Distinguished Lakeside Residence On The Shores Of Lake Vänern

Occupying an exceptional position along the shoreline of Lake Vänern, Residensvägen 44 is a distinguished residence dating from 1932. Constructed in beautifully weathered brick and complemented by a later timber addition, the property offers approximately 440 square metres of total floor area in a setting where architecture, nature and the water’s edge come together in remarkable harmony.

A stone staircase leads to the principal entrance, opening into a generous reception hall flanked by two versatile rooms, ideally suited as a home office, library or additional bedrooms. Beyond, two elegant reception rooms are arranged en suite, both opening directly onto the upper terrace overlooking the lake. The formal drawing room is centred around a beautifully preserved ceramic tiled stove, while original built-in double doors create an elegant transition to the dining room. Throughout the historic section of the house, original herringbone parquet flooring, period doors and generous ceiling heights reflect the home’s enduring architectural character.

The newer lower-level extension accommodates the family’s contemporary kitchen and an impressive indoor pool room, both opening directly onto the lakeside terrace. Behind the kitchen, a staircase lead to an extensive basement in excellent condition. Offering exceptional flexibility, this level lends itself perfectly to a future wellness spa, fitness suite, additional guest accommodation or further recreational space. It also offers direct access beneath the terrace to the garage and garden.

The upper floor offers a spacious private family lounge centred around a corner fireplace. Large windows and a balcony frame sweeping views across Lake Vänern, the gardens and the adjoining parkland. This level also comprises a private principal suite with an en-suite bathroom and its own balcony overlooking the water, as well as a smaller bedroom and a family bathroom.

The gardens have been thoughtfully designed in the style of an English landscape garden, with mature shrubs, flowering borders and specimen trees providing colour throughout the seasons. At the rear of the residence, a generous sun terrace extends towards the lake, while one of Lake Vänern’s popular bathing areas is only a short stroll away. The combination of immediate waterfront access and the elegant indoor pool, with its expansive glazing overlooking the lake, creates the atmosphere of a year-round private retreat. There is ample space for leisurely afternoons on the terrace, al fresco dining, gardening, summer gatherings, and lawn games with family and friends.

The scenic promenade follows the shoreline around the peninsula, inviting morning walks, swimming and jogging along the water’s edge. Adjacent lies an immaculately maintained park of approximately 54,000 square metres featuring expansive lawns, more than one thousand mature trees, rhododendron collections, seasonal flower displays and a water lily pond with fountain. The park also offers several bathing areas, a boat launch, outdoor fitness facilities, children’s playgrounds, disc golf, an open-air performance venue and a charming seasonal café serving light lunches, pastries and ice cream throughout the warmer months.

The property also enjoys excellent transport connections. The railway station, bus services and major road networks are all conveniently close, providing effortless access throughout the region. Central Gothenburg is only 35–45 minutes away, Göteborg Stallbacka Airport is approximately a 15-minute drive from the property, while Göteborg Landvetter Airport can be reached in around 80 minutes by car.
