Welandergatan 22

A style-true functionalist villa nestled in the greenery of Örgryte Bjurfors Century presents an outstanding, light-filled functionalist villa of 338 sqm over three floors plus a basement Description The long Welandergatan winds its way through Örgryte's classic functionalist blocks. The tall, white houses reign up here on the heights, beneath tall deciduous trees and framed by neatly trimmed hedges. On a verdant corner plot, with extra unobstructed views of the surroundings, lies this villa from 1937. Behind the large windows, light pours in over the free-flowing parquet floors of the social spaces and the restrained original details. These large functionalist villas were often built for two to three families. This villa, however, joins the two lower floors into a naturally cohesive home. This means large and bright social spaces on both floors. The principle of placing the large rooms in the various corners of the square villas, accessed from central halls and often with windows facing several directions, contributes to the fantastic light. The villa has a wealth of preserved original details, such as oak parquet in various laying patterns, large period window sections, balconies, restrained mouldings and doors with original hardware. Kitchen and bathrooms are newly created. The social spaces of the entrance floor are in a semi-open plan with the dining room, in turn, positioned at an angle to the large kitchen with access to a sunny wooden terrace. Down here there is also a sleeping area with a bathroom. On the second floor there is a large social space, two bedrooms and a very large bathroom with sauna and bathtub, all in a sober fully tiled tone. The attic floor offers a complete guest or teenage section with a living room, bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom. The location is attractive with the tranquil atmosphere of the verdant blocks, despite reaching the city centre in just a few minutes by bike, tram or bus. The immediate area offers all conceivable services, preschools and schools. A little further away, the nature of the Delsjö Reserve opens up with its beautiful vistas, running trails and a wide variety of sports activities. Interior Park on the large stone-paved driveway. The lawns flow out to the right and around the villa, which is framed by hedges following the rounded corner of the street. The white, rendered façade signals style-true functionalism with the window placement and the two balconies with wrought-iron railings. The gently sloping tiled roof completes the impression. ENTRANCE HALLContinue along the flowering rhododendrons to the villa's covered entrance steps in the gable. The stone paving continues around the next corner. The hall welcomes you with ceiling height and light. Details of the period set the tone with restrained mirrored doors, original brass handles and the oak parquet in a Dutch pattern. A period-typical white-painted staircase winds up to the next floor. SOCIAL SPACESThe hall lies in a semi-open plan with the first of the floor's two large social spaces, with abundant light from two directions. The oak parquet continues inside. Through the double doors you step out onto the lower of the two balconies at the front. The atmosphere is characterised by light and a wonderful sense of volume, for everything from party to everyday evenings. DINING ROOMWith the wide double doors in period-typical restrained design, the two social spaces are joined – the oak parquet is the same – and light falls in from yet another direction. The dining room has the functionalists' classic window arrangement with two three-part sections in the corner – the result is a brilliantly bright banqueting room. In here, tens of thousands of everyday and festive meals have been served over the years. KITCHENAt an angle and in an open plan with the dining room lies the villa's very large kitchen. On a warm summer evening, the table is set out on the large wooden terrace with white, charming wooden railings. The terrace is elevated above the greenery, with views of the surroundings and the forested heights of the Delsjö area. The kitchen fittings are in pure-lined oiled elm with a white tiled splashback up to the ceiling and elements of frosted glass display cabinets. The worktops are in polished marble. The integrated appliances are in stainless steel. BEDROOMTo the left of the hall is a small inner hall connecting to a bedroom or study in the villa's corner. Here lies a beautifully sanded plank floor, and the room has light and greenery from two directions as well as a built-in wardrobe. BATHROOMThe floor's bathroom lies just outside the bedroom. It has white full tiling, grey porcelain tiles, raw glass window, shower corner, WC and washbasin. UPPER HALLThe style-true white wooden staircase, with panelled walls and a simple handrail, receives lovely light from the stair hall's three elongated window sections. They cast light over the upper hall, and the staircase continues to wind up to the attic floor. Up here there is a social space, two bedrooms and a bathroom. SOCIAL SPACEThe hall's single-strip parquet transitions into herringbone laying. The floor flows out into a bright and delightful social space with a four-part glass section out to the balcony, and a window section that lets in light from yet another direction of the compass. From the balcony you follow the street's gentle curve down the slope and the cosy block's greenery and tall trees. The social space feels given for cosy Friday evenings or other family activities. Even though you are on the upper floor, not a single sloping ceiling is in sight – the clean and tall architectural lines and the abundant light are the same on this floor as well. MASTER BEDROOMA large, delightful bedroom with large glass sections in the corner of the room, a beautiful parquet floor and a full wall of wardrobes. The view and greenery reveal the elevated position. BEDROOMA door from the master bedroom leads out to the hall, which also connects to a children's or bedroom in the villa's next corner. The view towards the green heights of the Delsjö area is outstanding. Here there is a beautifully sanded plank floor and a full wall of wardrobes. BATHROOMBehind the next door, the villa surprises with a very large, bright and pure-lined bathroom with large window sections in two directions. Here there are porcelain tiles and walls with classic white full tiling. To the right there is a separate WC and washbasin in its own alcove, straight ahead a glass door leads into the sauna with a glass section where you can see the stars in the winter night. To the left there is a double washbasin and a tiled bathtub. The shower alcove lies behind a wall of glass concrete. THE ATTIC FLOORFollow the stairs up to a small landing with an entrance door. Behind it lies a complete apartment for the family's guests, or the perfectly sized move for the family's student or teenager. Here lies sanded plank flooring beneath charming roof angles. The floor has a smaller hall, a bedroom with a roof window, a fully tiled bathroom with shower, washbasin and WC, as well as a large living room with a kitchenette in an alcove and views over the greenery. BASEMENT FLOORThe villa's basement offers large spaces for storage and activity. Here there is a hall, living room, hobby room, two food cellars, storage room as well as the villa's laundry room with sink, work surface and machines.
