Cozy apartment in a nice and quiet residential area close to nature.

The area we live in is called Mellansjö and it was a summer cottage area for a long time, but in the last 25 years the character of the area has changed and now it is almost exclusively permanent housing here. Mellansjö is still a bit special because we are a community consisting of 195 members/houses where we take care of our own roads, green areas and common facilities such as Badudden (area with docks, beach, party area and changing rooms, etc.), tennis court, boat clubs, sauna raft and playgrounds. It is quite unique to have something like this so close to Stockholm and it gives a special cohesion that we are very proud of. Otherwise, the area is characterized by relatively large villas and large lots.

The proximity to nature is also special. In summer, lake Magelungen is a popular swimming and fishing lake. Many of the residents have a boat and we are often out kayaking or SUP paddling. Something that you can of course also do.

We have been living in this house since 2007, which we have renovated and in several stages. The house was originally built in 1938 but has been extended several times. Through Tomas' company and his craftsmen, we have received a lot of help and the renovations continue.

Now we are working on beautifying the front of the house with a new retaining wall, carport/balcony and above all a nicer entrance to the house. We hope that these works will not be too disruptive.

The house is heated using central heating and a geothermal heating system. We have also installed 44 solar panels on the roof. So when the sun shines, we are self-sufficient in terms of electricity.
