private and more secluded area and accommodates four well-proportioned bedrooms, all featuring the bright and harmonious character that defines the villa as a whole. Three of the bedrooms have direct access to a balcony; this level also features two bathrooms and access to a larger balcony—a lovely and private spot overlooking the lush property. At the very top is a thoughtfully furnished attic with exposed rafters, a wood-burning stove, and its own shower—a flexible and inviting space that could serve as a bedroom, guest room, home office, or a more secluded living area. The basement level features additional well-thought-out amenities, including a laundry room, a sauna, and an atmospheric wine cellar.

The outdoor environment is also of an exceptionally high standard. The large, secluded corner lot is framed by mature greenery and well-maintained plantings, offering several natural spots for socializing and relaxation. Here you’ll find a small pool with an adjoining furnished pool house, as well as spacious patios that create a private, park-like setting during the warmer months. A comprehensive sprinkler irrigation system helps maintain an easy-to-care-for and thriving garden. Highly energy-efficient geothermal heating provides the house with a modern heating solution.

There are unused building rights remaining, and the opportunity exists to further develop the villa in the same elegant, period-appropriate style for those who wish to do so.

This property offers a home beyond the ordinary—a villa where the architectural qualities of the turn of the century have been preserved and refined with great sensitivity. The combination of the stately interiors, the extensive renovation, the generous floor space, and the lavish garden setting creates a rare, complete property in one of Lidingö’s most attractive residential neighborhoods.
