Architect-designed 1930s villa centrally located with timeless elegance and consistently high quality Welcome to this stylish and characterful villa from the 1930s – an architect-designed home where fine craftsmanship, carpentry delight, exclusive material choices and period details meet modern functionality. Description An architect-designed gem with a rich history and timeless eleganceWelcome to one of the city's true jewels – a spectacular villa designed by the highly renowned architect Sigfrid Sterner and built in 1931 for bank treasurer John Hultman. The house was built by the then highly respected master builder Emil Håkansson with a clear mission: to create a home of the absolute highest quality, where nothing was left to chance. The result is a unique home where solid craftsmanship and lavish materials meet in perfect harmony.The hand-struck brick façade gives a warm and timeless expression, while the interior boasts a range of exclusive original details that testify to the property's history and careful execution. Here you are greeted by beautiful Kolmården marble, an impressive staircase with ornate carpentry, elegant wall panelling, mirrored doors, decorative stucco and an atmospheric masonry open fireplace – all preserved with great respect for the character of the house.The entrance floor offers a bright, airy and social layout with generous ceiling height. The modern, custom-built kitchen from Kvänum is the natural heart of the home, with a large kitchen island that invites both cooking and socialising. In direct connection there is a beautiful dining salon and a stately lounge section with a hall and gentlemen's room where the open fireplace creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.On the upper floor there are up to four bedrooms or guest rooms, together with a bathroom and separate toilet. From the master bedroom a balcony/terrace is reached, providing a lovely spot for the morning coffee or a quiet evening moment.The practical basement offers good storage options with a boiler room, pantry, laundry room and several storage spaces – a functional complement to the home.The garden is something quite special – a lush and fairytale-like oasis with sun from early morning until late evening. Here you will find a relaxing environment with both a kitchen and herb garden. The heart of the garden is a magnificent red beech, a courtyard tree which, according to reports, was planted as early as the 1780s when the land belonged to the adjacent Bergengren garden – a historical detail that further reinforces the unique character of the place.The cobblestone-paved inner courtyard offers parking space and reinforces the feeling of private and sheltered living in the middle of town.Here you live in a central location close to everything – the city's restaurants, shops and transport links, while the sea and harbour are within comfortable walking distance.A home for those seeking something out of the ordinary – where history, quality and lifestyle meet.
