Lindgården - Delightful Waterfront Property with Views Towards Vaxholm
This fantastic location is situated on the idyllic archipelago island of Hästholmen, offering enchanting views over the approach to Vaxholm and Kastellet. The park-like waterfront property features flat grassy areas, an avenue of lime trees, gravel paths, and a soft shoreline with a dock and sandy beach. The well-maintained merchant's villa from 1909 is complemented by two generously sized guesthouses. On the island, which is serviced year-round by Waxholmsbolaget's ferries, you can enjoy a wonderful environment with grand summer villas and access to a historic tennis court. The properties, which must be counted among the famous classic summer retreats in the Stockholm archipelago, are truly fine examples of the craftsmanship of the past, evident in their form and decor. Many original details have been preserved, such as paneled doors, bay windows, and windows with machine-manufactured hand-blown glass, all replaced in the fully renovated window frames. Not to mention, the property boasts a very fine location with enchanting views towards Vaxholm and Kastellet.
The main building welcomes you with an entrance from a covered veranda facing the property's upper side, with a lit avenue and gravel paths. The hall features a staircase to the upper floor and a guest toilet. The large social area facing the sea consists of a living room, dining room with a tiled stove, and a lovely enclosed veranda with access to a terrace. Adjacent to the dining room is a fully equipped country kitchen. The upper floor comprises a hall with beadboard walls, a fully tiled bathroom with a toilet, sink, shower, and washing machine. Additionally, there are two bedrooms with tiled stoves, a study, and a wonderful open loggia with a tiled floor. Throughout the property, you will find wooden floors.
Down by the shoreline, there are two very nicely situated guesthouses positioned like wings towards the main building. The eastern guesthouse, built in 2016 with three rooms and a kitchen, features a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy living room, windows with low sills, and a terrace with an awning. The upper floor consists of a sleeping loft accommodating both a single bed, a double bed, and a seating area. The guesthouse on the western side of the property, near the dock, was built in 2005 and has a floor plan of four rooms and a kitchen, surrounded by fine wooden decks next to rock outcrops. The layout includes a living room with a soapstone stove, a fully tiled bathroom with underfloor heating, a shower, toilet, and sink. From the hall, a staircase leads to the upper floor, which includes a large hall with good storage and a walk-in closet, as well as two bedrooms. There is a potential bedroom on the lower floor.
The property also includes a small cabin for storing a ride-on lawnmower, a storage house, and a beautiful playhouse from 1906.
The sale includes the properties Stegesund 1:136 and Stegesund 1:162, which are adjacent to each other. The properties have been inspected and are sold with a disclaimer clause regarding defects and deficiencies.
Hästholmen/Vikingsborg and Stegesund is one of the best-preserved areas with turn-of-the-century summer villas along the old shipping route towards Stockholm, where the island's original character has been retained. The island features small gravel roads for walking or cycling, a tennis court, and traditional midsummer celebrations. From the property to the Vikingsborg or Stegesund steamboat pier, it is a 10 or 15-minute walk, respectively. The island is serviced by Waxholmsbolaget's ferries from Vaxholm or from the Grand Hotel at Strömkajen year-round.
