Karlfeldtsgatan 2

Bright and magnificent six-room apartment of 194 sqm with iconic 1930s details, just five minutes from Korsvägen Bjurfors Century presents a bright apartment of 194 sqm and six rooms. The elegant architecture and iconic details of the 1930s meet modern design. Description In a high and leafy location in Örgryte - Jakobsdal lies this large and radiantly bright 1930s apartment. The herringbone parquet floors extend through the six rooms, where wide window sections open up to both light and the lush greenery of the quiet neighbourhood. The interior has been tastefully renovated in detail with confident respect for the iconic details of the original environment. The location offers the best of both worlds, with natural proximity to both the wild nature of Delsjön and the bustle of the city centre. Down to Korsvägen you roll by bike in just under five minutes. The architecturally clean brick building was built in 1932. The apartment's partially open floor plan of a full 194 sqm almost brings to mind a large single-storey villa. Here there are up to five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The home's bright and elegant atmosphere is strongly characterised by the period's clean architectural lines, generous ceiling height and delightful room volumes. Among many well-preserved or recreated details are an open marble fireplace, clean stucco work, intricately carved mouldings, a rounded 1930s arch, oak parquet floors, limestone window sills, high baseboards with door blocks, functionalist windows, stylised mirrored doors, serving cabinets, built-in wardrobe walls, three balconies, inner halls, sliding double doors and more. Added to this are two tastefully newly created bathrooms as well as a surprisingly large, well-equipped and architecturally clean kitchen. The apartment's many built-in storage solutions are rarely spacious. The surrounding area offers all conceivable services as well as several schools with a very good reputation. Interior ENTRANCE HALL Open the apartment's front door with a Yale lock. Beneath the entrance hall's high ceiling lies oak parquet in a herringbone pattern with a border. The period's intricately carved mouldings set the tone for an interior with many timeless original details. The home's high baseboards, for example, have traditional door blocks. The very large apartment's open floor plan presents itself to the right. GUEST BATHROOM Straight ahead, behind the period's stylised mirrored door with a handle in black bakelite and white metal, lies a newly created guest bathroom with hexagonal tiles and glazed ceramic tiles in a beautiful blue shade. Here there is a WC, a washbasin vanity and a shower corner. The taps and rain shower have a tasteful design in brass. INNER HALL The herringbone parquet continues in under a wide and high doorway and out into an inner hall. In the ceiling runs the period's restrained stucco work, and a wide and slightly rounded 1930s arch is bordered by high, intricately carved corners in white wood. Behind the arch, the large social areas come into view, and to the right the inner hall continues with high-ceilinged, built-in wardrobes in a tasteful grey. The wardrobe fronts have mirrors and stylish fittings in bakelite and white metal. BEDROOM 1 To the left of the hall, behind double mirrored doors, lies a large bedroom with herringbone parquet and stucco work. In the corner sits a stylish open fireplace in marble and black granite; the bedroom could also serve as anything from a dining room to a cosy library. At the other end, the room receives light from a window section and a glass door out to one of the apartment's three balconies. This one is under a roof and faces the undulating courtyard's verdant deciduous trees and the granite outcrops that come to light. On a summer evening, the birdsong is strong, and between the trees the lights of Liseberg's attractions can be glimpsed, barely 200 metres away. SOCIAL AREAS With the double, sliding mirrored doors set at the gable, the bedroom joins a semi-open floor plan with the large social areas, which lie at an angle. In this large corner room, the window arrangement has been inspired by the emerging functionalism. The large, three-part window sections meet at the building's corner and create a verdant panoramic view down over the park-like surroundings. The period's slender limestone window sills, advanced stucco work, oak parquet, built-in radiator covers and intricately carved mouldings are other details in the beautiful room. The spaces receive light from two different directions, and here too there is access to a long balcony. The social areas have timelessly clean architectural lines and a delightful room volume for everything from large parties to the family's quiet everyday evenings. Through the wide, rounded arch, the inner hall is visible. BEDROOM 2 An original salon in a row – the oak parquet continues in through double sliding doors with mirrors – has been divided into two separate bedrooms. The first has double original windows and feels conceivable as a library or study. The original salon can be recreated without too much trouble. SERVING CORRIDOR Back in the inner hall, behind yet another stylised original mirrored door, lies the apartment's long serving corridor. The apartment now surprises with its great depth, as further mirrored doors come into view in the long sightline. Here the servants padded silently when they went about. The beautifully sanded plank floor has been preserved, as have the stylish, high-ceilinged serving cabinets on both sides. The long, traditional shelving area also remains. BEDROOM 3 Here to the left lies the other half of the divided salon. This bedroom has an even larger window section – the oak parquet, limestone sills and ceiling stucco work recur. BEDROOM 4 Beyond the serving corridor, a new inner hall opens up, connecting to two bright bedrooms and a bathroom. In this hall too there is a large wardrobe behind mirrored doors. The first bedroom lies to the left with a large window section facing the greenery. The parquet and details recur, and the short wall has a high-ceilinged wardrobe wall. BEDROOM 5 The next bedroom lies in a row and is mirrored with the same details and a wardrobe wall. The room feels suitable as a parents' bedroom, with its slightly more private location next to the bathroom. BATHROOM One step from the parents' bedroom lies the apartment's largest bathroom. It has been newly created in a very tasteful tone with hexagonal tiles and white full tiling laid in a stylishly uniform pattern. The bathroom has architecturally clean brass details and a freestanding washbasin on a light marble slab. Here there is also a WC, a rain shower behind glass walls, a heated towel rail, downlights and a mirror cabinet. The large bathroom also easily accommodates the apartment's laundry area with a workspace in light marble and machines from Miele. KITCHEN Now the apartment surprises with a very large and bright, newly renovated kitchen. The door leading in has a mirror with traditional raw glass. On the floor lies sanded plank flooring, and the tasteful interior is in white and grey with built-in solutions at an angle. The worktops are in stainless steel with partially high splashbacks in white tiles, laid in a uniform pattern. The architecturally clean fronts have stylised mirrors, and the high-quality white goods are integrated with elements of stainless steel. Another section with high-ceilinged original storage has been elegantly matched in the same grey shade. Here also opens a large and open dining area. The light falls in from two wide window sections, and here there is access to the apartment's third balcony, facing the calm of the inner courtyard.
