Viktoriagatan 10

Beautiful architecture in the heart of Sörhaga Spaciousness and elegance characterise the large, much-talked-about 1920s villa. A well-preserved treasure with a beautifully mature garden. Description Rarely is the opportunity offered for such a genuine and well-preserved home as this property in beautiful Sörhaga. From the wrought-iron gate in the hedge of the well-planned garden, gravel paths wind their way through the greenery. Apple trees, a pear tree, the tall magnolia and cherry trees cast long shadows in the soft evening sun. The patios facing different directions offer sun from morning to evening. Someone is sitting on the granite steps leading up to the enormous reception rooms. Faint music streams out, and candles burn in the windows. On such an evening, the atmosphere below the 100-year-old house in period style feels like a costume drama from the BBC. But while the garden's atmosphere is fantastic, the beautiful façade conceals an almost fairytale-like secret. The interior's solid and beautiful original environment – with its details, architecture and materials – is, in fact, almost entirely preserved. The house has had the same owner for a long time and has almost entirely been spared from renovation hysteria and hopelessly dated interior design trends. This is probably unique and opens up the possibility of creating a home that is entirely one of a kind. Over the house's 230 sqm and six rooms, the elegance of the 1920s still rests, with a natural patina from the years gone by. The house is a listed heritage building. The hundred-year-old reception rooms of the entrance floor, with a punch veranda facing the garden, feel surprisingly modern in their open floor plan. The herringbone oak parquet floors stretch out beneath the high ceiling. Timeless details such as the open fireplace, the tiled stove and the beautiful decorative paintings contribute to the atmosphere. The entrance floor also has a large kitchen, a serving passage in original condition, a dining room and living room, as well as a beautiful secluded bay window alcove for intimate conversations. The traces of gentry and servants remain on the upper floor as well, whose hall connects to four bedrooms and a bathroom. Three larger bedrooms and one smaller one that works well as a children's room or study. The rooms offer spacious built-in wardrobes, and the light falls beautifully from windows with original glass facing the garden. One of the bedrooms offers a balcony with double doors overlooking the greenery of the villa neighbourhood. The attractive location in Sörhaga means proximity to both water and wild nature, as well as just a few minutes' walking distance to commuter trains and Alingsås town centre. With everything from running tracks and golf to an evening dip in Lake Mjörn. If the development potential of the living space is not large enough, the basement floor with its beautiful natural stone opens up a further approx. 100 sqm with a food cellar, laundry room, storage, boiler room and workshop. In addition, the attic floor offers unfinished spaces with light entering from windows facing different directions. Interior A beautiful old stone staircase takes us up to the house's period entrance with a door framed by ornamentation. Behind the door awaits an entrance hall with storage immediately to the right under the stairs. Further in opens a larger, period and separate cloakroom with an adjoining toilet. The wooden wall panelling has been preserved, as have the ceiling paintings and ornamentation around the door frames. A beautiful wooden staircase disappears up to the second floor. To the right of the entrance hall opens a charming living room with an open fireplace, beautiful parquet flooring, original wallpaper and a smaller secluded section with built-in bookshelves providing space for cosy reading moments. The room volume combined with joinery and details creates a kind of timeless elegance. The room has windows facing two directions, and the mullioned windows with crown glass contribute period atmosphere and light. Further on through a wide doorway with sliding doors, the oak parquet continues into an outstanding dining room with a bay window and an impressive tiled stove. The room is large and elegant with windows facing two directions. Here, the family's great occasions have been celebrated by three generations over nearly a hundred years. A few lit candles are enough to create atmosphere and feeling during dinners and parties. Via a period serving passage with original cabinets, you enter the kitchen, which is also accessible from the entrance hall and a separate kitchen entrance. Here there is ample storage as well as a period pantry. Via the kitchen entrance, you step directly out into the garden. Following the beautiful wooden staircase up to the villa's second floor, you are met by a large hall currently used as a family room. The entire upper floor has fine wooden floors and details such as leaded glass and mirrored doors. Via the hall you reach the bathroom, toilet and three large bedrooms as well as a children's room or alternatively a study. The floor has many original details such as wall panelling and original storage. The fully tiled bathroom of older standard has a bathtub and washbasin. From one of the bedrooms you step out onto the balcony, where you can gaze out over the garden and the surrounding neighbourhood. A smaller staircase takes you up to the attic, where light streams in from four roof windows. Here there is ample storage and hiding places for the little ones. The basement has practical functions such as storage, laundry room, boiler room, workshop, food cellar and an exit to the garden. All in all, this is an almost uniquely well-preserved 1920s villa with a fantastic atmosphere and an unbeatable location.
