Riddarvägen 2B - Hersby, Lidingö
Located in one of Hersby’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods on Lidingö, this spacious family home was built in the late-1940s in the late-functionalist style typical of the era, designed by the city architect of the time, Einar Rudskog. The architecture is characterized by elegant proportions, large windows, and abundant natural light from all directions, creating a bright and airy atmosphere throughout the home. Here, period-typical details and solid materials come together in a harmonious whole. Herringbone parquet flooring, deep window niches, wide window sills, a fireplace, and a stylish staircase between the floors reinforce the classic functionalist character.
The entry level welcomes you with a foyer and an adjacent guest bathroom. Beyond that, spacious living areas open up, where the living room with a fireplace serves as the home’s natural gathering place. The large windows let light flood through the rooms and create a lovely connection to the garden. Adjacent is the kitchen with a convenient kitchen entrance. The garden is mature and framed by rosebushes, cherry trees, and blooming wild roses. There are several sunny patios here, as well as an elegantly situated glasshouse that extends the outdoor season and offers a cozy setting for dinners and social gatherings.
On the upper level, there are four spacious bedrooms with beautiful light from various directions. There is also a family room with access to a generous balcony, as well as a half-bath and a bathroom with a shower. The floor plan is well-thought-out with ample storage options in closets and a walk-in closet.
The basement level features a large garage and several functional spaces such as a hobby room, TV room, laundry area, small gym, sauna, and a half-bath. There is also potential to develop additional living space or create a separate rental unit.
The lot is flat and child-friendly, offering extra comfort with the beautifully furnished conservatory. The unfurnished attic also creates additional potential for those who wish to expand their living space over time.
The location in Hersby is particularly appreciated for its combination of quiet residential neighborhoods and proximity to services, schools, and sports facilities. Tennis courts, soccer fields, and waterfront walking paths are within easy reach, while transportation links to Stockholm are excellent.
A well-planned late-functionalist villa with plenty of light, a beautiful garden, and great potential for renovation—in one of Lidingö’s most established and family-friendly neighborhoods. Welcome to viewing scheduled viewing.

Hersby forms the heart of the historic Lidingö villa town – an internationally influenced villa town concept from the early 1900s, created as a healthy and nature-oriented counterpoint to the dense urban environments of industrialism. Here, bourgeois ideals of light, air, and family life come together in one of the Stockholm region's best-preserved cultural environments.
The area is characterized by small-scale roads adapted to the terrain, with an almost rural character, large generous plots, and detached houses with spacious intervals between them. The irregular urban plan creates a soft and organic structure where nature is allowed to take its place.
The architecture is consistently high class. Individually designed turn-of-the-century villas in Art Nouveau and National Romantic styles coexist with later additions – many in well-preserved and authentic condition. Large natural and garden plots with oak trees, pines, fruit trees, and hedges contribute to the area's lush and prestigious character.
Today, Hersby is recognized as a culturally and historically valuable environment and is considered one of Lidingö's most sought-after and architecturally cohesive residential areas—where history, quality, and quality of life come together in an unusually harmonious whole.
