Grand Appartement Historique Avec Vue Sur La Rivière Gavle

A piece of Gävle’s history is now for sale. This grand apartment has been home to both the city’s mayor and the owners of Gevalia, enjoying a magnificent location beside Gammelbron and the Gavle River, in the building known as both the Mayor’s Residence and the Engwall House. The apartment forms part of the residence that Gevalia’s then CEO, Sven Engwall, moved into with his family during the 1920s.

It is a beautiful and well-preserved home with exceptionally generous and representative reception rooms. You are welcomed into a spectacular circular hall that leads on to a dining room and a salon/living room. History tells of grand and elegant parties and Christmas celebrations, with guests dancing in long lines through the rooms. The more private section of the apartment accommodates the kitchen, bedrooms, and bathroom. One floor up, there is an additional bedroom along with a bathroom and laundry room.

The apartment features two French balconies and two fireplaces. The property also includes a wine cellar located in the building’s vaulted basement, a garden with several outdoor seating areas and planting beds, as well as unfinished attic spaces.

The location is highly central, yet peaceful and secluded on a car-free site. Within just a couple of minutes on foot, you can reach both the heart of Gävle city and the beautiful urban oasis of Boulognerskogen, as well as the adjacent concert hall. The central station is also within walking distance, offering frequent train connections to Uppsala, Arlanda, and Stockholm.
