Västerviksgatan 3

A warm welcome to Västerviksgatan 3 and one of Strängnäs most characterful town courtyards. Here you are offered a dwelling house with origins from the 17th century, a sheltered inner courtyard and several complementary buildings that together create living beyond the ordinary. The property comprises a dwelling house of 98 square metres, a separate guest building of approx. 20 sqm and a traditional storehouse of approx. 70 sqm. All of this in the middle of one of Strängnäs most attractive blocks, only a stone's throw from the small-boat harbour and Lake Mälaren. History is constantly present. The estate is mentioned as early as the 1710 tax register and is known as Lars Skräddare's farm, named after one of the property's owners during the 17th century. The dwelling house dates from the 17th century, and the property welcomes you through double gates leading into the partly gravelled and sheltered inner courtyard. Surrounded by Falu-red buildings, plantings and mature greenery, a tranquil environment is created that feels secluded despite the central location. Here there is plenty of space for both everyday life and larger gatherings, with grassy areas, a covered patio and several natural spots for socialising. The dwelling house is reached via a classic farstukvist (entrance porch) that leads into the entrance hall with tiled flooring and good possibilities for hanging off outerwear. The entrance floor houses a work-friendly kitchen with an adjoining dining room, a spacious living room and a further room that would work well as a bedroom or dining room. There is also a fully tiled bathroom with laundry equipment. Indoors, modern functions meet preserved details such as visible timber walls, older joinery and beams that recall the building's long history. The upper floor is currently arranged with two gable rooms that are well suited as bedrooms or offices. There is also an upper hall, a toilet and a wood-burning cast-iron stove that contributes both warmth and character during the colder months of the year. Beneath the house there is also a spacious pantry cellar. The detached guest building with its own WC offers great flexibility and works equally well as a home office, for multigenerational living or for overnight guests. Adjacent lies the substantial storehouse, which was moved here from Ärja in 1968, with visible timber frames and large open spaces. The building is suitable for everything from storage and hobbies to a party venue for crayfish parties, midsummer celebrations and larger family gatherings. On Västerviksgatan you live in one of Strängnäs most sought-after blocks, located between the small-boat harbour and the iconic windmill. From here you reach the town centre's shops, restaurants, cafés and services within a few minutes' walk, while the lakeside promenades of Lake Mälaren and the harbour environment are right next door. Several schools and preschools are within comfortable walking distance, making the location equally attractive for the family with children as for those who want to live in the middle of the town's historic surroundings. Here is offered a combination of historic environment, private inner courtyard and central location that rarely becomes available.
