Stora Nygatan, Göteborg

At the very top of the gable of the house at Stora Nygatan 5, signed 1850, lies this charming attic apartment with arched windows, dormers, and sloping ceilings. The elevator goes all the way up. Here you live as if in your own oasis, with a secluded location and a fine view of the moat and the lush Garden Society. Consistently light color scheme in Scandinavian style with light wooden floors and white-painted walls. The entrance has full ceiling height and opens up to the kitchen and dining area. The living room is positioned at the end of the building where light streams in from all six arched windows with views of the greenery. The kitchen is generous with timeless decor and white doors, and a skylight brings in light from above. There are two cozy bedrooms, both with their own light sources. One has wall-mounted storage in built-in wardrobes and a skylight above the bed, the other an arched window and works just as well as a children's room or study. The bathroom is fully tiled with underfloor heating, shower, a washbasin with plenty of storage, and a laundry tower with a washer and dryer. The ceiling height and the many windows make the apartment feel spacious despite the sloping ceilings. The location is as central as can be. The Garden Society is like your own garden on the other side of the moat, and you can walk to Central Station, Nordstan, and Avenyn in a few minutes. There are tram stops around the corner, making the entire city accessible without a car. In the surrounding neighborhoods, there is a large selection of restaurants, cafes, and bars, and you have both theater, concert hall, and the city’s nightlife within walking distance. Despite this, you live surprisingly peacefully, at the very top of the house with views over the greenery.
