Translated listing description:

"A rural dream in top condition! Småland forests, secluded location and adjacent to Gullabo hides this fine gem. A very well-maintained and largely completely renovated building of 140 square meters in a lovely combination of rural charm and all of today's amenities as well as a plot of 6420 square meters. NOTE! Photos of the plot and garden were taken before the owner was intruded by wild boars. Today there is beech damage throughout the garden which is not apparent from the pictures.

Entrance floor

Hall

Large hall with ample space for both shoes and clothes. From the hall we continue into the kitchen.

Kitchen/Dining room

Robust kitchen in a modern rural design with associated appliances from 2020. The kitchen is characterized by large work surfaces and a lovely view of the patio and the back of the house. The kitchen also has space for a small dining group. Next to the kitchen there is also plenty of storage in a large pantry which today also houses a fridge and freezer.

Living room

Back through the hall we have the living room which is a large room with space for larger furniture and a lovely fireplace with insert!

Bedroom 1

Entrance floor also contains a bedroom of a solid size. Here is room for a larger bed and wardrobes.

Laundry room/boiler room

Adjacent to the kitchen is a large laundry room with washing machine and dryer. Next to this room we also find the boiler room with the pellet boiler.

Second floor

Family room

In the family room on the upper floor we are welcomed by a nice plank floor that follows the entire floor plan with the exception of the bathroom. This is a bright and open room and here too there is space for larger furniture according to your own needs and wishes.

Bedrooms 2-4

Solid bedrooms with space for both a double bed, storage furniture or why not a home office. The same bright and fresh style in all bedrooms.

Bathroom

Large bathroom on the upper floor with bathtub, WC, sink, etc. A neat and stylish room with everything you could need. The floor and walls are decorated with light shades of tiles and panels and on the floor is a darker wet room carpet.

Shower room

Next to this bathroom there is also an extra shower room that is in the same stylish style but is slightly smaller. There is still room for a shower, toilet and sink here.

Third floor

Finally, we also make our way up to the top floor of the house. This has also been renovated with new, fresh finishes and there is plenty of floor space that can be used as several bedrooms. A lovely extra space that adds even more size to the house."
