12 Äppelbovägen - Bromma
A private, secluded, functionalist family villa from 1940 with a total area of 317 square meters, the last house on a cul-de-sac, offering magnificent panoramic views of Lake Mälaren and the Kärsön Nature Reserve. Located in Höglandet, this villa has never before been on the market and has been very well maintained over the years, preserving classic original details in the functionalist style and featuring fine materials of a high modern standard. The view from the villa is unbeatable, whether from the garden, the terrace, or any of the balconies. The architecture is characterized by large windows that create bright interiors and a harmonious connection to the surrounding garden. The property is situated at the highest point in Höglandet, with a nature-protected hill below and in front of it, which conceals the buildings along Grönviksvägen. Generous living areas feature a living room and dining room in a row, with a large, modern Siematic kitchen directly adjacent. Two fireplaces—one of which is in the kitchen—provide cozy ambiance on dark winter evenings. The pleasant dining room opens onto a sheltered loggia, and the kitchen opens onto the tranquil breakfast nook, which is bathed in sunlight from early morning. The villa has three floors, as well as a finished basement with ample storage and a laundry room. There is a spacious library with a fireplace and four potential bedrooms on the upper floor. The finished attic level features the master bedroom with an adjoining walk-in closet, a bathroom, and access to a small terrace. All floors feature bathrooms with built-in storage in oak and tasteful limestone. A spacious garage is accessible from the basement level. The carefully tended and mature villa garden offers several seating areas and is both private and secluded, with vegetation that flourishes beautifully throughout the seasons. The entire lot is private and shielded from view, with an unobstructed, elevated location and no neighbors directly in front. The beautiful garden changes with the seasons, showcasing its lush greenery. A highly sought-after home at an attractive address in the popular Höglandet neighborhood of Bromma.

Höglandet is a neighborhood in Bromma in Västerort and is part of the Bromma Garden City. Höglandet is the name of the area between Ålsten and Nockeby. The original area was developed in the 1880s, when people traveled here by steamboat to Grönvik’s pier. At that time, the area was called Grönvik, hence the name of the long coastal road that runs along the water, Grönviksvägen. Today’s buildings were constructed mainly in the 1920s and 1930s. Development of the Ålsten area began in 1923, the Höglandet area in 1926, and Nockeby in 1930. The area became a neighborhood in 1932, and its name was coined after Höglandstorget, which had been named in 1925 based on the topography of the area. Today, Höglandet is one of Bromma’s most attractive neighborhoods thanks to the size and architecture of its buildings, as well as its central yet peaceful location in Bromma.
A very attractive, architect-designed, mature villa garden offering privacy, with a south-southwest-facing front yard featuring carefully selected flowers, shrubs, and trees. All shrubs and plants are child-friendly, including various varieties of currants, elderberry, gooseberries, apples (Ingrid Marie), rose hips, and cherry trees along the entire kitchen side. Shrubs include thuja, juniper, jasmine, and lilac. The trees consist of cherry trees, bird cherry, crabapple, and apple trees. Outside the kitchen, behind a rocky outcrop, there are oak and maple trees. Lawns cover most of the area.
The house is situated in the center of the lot, providing a good play area at the back of the house.
In addition to the loggia dining area, there is another large dining area above the garage, as well as an additional patio against the side of the house. The patios and the walkway with stairs are paved with Öland limestone slabs. There are views of Lake Mälaren and the surrounding nature from everywhere, and all patios offer expansive lake views. Since the house is situated at the very top of the hill, it enjoys sunlight all day long and for longer periods than houses located lower down.
There are three terraces facing south/southwest. On the middle floor, there is a balcony outside the library and a larger terrace outside the master bedroom that spans the roof of the loggia. The attic floor has a large, private terrace outside the bedroom. All offer sweeping views of Lake Mälaren and the natural areas on Kärsön and Lovön.
