Vettsta 121

A beloved cottage from the 19th century where time seems to have stood still

Welcome to Vettsta 121 – a place where tranquility, history and the Swedish countryside meet in the very best way. Here awaits a charming holiday home with roots from around 1850, surrounded by greenery, blooming lilacs and old fruit trees. This is not just a house, but a summer retreat filled with memories, stories and an atmosphere that is hard to recreate.

As soon as you step onto the front porch, you are met by the genuine feeling that characterizes the entire property. Inside, many of the original details have been preserved, with wide wooden floors, wood-burning stoves, mirrored doors, visible wooden details and an open fireplace that together create a home with soul and character. Here, generations have gathered for summers, holidays and days off, and now the house awaits its next owner to write their own story.

The home comprises approximately 100 sqm spread over two floors. On the entrance floor there is a rustic kitchen with a wood-burning stove as a natural gathering point, a cozy living room with a beautiful old wooden floor and open fireplace, a spacious hall with a wood-burning stove, and a bedroom. Upstairs you are met by a large bedroom with its own wood-burning stove (not in use), a lovely common room with space for many overnight guests, and two attic rooms, one of which has previously been used as a bedroom and the other as practical storage.

This is a holiday home for those who appreciate the genuine over the perfect. Many of the older details still remain, and together with the furnishings, which are included in the purchase, the feeling is almost like stepping into a bygone era. Here, the next owner takes over a piece of Swedish cottage history and gently carries it forward.

The lush garden offers a classic cottage setting with lawns, lilacs, apple trees, plum trees and other mature vegetation that creates a private and peaceful setting. There is plenty of room for play, gardening, long summer dinners and relaxing in the sun. The plot also features an outdoor toilet, an outdoor shower and a storage shed with a workshop section, providing good storage options.

The property is sold with furnishings and fixtures in as-is condition, meaning the genuine feeling and the house's history follow along to the next owner.

Here you live in a quiet rural location just outside Alunda, close to both services and nature. In Alunda there are grocery stores, restaurants, a health center and other everyday services, while Uppsala is within a comfortable commuting distance. For those who want to take excursions, the Roslagen coast and Öregrund are also within easy reach.

For those longing for a true cottage where creaking floors, the warmth of wood-burning stoves and birdsong set the pace, this is a place to fall in love with.
