Roslagsgatan 12, 4th floor, Vasastan

On Roslagsgatan, in the heart of Vasastan's popular Siberia district, lies this generous 120 sqm apartment – high up on the fourth floor in a building from 1918. Here you are met with light, space and a natural gravitas that only truly well-preserved turn-of-the-century homes can carry. Already in the hall, the functioning open fireplace welcomes you, a cosy and warm detail that sets the tone immediately. The sightline continues through preserved sliding doors towards the living room and further into the kitchen, where classic carpentry meets a kitchen renovated in 2013 in timeless materials. Green shutters, generous work surfaces and a kitchen island create a natural gathering point. The living room and kitchen face Roslagsgatan and are filled with generous light, with views over the city and church spires that give the views a lively backdrop. The small-paned windows frame the light beautifully, and together with high skirting boards, ceiling rosettes and the generous ceiling height, a space is created that feels both natural and grand. The fine floors bind the rooms together and allow the old and new to meet with careful balance – a harmonious whole where the architecture speaks and the feeling of home settles in. Towards the courtyard lie three peaceful bedrooms. There is also a balcony facing east, a quiet place for morning coffee with a view over the verdant courtyard. The residence has been in the same family's ownership since 1984, which is evident in the care and the cohesive feeling. Kitchen, bathroom and surfaces were renovated in 2013 with respect for the building's character. The association is well-maintained with a low loan-to-value ratio, which provides secure finances and long-term stability. This is a home with light, location and history – a floor to pass on.
