Vasastan, Stockholm
At the very top of the building, overlooking the rooftops of Vasastan, lies a magnificent penthouse dating from 1898 with an extraordinary artistic history. Several of Sweden’s most prominent artists have lived and worked here, including Prince Eugen, Carl Wilhelmsson, and Otte Sköld.
The apartment is characterized by an almost unbelievable ceiling height of approximately 3.70 meters—something extremely rare this high up in a turn-of-the-century building. The tall windows, the unobstructed views, and the generous room volumes create a truly unique light and an atmosphere that evokes the apartment’s history as an artist’s studio and painting school. Well-preserved original features—including four beautiful, functioning tiled stoves, stucco work, solid woodwork, and double doors—reinforce the feeling of a home that’s truly out of the ordinary. All this with the vibrant city life of Odengatan on one side and the neighborhood’s tranquil courtyard on the other.
The magnificent living areas—the living room and dining room—run along gatan , while the kitchen, serving hallway, and two bedrooms face the tranquil courtyard. Here you’ll also find the apartment’s large, sunny balcony with breathtaking views of Vasastan’s rooftops, stretching all the way to the tower of St. John’s Church. The apartment combines generous social spaces with private, secluded rooms in a high-ceilinged and secluded location.
The homeowners’ association has exceptionally strong finances, charges no maintenance fees, and features a beautiful, well-maintained courtyard with a park-like atmosphere, as well as a sauna and relaxation area in the building. The association has also sold the attic space (building permit pending final approval) and the adjacent studio, which will be converted into a two-story apartment of approximately 250 square meters. The sale unlocks significant value and substantially strengthens the association’s finances. In connection with this, plans include a spacious turn-of-the-century-style elevator in the street-facing building with room for a double stroller, renovation and upgrading of the stairwells, and security doors in the original style. According to the association’s plan, the association will become debt-free and the housing will remain fee-free, with a capital distribution to the members. Construction is expected to begin in late summer 2027.
The area is characterized by a vibrant community life, featuring one of Stockholm’s best selections of restaurants, wine bars, cafés, and charming neighborhood shops. Every conceivable service is available within a few blocks, and public transportation is excellent, with buses, the subway, and commuter trains. Both Vasaparken and Hagaparken are within walking distance, as is Vanadislunden with its classic outdoor swimming pool from the 1930s. Vasaparken features a soccer field and, in the winter, an ice rink, and there are several schools and preschools in the immediate area. Here, city life, green spaces, and cultural history come together in the best possible way.
A warm welcome to a rare “ apartment ” where the exceptional ceiling height, the magical light, and the fascinating history create a home with a soul all its own.
