LOFT LIVING IN STOCKHOLM

22nd August 2014

So what does 20 million SEK (that’s around £1,750,000) buy you in the heart of Stockholm? Well, it buys you this: a super-styled and high spec two bedroom loft space in Södermalm, located between Maria Square and Mosebacke Square.

To describe this property as generous would be an understatement: think flowing open plan living spaces bathed in natural light thanks to the skylights that punctuate the different zones.

There’s beautiful craftsmanship throughout, from the walnut cabinetry in the kitchen to the teak feature wall in the main bathroom. And while we’re considering the bathroom, just look at that sleek freestanding bath. Gorgeous, right? Every detail has been considered here, right down to the Vola taps.

For me, one of the features that makes this loft stand out is the terrace. I live on the top floor of a building and the lack of outdoor space is one of the main things I miss. Just to be able to open a door and have the sense of bringing the outside in would make such an impact.

Here, the sheltered terrace gains both the afternoon and evening sun, and with the concertina doors folded open from the dining area, this is a space I could imagine using year round, taking in the views out over the Stockholm rooftops. Wonderful.
