Bursiljum 65 - Burträsk - Detached house - HusmanHagberg

There are houses you like – and then there are houses you remember.

Welcome to Bursiljum 65, an extraordinary property where over a hundred years of history meet thoughtful design, generous spaces and a renovation carried out with a rare respect for the house's origins. Here you will find no less than 277 square metres of living space on a leafy plot of just over 4,000 square metres – but it is the story behind the house that makes this something truly special.

The building was erected in 1909 and for many years served as the village's grocery store – a natural meeting place where the people of Bursiljum not only bought their groceries but also collected their post and met in everyday life. The shop closed in 1989, but traces of its history still remain.

When the current owners first crossed the threshold in 2016, it was almost like stepping into a time capsule. The old shop shelves and freezers still stood there, and the house was waiting to begin a new chapter.

It became the start of a multi-year and very careful transformation. A home created for the house – not the other way around

The renovation has been guided by a clear idea: to modernise without erasing the history. Classic joinery, wainscoting and the house's generous proportions meet dark tones, wood, patterns and modern material choices in a combination that feels both elegant and personal.

Already in the entrance hall, the beautiful staircase sets the tone. White-painted joinery contrasts with dark wooden steps and leads up through the house, while the classic wall panelling recurs as a common thread throughout the interior.

The social spaces are impressive. The large living room receives light from several directions and offers plenty of room for both grand dinners and long evenings in front of the wood-burning stove. Here you find the sense of space you would expect from a house of this size, while the materials and details create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

The kitchen – the heart of the house and part of its history The kitchen is undoubtedly one of the home's great attractions – and it sits in the very place where the village shop once operated.

The generous kitchen island in deep blue is combined with light worktops, brass details and bespoke storage. There is plenty of both workspace and storage, and the large kitchen island becomes a natural gathering point for family and friends.

The old shop counter from the store era has been carefully cleaned and preserved and is today integrated into the kitchen – a wonderful detail that lets the house's history live on in everyday life. Large glass sections also open onto the generous terrace, blurring the boundary between indoors and outdoors during the warmer months.

On the upper floor, the house continues to impress with several generous bedrooms and plenty of space for the large family as well as guests, a home office and hobbies. The master bedroom is something truly special. Here, a private and atmospheric bedroom suite has been created with dark, deep tones, decorative wall panelling and a generous walk-in closet. Directly adjacent awaits an exclusive bathroom where the dark colour scheme, glass sections and well-considered lighting create an almost boutique-hotel-like feel.

In addition, there is another spacious bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, double sinks and a separate shower – a light and elegant room where classic material choices meet modern functions.

With its generous spaces, Bursiljum 65 offers a flexibility that is hard to find.

There is room for the large family, for overnight guests, for a home office, a teenagers' corner and hobbies – without having to compromise on the shared spaces.

The practical areas have received the same care. The laundry room is stylishly designed with patterned tiled flooring and bespoke storage, while ground-source heating contributes to comfortable and efficient heating of the large home.

Outdoors awaits a 4,020-square-metre unfenced freehold plot, surrounded by greenery with plenty of room for both activity and relaxation. There is also a substantial double garage with electric doors and generous parking on the driveway.

This is a home where every renovation, material and detail has been given its time. Where the history of the old village shop is still present, while the house today offers the comfort and functionality that modern family life requires.

A home for you who appreciate the genuine but do not want to compromise on comfort. For you who seek large spaces but also want warmth and character. And above all – for you who want to own a house unlike any other.

From the village's natural meeting place to a personal dream home. Now the next chapter in the story of Bursiljum 65 awaits.
