there are streets in gamla viken where time seems to move more slowly, where the medieval street layout still guides your steps and the old traditional houses remain aligned with the street, their gardens tucked away behind them. it is on one such street that this home is situated. behind the weathered wooden fence and the gnarled canopy of the tree by the gate, the plot opens towards the sea, and between the rooftops below, the öresund stretches out, blue and close at hand.
the house is a single-storey villa beneath a tiled roof, finished in a muted, light colour that complements the character of the village. it quickly becomes apparent that this is a lovingly maintained home. inside, warm earth-toned tiled floors run through the shared living spaces, while a substantial ceiling beam lends character to the dining room. arched openings connect the kitchen, dining room and living room into a cohesive and highly livable whole. the home is filled with natural light throughout the year, and from both the dining area and kitchen, the eye naturally rests on the water while preparing meals or setting the table.
the 145 sq m of living space includes bedrooms in peaceful positions, an additional room that could equally serve as an office or guest room, and two bathrooms that make both everyday life and entertaining comfortable. beneath the main living area is a finished basement with a laundry room, storage and an additional room – the kind of valuable extra space that quietly makes a house far more versatile than its official square metres might suggest, whether used for exercise, hobbies or an extra sleeping area when guests arrive.
it is outdoors, however, that the house perhaps shows itself at its very best. the wooden deck is beautifully arranged around the swimming pool, with plenty of space for both long dinners and peaceful afternoons in the sun. clipped hedges, lavender and planted borders add greenery and structure, while an outdoor shower is perfect after a long day at the beach. a separate storage building provides additional space and possibilities. the private driveway offers parking for two cars, including an ev charging point.
living in viken means being part of one of kullabygden’s oldest communities, a historic fishing and maritime village with roots dating back to the middle ages. captain’s residences and preserved buildings tell the story of a time when the village’s life revolved around the sea. around the turn of the 20th century, viken became a popular seaside resort, a character that remains today. the waterfront promenade, bathing spots and harbour are all within walking distance, as are the amenities of the village centre, while helsingborg is easily accessible for everything else everyday life requires.
