Main Description
Located in a quiet, sunny cul-de-sac in Berger on the eastern side of the Nesodden peninsula, this modern Scandinavian timber home sits on a 989 m² secluded natural lot within the protected coastal zone. Properties of this kind are rare, offering a unique combination of an untouched natural plot—characterized by mature pine trees and wild local flora—and a modern house built in the style of Nordic functionalism. The property overlooks the Bunnefjord, offering extensive views, morning sunlight, and nearby opportunities for swimming, boating, and kayaking.
While the original structure dates back to 1961, the property has undergone a complete reconstruction in recent years. Only sections of the original foundation and a single wall were retained. The house was built by an experienced Master Builder who personally completed the work. The architectural approach focuses on clean lines, natural light, and the texture of the materials, designed to integrate the home with the surrounding nature, fjord, and sky.
