Villa with excellent rental potential

Located in the most attractive part of Svalnäs in Djursholm, in an elevated and secluded setting with beautiful lake views, stands this prestigious villa featuring a unique courtyard design. The property comprises a spacious main house and a detached residence—the original gardener’s house designed by Ferdinand Boberg—thereby offering exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, guests, business use, or rental. In addition, there is another fully equipped living area on the basement level of the main house.

The large lot provides a private and tranquil setting where classic architecture harmonizes with mature greenery and beautiful views of the water. Here, timeless elegance and thoughtful material choices come together in a home reminiscent of turn-of-the-century manor houses, while the floor plan is designed for modern, social family life.

The main building, measuring approximately 280 + 140 square meters, features a classic exterior with a gray wooden facade, mullioned windows, and well-preserved architectural details. Inside, you are greeted by spacious living areas, high ceilings, beautiful mirrored doors, strip parquet flooring, brick fireplaces, and large windows that fill the house with abundant natural light and create a natural connection to the garden and lake views.

The entry level welcomes you with a grand foyer featuring impressive ceiling height and an open feel. Here you’ll find an elegant living room with a bay window and a fireplace, an atmospheric library with built-in bookshelves, and another fireplace. The spacious kitchen boasts a modern design with a large kitchen island and an exclusive gas stove that naturally serves as a gathering spot. Adjacent to it is the glass-enclosed veranda, which serves as a year-round dining area and opens directly onto two balconies overlooking the surrounding greenery and water. The entry level also features a study or bedroom, a guest room, a laundry room, and a bathroom.

The upper floor comprises the private living area of the home, with three spacious bedrooms and a centrally located family room. The master bedroom features a generous bathroom with dual showers, dual sinks, and a sauna, while another stylish bathroom serves the other bedrooms. Throughout, the floor is characterized by high-quality materials and generous storage solutions.

The basement level has its own entrance and is fully equipped as a separate residence, creating excellent opportunities for teenage children, guests, an au pair, or rental. It features a family room, bedroom, bathroom, wine cellar, boiler room, and garage, as well as direct access to a sheltered patio.

The detached house—the former gardener’s residence designed by Ferdinand Boberg, measuring approximately 72 + 28 square meters—is a highly valued addition. The residence features a kitchen and living room on the ground floor, two bedrooms on the upper floor, and a laundry room and storage room in the basement. A large terrace along the rear of the house creates a cozy outdoor setting with afternoon and evening sun.

The mature garden is carefully landscaped with natural terrain, rock gardens, and several sunny patios facing different directions. Here you’ll find a beautiful gravel terrace with lake views, a flagpole, and several private outdoor areas that enhance the feeling of an exclusive courtyard setting.

This is a property that rarely comes on the market—a prestigious and architecturally appealing home with two detached residences, generous living spaces, and an outstanding combination of history, functionality, and quality of life. Its location in Svalnäs, close to the water, nature, and Djursholm’s finest amenities, makes this a truly top-tier residence.
