14 room luxury Detached House for sale in Vaxholm, Sweden

Merchant's Villa with Seafront Plot and Dock Welcome to a well-preserved archipelago dream with Jugend and National Romantic style, built in 1904. A wonderful summer retreat with a seafront plot, boathouse, and dock (suitable for sailing boats), along with a large natural plot and mature garden. Expansive views of the sea. A highly sought-after location at Hästholmen - Stegesund. Villa Vikingaviken was built by contractor Lars Pettersson in 1903-1904 using plastered stone with sash windows and green shutters. In 1912, the villa was renovated by the architectural firm Ivar Tengbom, adding another floor and extending the northern gable. As a result, it became one of the largest villas on the island. The villa is divided into 14 rooms with large social spaces, multiple bedrooms, a punch veranda, a whisky room, two rooftop terraces, and a balcony. There are several functional tile stoves, and in the large lounge, there is an open fireplace. The property also features a well-preserved mural by artist Jerk Werkmäster from 1929, depicting scenes of the property and its previous owners. Hästholmen - Stegesund is one of the best-preserved areas with summer villas from the turn of the century, along the old fairway leading into Stockholm, where the island's original character has been maintained. The island has small gravel roads for walking or cycling, a tennis court, and traditional Midsummer celebrations. From the property to the Vikingsborg steamboat dock, it's about a 6-7 minute walk. The island is serviced by Waxholmsbolaget’s tours from Vaxholm or from the Grand Hotel at Strömkajen.
