Banérgatan 31A

At the very top of the courtyard building, between Karlaplan and Djurgårdsbron, you will find this distinctive duplex apartment with views over the rooftops of Stockholm. The home is characterised by a clear attic feel with exposed roof beams, sloping ceilings and generous height up to the ridge. The open floor plan, the roof windows and the windows facing two inner courtyards create a tangible sense of space and an abundance of light, while the location provides a private and secluded home. The loft solution, the bespoke details and the well-proportioned storage make efficient use of the spaces. The hallway is functionally arranged with dark tiled flooring, good space for hanging clothes and storage in an adjacent wardrobe. From here, the home opens up towards the social areas. The living room forms the natural centre of the apartment, uniting the lounge, dining area and kitchen in an open layout. Exposed roof beams, plastered masonry and varying roof angles give the home its attic character, together with the light single-plank parquet flooring. Windows facing different directions provide daylight during large parts of the day. There is room here for both a sofa group and a smaller workspace. Along the walls run bespoke bookshelves and wardrobes from floor to ceiling, discreetly integrated into the interior. The kitchen is located in direct connection to the social area and is finished with smooth white fronts and white tiles, creating a fine contrast against the dark worktop. Generous work and storage surfaces are complemented by a movable kitchen island, which provides additional counter space and can easily be adapted to your needs. The equipment is complete with appliances and integrated lighting. Two window sections in a row let the light flow freely and create an inviting dining spot right next to it. A bespoke staircase with integrated storage leads up to the upper level. The loft's position under the roof ridge enhances the duplex feel and offers space for a double bed. A roof window lets in daylight from above, while sliding doors conceal storage and the spaces under the sloping ceilings are utilised in a well-thought-out manner. The bathroom has a stylish interior with white tiles and flooring in light natural stone. A further roof window provides the room with natural daylight. The fittings include a black vanity unit with double basins, a shower with a movable glass wall and a wall-hung toilet. There is also a combined washing machine and tumble dryer. The blocks around Banérgatan are among the most attractive in Östermalm, with Karlaplan's shops and services in one direction and the greenery, water and walking paths of Djurgården in the other.
