Much of the garden is around 60 years old and dominated by lilacs. It features four apple trees (including the local ‘Ullström’ variety), two pear trees, three cherry trees, currants in various colors, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, rhubarb, and grapes. There are six raised garden beds (constructed from pallet collars) where herbs thrive, while the rest of the garden consists of larger, open planting areas. In the southwest corner of the property, there is a small, natural pond that serves as a habitat for frogs. A patio, shaded by chestnut trees, was added in 2023. In the spring, crocuses and lilies of the valley appear, followed by a vibrant display of traditional, heirloom-style flowers, such as lilies and roses.

The house was built in 1923 as a multi-generational home for a family of tailors. The upper floor contains three bedrooms and a bathroom, while the ground floor features a living room, kitchen, two studio rooms, a pantry, and a bathroom. The extension at the rear is contemporary in design, and the studio space is divided into two rooms with their own private entrance. The basement is fully heated and has recently undergone extensive concrete work. The heating system uses a pellet boiler, with the burner scheduled for replacement in 2025.

We began replacing the roof in 2013. As the upper floor was largely unfinished, we constructed two bedrooms and a bathroom, designed in a traditional style that complements the character of the house. New wooden windows—fitted with drip caps—were purchased for the entire property; the windows on the upper floor have been replaced, while those on the ground floor remain. Additionally, there are windows available for a glass-enclosed veranda. We installed a water-based underfloor heating system on the upper floor in 2016, and a similar system was installed throughout much of the ground floor in 2006. This is also the year—based on the ground floor—that the kitchen was last renovated. Several features from the 1920s remain intact, including the beaded-board wainscoting in the entrance hall, the wooden staircase, and the kitchen pantry.

The facade consists of two layers: an older, lower layer of wooden siding covered by fiberboard, over which a newer layer of siding was installed about 40 years ago. Parts of this outer layer will eventually need to be replaced, and the areas affected by renovations on the upper floor currently have only temporary protection that requires proper repair. However, the underlying structure is sound; with a proper facade restoration, the house will truly reach its full aesthetic potential. With just a few simple measures, it could look far more attractive than it currently appears.
