Already at the entrance, the tone is set. A beautifully preserved staircase with wrought-iron railings and original joinery leads the way up, and beyond the front door a generous entrance hall unfolds—a calm introduction that opens naturally into the apartment’s interconnected rooms, allowing the eye to linger on the craftsmanship that reappears throughout the home. The reception rooms are arranged in a classic enfilade, and with the double doors open, both sightlines and daylight flow effortlessly through the entire residence. Here, soaring ceilings, preserved decorative plasterwork, and herringbone parquet flooring are complemented by an abundance of windows, several of which are set within elegant rounded bay windows that capture the light and frame views across the city rooftops.
These are beautiful rooms that feel equally suited to quiet moments with books as they do to large gatherings. The dining room centres around a bright bay window with wainscoting, where the long dining table is just as naturally set for everyday meals as for celebrations. The home also includes a library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, bedrooms with windows recessed into the bay windows, and mosaic-clad bathrooms. A subtle yet telling detail is the divided wooden windows, whose hand-crafted glass refracts the light so that it shifts and comes alive throughout the day. Few homes embody the character of their era as naturally as this one. Original details have been carefully preserved throughout the apartment, including decorative plaster ceilings with leaf and fruit motifs, herringbone parquet flooring, wainscoting, and divided timber windows, where the materials have aged gracefully, lending both warmth and substance to every room.
The building was completed in 1907 and is one of the grand landmark properties of the turn of the century, with a façade richly adorned with Art Nouveau plaster ornamentation, rounded corner towers, and bay windows. The shared courtyard is paved with natural stone and planted with rhododendrons—a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city—and even the entrance welcomes you with vaulted ceilings, stone flooring, and period light fixtures. The building is served by a lift, and the apartment includes both an attic storage room and a basement storage room.
Drottningtorget is located in the heart of the Old Town, with origins dating back to the early nineteenth century. Once the city’s eastern gateway, it is now known for its vibrant market square and the popular farmers’ market, Bondens egen marknad. The surrounding neighbourhood is characterised by beautifully preserved turn-of-the-century buildings and cobbled streets, while the Rörsjö Canal follows Drottninggatan southwards and the greenery of Rörsjöparken is within easy reach. Central Station, Gustaf Adolfs Torg, Lilla Torg, and Gamla Väster are all just a short walk away.
