Pontonjärgatan 49

A through-flowing 1920s apartment with a balcony facing the courtyard and a fully functioning open fireplace!

On Pontonjärgatan 49, in the middle of the quieter blocks of Nedre Kungsholmen, lies this 3.5-room apartment on the second floor. A home where the architecture of the 1920s is still present, but where every update has been made with respect for what already existed.

The buildings here were erected during an era when proportions, natural light and materials were allowed to take up space, something evident in the apartment's through-flowing layout and generous room connections. The windows run along two directions and create a soft light throughout the home, from street to courtyard.

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone. Carrara marble meets painted joinery in a mild grey tone, and there is a natural place for outerwear without it feeling cramped. The security door with a glass transom is a fine example of how function has been combined with the original character.

The inner hallway is something more than just a passage – rather a room to be used. Here stands the open fireplace, still fully functional, giving both weight and direction to the home. Adjacent is a natural spot for a larger dining table, but also space for a more relaxed seating area.

The kitchen faces the inner courtyard, secluded and quiet. The deep blue tone of the cabinet doors gives the room character without taking over, and together with Carrara marble, brass details and white goods from Electrolux, an environment is created that feels both carefully considered and everyday at the same time. There is ample workspace and storage, and the solutions are practical without being visible.

The balcony faces the inner courtyard and becomes a natural extended room during the warmer months of the year. It is generous in size (approx. 140 x 330 cm) with newly laid, heat-treated decking that gives a warm and cosy feeling underfoot. There is easily room for both a seating group and plant cultivation. The plantings are already in place and create a soft privacy screen, with Californian stonecrop, kärleksört (Hylotelephium) and climbing clematis that change over the season. A place that works just as well for the morning coffee as for a late dinner when the evening falls quiet.

The bedroom next to the kitchen also faces the courtyard and is quietly situated. A room to retreat to, with space for a double bed and storage in the form of a built-in wardrobe.

The second bedroom lies in line with the living room and faces the street. Here the feel is somewhat more open, with the same fine natural light and proportions that characterise the rest of the home.

The living room bears clear traces of the building's origins – the ceiling stucco, the herringbone parquet with its darker border and the tall windows. A room that does not need to be overworked, where the furniture and the whole family have room.

The bathroom has been renovated with materials close to the building's expression – Carrara marble, half-set tiles and details in brass. Here there is a bathtub, a wall-hung WC and a vanity unit with fronts from Superfront. Adjacent is a separate laundry area with a washing machine and tumble dryer as well as built-in storage.

Throughout the home runs a consistent materiality: herringbone parquet in every room, joinery painted in NCS 1500-N, energy glass in the windows and fittings in brass. It is costly, but above all well thought out.

Included with the apartment are both an attic and a basement storage room.
