Villa Skeppargården

Set on a lush, secluded corner lot in the sought-after neighborhood of Hersby stands this beautiful turn-of-the-century villa featuring a classic National Romantic architectural style. Villa Skeppargården was built in 1906 and was the first house completed in the villa community. Total area of 232 square meters. Here, beautiful original details and stately living spaces are combined with a comprehensive, lavish renovation, carried out with great respect for the house’s history and character.

The interior is characterized by well-balanced proportions, generous ceiling heights, and a pleasant flow of light through large, mullioned windows. Preserved stucco work, decorative built-in bookshelves, and period-style woodwork provide the rooms with a personal and refined setting, while the fireplace enhances the cozy atmosphere.

The ground floor is designed for entertaining, with spacious living areas that accommodate both large dinner parties and everyday family life. The bright, custom-built kitchen serves as a natural gathering place and blends beautifully with the living areas. Beautiful sightlines tie the interior together, with the lush greenery of the mature garden serving as a backdrop. A wonderful conservatory with beautiful mullioned windows. A solid fireplace creates a cozy atmosphere.

On the upper living level, there are three well-laid-out bedrooms in a peaceful and secluded setting. Here, too, the light color palette and the house’s period-appropriate character are evident. There are two bathrooms, one of which features exclusive marble. The basement offers ample storage space, and geothermal heating contributes to energy-efficient heating.

The large corner lot is surrounded by mature greenery, creating a sheltered and private garden setting. Here, you’ll find several natural spots for relaxation and socializing, with plenty of space to enjoy the changing light of the day and the shifting seasons.

The villa is located in the culturally and historically significant Holmia neighborhood, which was established in 1906 by the then-newly founded AB Lidingö Villastad. The area has preserved a rare, authentic environment from the early 20th century, featuring villas in the National Romantic, Art Nouveau, and Art Nouveau Baroque styles, many of which retain their original exteriors. The house’s own history also includes a former commercial enterprise, which adds another dimension to its character.

The property Holmia 11 has been designated as having special cultural-historical value and is subject to extended building permit requirements. According to reports, there are unused building rights as well as a future possibility to construct a garage; see separate drawing. Similarly, it is possible to create additional living space in the basement by connecting the basement level and the entry level with an interior staircase; see the proposed drawing. Naturally, this must be done with great consideration for the property’s cultural-historical values.

A meticulously restored turn-of-the-century home where architecture, history, and modern comfort come together, nestled among greenery in one of Lidingö’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods.
