Björke, Sweden — Comment “1810” for the link to this historical Swedish cottage, with all the patina you crave in a centuries-old home! Listed for 1,150,000 SEK (approx. $116,356) by Niklas Harlevi Klintlöf of LF Fastighetsförmedling. In the Gotland countryside idyll of Björke lies this charming limestone house dating back to 1810. A house with a very special history, where the solid limestone walls, the beautiful wooden floors and the preserved details together create a warm and genuine living environment. Here you are surrounded by a lush and mature garden with fruit trees, lush plantings and several inviting places for relaxation and socializing. The house was originally built as a poorhouse for the Björke congregation and has had several different uses over the years. During the Second World War it served as a company commander’s residence and later it was used as a teacher’s residence, among other things. The Red Cross also rented the property for a period. This colorful history gives the house an interesting background and contributes to its special character. The house has an appealing interior where older building traditions meet a personal and homely expression. Light walls, mirrored doors, visible wooden details and beautiful plank floors give the rooms a timeless feel.”
